This is a great product for use in a home garden. The space between rows has never been neater. It provides excellent weed barrier.The product lays down perfectly and is easy to work with. I used metal u shaped spikes to secure it. It is a good substantial weight made it easy to install, not blowing around before I had it secured. I believe the felt like backing makes it easy to cling to the dirt. The woven top side is not hot. I have used black plastic before as well as the thin cloth like weed barrier which were both fails. This product is far superior and looks good, more professional.
