I am a widow with adult children who live separately. A thick wire mesh had to be cut for a garden fence. I was familiar with these types of products on the farm growing up and then with my husband's profession. I knew this was what I needed. If it were good quality. Surprise! That! Cutting this screen is as easy as cutting paper with scissors. The only downside is that it's big and uncomfortable for my small hand. But don't worry, ladies. You will understand.
