lighter than I was expecting. I'm concerned how it will hold up as I have it stretched over a chicken coop area - which is why I went with the wider roll. It seems to have some strength, even given the lightness of the weave, but I'm concerned how it will hold up to leaves/sticks etc falling on it. I think it would be fine if you were covering bushes - but I have a feeling I'll be replacing this after a year.
