I cut this paper into 2 foot sections to go between the rows of my garden to block out weeds. It was easy to cut. I used the garden staples to hold it in place. It's not quite as thick as I thought it would be but time will tell if it keeps those weeds out. It seems to be staying in place just fine. I do like it and will be ecstatic if it blocks the weeds like it is supposed to. We have been walking on it and it seems sturdy.
