I'm making some mesh habitats for Mantids. Is this sturdy/flexible enough to be the spiral supports? It will be covered by a sewn in fabric strip.

It's incredibly sturdy. I don't know that I would describe it as "flexible." It's very heavy gauge wire.

My wife ordered it to shape into names for wedding hangers and it was too stiff to make into cursive names, it would definintly be strong enough for supports but depending on how tight you're spiraling them it may be difficult if you want them smaller than an inch spirals.

It is strong and flexible. You should not have any issues. This is a good quality product.

No - it is a heavy-duty mesh. Long lasting that keeps out big bugs, but not the no see ums.

It is a sturdy fabric, not as heavy as canvas but several layers. We had one complaint that one of the straps broke after only a few uses. We have a Kurgo car seat cover and for years it has provided good protection and a canvas like material with a vinyl water proof backing. We use it for more than transporting the dogs (3). I use it for bringing home plants and flowers etc. I think if you have a small dog the cover you ask about would be fine.

Deborah, it's really not large enough to support soft shells. Works great for the hard ones and may be alright for smaller diameter soft ones, though.

No. It is quite sturdy. If you leave it outside year 'round, especially in the sun it will fade. The yellow fabric on the wire is poor quality an eventually tears but is easily repaired/reinforced with zip(cable) ties. Only after several years of constant outdoor abuse will the mesh tear. I have a "cat maze" set up 24/7 outside. I discarded a few old sections this spring due to weathering. One caution, however. Big dogs CAN tear the mesh if they have access and intend to get to the cats! ( FYI I have purchased two mazes and about 30 fun runs over time. I still have both mazes outdoors as well as most of the fun runs. Connected together you get a cat "habitrail".) No. It is quite sturdy.

I think it's pretty sturdy. A twin sheet fits perfectly over it to protect it.

That small mesh should work well. As soon as canning season is over I am going to place the webbing in the overhead of my carport and sheds. By hanging it on strings I can keep the birds from building in the overhead.

The mesh is pretty sturdy. As with anything, you need to use common sense when loading it to make sure that your items don't puncture the mesh. We are very pleased with our purchase.

I have no knoledge over that. You might wanna ask someone that does on a butterfly forum or something. But I dont see why it wouldnt. Its a pretty good enclosure.

I really don't know how to answer your question, since we all have different taste. I think it is a matter of choice. Either material should be sturdy.

This probably would t be any sturdier. It's very pliable. We made bird nest necklaces at a functions and it worked good for that but we need pliable wire to wind. Hope this helps.

it's a canvas like material. Actually pretty resistant. HOWEVER... the bolt that goes into the middle bracket scrapes against the fabric as you are rolling/unrolling the awning and eventually caused a tear in mine. Aside from the difficulty in getting the bolt in there, it's not worth it, since it will eventually rip the fabric. I, personally, feel that the two bolts on the end are sufficient, since the bolts only hold the canopy in the brackets and don't actually support any weight (the brackets support the weight). Hope this helps!

The straps that hold the sides from flapping have broken in mine but are easily replaced with some cordage. I have had. I other quality issues. They hold up well. I have not made any attempt to add to the top of it but I don't see why you couldn't.

The Obus Forme is working really well for me. I bought one for the car and one for the office chair. I've never tried mesh supports, so I can't speak to that.

Yes, there are no hard plastics or metals to make this non-flexible. If you grab this at any place with 2 fingers, the area on both sides will flop downwards? But the coiled shape is fixed, at rest it will always lay in the position shown.

Yes; the mesh is quite fine, a bit larger than window-screening. Cracked corn and even small seeds will stay in this feeder. The mesh on my feeder is strong and not flimsy at all. Lots of times six or seven little birds will be crowded into it at once! I suppose a very large bird could tip the feeder, but my mourning doves and red-winged blackbirds use it without tipping it.
