The fencing is sturdy and made to last for some time. It is exactly what I needed to keep the dogs out of my flowerbed. The only downside was having to twist on the spikes that go into the ground. If you have a long piece of fencing it can take more time than one may expect, but there is also an upside because if you are placing the fence where you don't want those spikes to push into the ground, you can just skip that part. I am pleased with my order and plan on purchasing another set.
