I order 1000’ roll, and I received a 1000’ roll. Wire was easy to work and slid through my bare hand without a scratch. My railing included a 93’ run. Originally, I planned to make it 3 separate runs of approximately 30’ each, but I changed to one 93’ run. Seemed to tighten fine, but only time and temperature variance will tell how much more, if any, I will need to tighten. I have 1-2” I can tighten if needed. More than that I’ll have a problem and will write another review. I’m not sure what is meant by “sheerness” so I don’t know about it.
