If you’re looking for something that will look nice and flat this probably isn’t it. It’s a bit too flimsy for a good smooth look if you’re stretching it to a frame or something. It’s just for a garden fence for me so I’m not too bothered by some looseness. It was pretty well packaged and only a few nicks in the coating or bends in the grid were present. The 100’ roll is also a beast to work with.
