is this vinyl or metal? I have an issue with snakes getting through my iron fencing slats and want to close up the gaps..Will this work?

This is steel. I bought it to deter snakes as well. I stapled it in an L shape at the bottom of my fence. It seems to be very effective. Thank goodness because I hate snakes! Also, the price here is way cheaper than my local big box stores.

It's galvanized steel. However, snakes may still get in if its not tall enough. Make sure to bury at least 6 to 9 inches into the ground as well. Good Luck !!

It is metal and will work perfect for a snake barrier. I have used it on a pigeon cage and under a porch for keeping out skunks but I am sure without a doubt it will also keep out snakes if you make sure you didn't leave any holes that the snake could get around, over or under this wire.

This is metal. We have had rats, squirrels, and raccoons all trying to get through with no luck. Great material.

This stuff is not going to tear, it is heavy duty!! It is vinyl NOT cheap plastic. The rolled weight wasn't too heavy but it is a 150' roll. I used it to close in our new screen porch, so we can heat it. Working awesome!

Sorry for the delay in answering. My houses (2) have, on the inside, below the entrance hole, four parallel ridges that go about a third of the way around the front inside, and spaced about an inch apart. They are clearly man made and not part of the PVC manufacturing process. Whether they are "serf cuts" or not I don't know. They seem to be intended to give birds purchase for getting up to the opening.

It's plastic. You could try it but I wouldn't recommend it. I fabricated an oversize piece of pvc drain pipe and put over mine. It keeps the rain and ice off of the shaft and slides back and forth with the gate

I am not sure...my mailbox is metal....but so far it is sticking and holding up well after several months.

It is vinyl but it looks like a white picket fence until you get up close. It is quite decorative and very easy to erect. Go for it!

Fencing is polypropylene...10-15 feet post spacing recommended but up to 20 feet ok.

It is for windows. To replace the plastic or wire screen that cats or pets can tear up by clawing at it. I guess you can put up on posts to fence in a small pet, but it would take several rolls.

Well, glad you asked. I love this snake. About 1/4 of the way from the pointy end (metal weight) there is a wire brush. I dip mine in Hoppe's #9 bore cleaner and pull it through. A bit hard at first but it will go through. It's wiped by the raggy portion of the snake as you pull. Now I put a little TW25 gun grease on the snake several inches behind the wire brush and pull it through again. Oiled clean as a wistle. Maybe 5 minutes at the most in time. I may do the bore clean several times but not the grease. Spend the rest of my time polishing the rest of the piece.

It looks like vinyl to me, but it could be wire coated in vinyl. I recommend this unit. It's wonderful for hanging a lot of laundry at one time, and it folds up quickly and with no problems whatsoever.

I don't know the guage or quality of the metal. The pads are more like covers, same material as a leaf tarp, and simply cover the springs. We have had ours now for almost a year and it has worked great! The pads/cover work sufficiently well to protect the kids and me from the springs. And the whole thing is holding up great. A whole lot of fun!

I use the fencing for around my garden & a cat pen so I don't know the recommended post spacing. The material is a flexible plastic that is very strong & over a couple of years have not had any breaking issues.

I believe it is just spray painted. There is no vinyl coating type material on the bars. We have had this cage for about 3-months with no issues. Large bottom Tray and small shelves are plastic. Floors top and bottom are wire (our ferret does not like walking on the wire so we cut plastic bath mat to lay on floors. Otherwise this cage is well made.

It is made of a metal but it's really flimsy. We lined the chicken coop yard and the dog basically bit threw it in minutes. It's really easy to work with though and would work well to keep rabbits or something like that out of a garden space.

Hello Kevin, I just measured my Richell plastic paneled fence. The gaps are 1 1/2 inches wide. I bought it to use on my enclosed patio to protect my old cat from energetic dogs. The gaps are way too narrow to be any risk to my cat....I wouldn't think even a kitten could get their head through a 1 1/2 opening. Hope that was helpful? FYI? I have both the plastic fencing for outside, AND the very pretty, (also more spendy) wood & wire version inside the house. Fabulous product.

I'm not an expert on the topic of electrical fences, but two factors would favor the aluminum wire in my mind: (1) Aluminum is about twice as conductive as carbon steel (http://chemistry.about.com/od/moleculescompounds/a/Table-Of-Electrical-Resistivity-And-Conductivity.htm), which might make the Al more cost-effective from an electricity consumption perspective. (2) The aluminum shouldn't corrode as badly as the steel, and you don't want a layer of rust on the outside of your electrical fence wires, as it will probably reduce the 'poke' it gives out. (The zinc galvanized layer on the steel probably won't help much, since I assume you're planning to power it with AC--every time the fence swings positive when it's wet, the zinc layer will etch away a bit, eventually exposing the steel underneath.)

Snakes? eek. Not sure about snakes, but it does a good job of keeping the squirrels out of the feeder. I went through 2 plastic baffles then got this one.
