I'm in the middle of replacing the siding and windows on my house. I bought a gable vent that came with cheap, lousy mesh to keep critters out. My neighbor has the same vent and told me that birds were easily able to get through the mesh on his, so I bought this to replace the built-in mesh (which I was easily able to push out with 2 finger pressure). Being metal, I doubt birds or squirrels will get through it. I cut it to size easily with some tin snips, popped a few rivets in every few inches to hold it in, put a bead of caulk all the way around, popped it in place, and covered the edges with some flashing tape. I've had the vent up for a couple months now and it's held up better than the original mesh would have.

I am trying to seal out mice and bugs from furnace exhaust pipes and condensation drain pipes that lead outside of my house. Amazon is excellent with availability, quick delivery and competitive pricing. This screen is woven so it will not fray. I'm going to cut the circles to fit, and shove them up in the pipe. The screen is stiff enough to do the job right.

We did some work along our soffit in order to add exterior house shades. This product was used to create a similar vent to those existing in other areas of our soffiting. It was cut to size with tin snips and stapled to a wood frame. Worked well and should keep the bugs out.

This mesh screen is worth the buy. It’s very durable and tough. The Dremel I used with a cutting disc had a hard time cutting through it. Which is a great sign since I’m using it to keep pest from chewing through it.

Good quality, strong mesh. I bought this to protect a shower drain and it fit my needs perfectly. I use a walk-in shower for bathing my dog (which is much easier than dealing with a bath!) and needed something to catch all the hair. The drain under the drain plate is basically just a big open hole and I worried about dog hair clogging the drain or causing issues with the pipes or plumbing. All of the drain protectors I looked at wouldn't have worked. So I bought this mesh, cut a piece the size of the drain and shoved it down in there. I can still fit the drain plate over it but the mesh is strong enough that if I step directly on it, it will still hold up. It's also quite smooth and feels fine if it's making direct contact with skin. I don't worry about it rusting, wearing through and puncture holes are unlikely (at least, in my application). Water flows through it easily and it catches all the hair. A quick swipe with a tissue after a dog shower picks up all the hair it catches. This mesh was actually a bit stronger than I anticipated but I was pleasantly surprised. I don't have tin snips so I used a pair of kitchen shears to cut it. It took a bit of hand strength but it worked. As others have said, beware the edges! You could probably fight off an attacker with this stuff (and win). I had to bend and shape the edges to get it to fit into my drain and needed pliers to do it. It's bendable by hand but folding or shaping it will require more than bare hands. Overall, very satisfied with this wire mesh.

Received 18 mesh but product description reads 20 mesh. Received a piece measuring 23.50" x 11.75" but product description reads 24" x 12". It'll work for what I'm using it for and is sturdy. Arrived earlier than expected so that was a plus.
