Hi Sandi. The wire I received was not vinyl coated, but instead has a galvanized (metal) coating for rust resistance, and which of course is somewhat silver/gray in color. The wire is indeed welded at the seams, though. Hope that helps!

There is a company window film and more that sells (windowfilmandmore.com) that sell sheets of one way mirrors (the stuff that I guess is in the window feeder that costs a whole lot more), and other glass covers that may work. They sent me free small samples (three total) but I haven't used anything yet because it hasn't gotten warm yet :) ... but any of the three look like they will work. I'm planning on using it for the window bird feeder also. (which ever one I end up picking)

There is a special kind of vinyl that is recommended for walls. It is oracle 631. It is a temporary indoor vinyl. I have a business that makes vinyl wall decals. So if you are going to be making them make sure you buy this. Oracle 651 is for outside and is permanent. Darmel Treasures

The coop is made of redwood cedar. Very good quality. However, very small. Enough room for 2-4 at the most. Its a good start for chicks. Good luck.

I agree with the answer from Nicholas, below. I (an ex-herpetologist ) would go with galvanized hardware cloth. If for no other reason, plastic ages, gets brittle and breaks. But fortunately, I just deal with rabbits in the garden and not rattlesnakes.

it's a nice vinyl coated black..even if it was chrome you couldn't see it unless the unit wasn't in place...

The listing describes it as 1000', so there is that. The color of the coating is that of the heavy duty stuff too, which they describe it as. Generally the "Heavy Duty is black, 20g., and suitable for above and below ground. Yellow is the 18g, works too, less resilient. After a LOT of research (we did approx. 10 acres and this stuff is not cheap, so...) Assumptions are a bit more comfortable here with Radio Fence because this company is now quite trusted by me, our having done business with them more than once. We purchased a number of these rolls and then an additional 500' from them. It is all still above ground too, and the best decision made when it came to 2 hunter hounds. One JUST brought a Squirrel back in blizzard like conditions here as a matter of fact! The people there are great folks and also would absolutely take a call to answer any of your questions...give 'em a try and see. They won me over...obviously. Hope this helps and I am glad to speak to you more directly if you like, answer any more questions. The amount of investment on our part WAS a nail biter, yes...but we've never regretted it. So, we understand the concerns, feel free to reach out.

I would recommend checking local code. Even if the code allows it, personally I would feel more comfortable with black pipe for the outside, mainly due to highier possibility of puncture with a corrugated pipe. I used this product inside a building and ended up running it inside a pvc pipe to help protect it from drywall screws, etc.

It is heavy woven thread netting. It is not a thin polymer bird net. The squares are big - 2"x2". A child or small adult could push a hand through one of these holes. It is ideal as a safe roofing material for a large bird aviary. However, you would want to insure that roosts are not placed directly beneath the netting. A hawk or owl could strike a roosting bird through the netting - probably wouldn't be able to get the bird after that strike, but it would already be dead.

No experience with vinyl siding. I can say that it is a light unit, about 2 +/- lb. There are 2 screw holes on the unit. I had the same problem for a different reason, my landlord did not want any said no attachments on the siding or roof. I used 2 long black (UV proof) plastic wire ties and attached it to one of the porch roof supports. Good luck.

It is apparent Stuff It can be easily wrapped around most anything as it comes in a roll and the material is kind of springy, airy, bright copper in cokor. I used it to get rid of the birds that had been filling the channel in my overhead awning on my deck. The Stuff it has a reflective quality and birds don't like that when the sun hits it. After having a piece of PVC pipe put in the awning channel and repeatedly removing the nesting material which the birds rigorously put in the small spaces left around the channel. The pipe did prevent the birds from being able to build an nest but not from putting as much nesting material as possible into any space they could find. In order to disuade the birds from coming around at all, the stuff it has worked this summer and I have been bird nest free for about 3 months. No poop on the deck railings either. It did help that the birds were desperate to build a nest as bird hatching got closer and I took preventitive measures to make sure that did not happern. The Stuff It was just pushed into any area ariound the pipe where it would fit. Hope this helps.

That's what I did. I also had to put chicken wire (i used the plastic kind) across the bottom of the little coop because the hens were digging holes. also I zip tied the 2 sections together because the latches didn't work well. now they are pretty secure.

Hello! What appeared as your question to me was, you have two small windows 22' x 22'. Did you mean 22 FEET X 22 FEET as implied by what I received or 22 INCHES x 22 INCHES? Let us assume that you meant 22 inches x 22 inches, since these would be SMALL windows. Yes, one roll would do you fine with lots left over, since the roll is 3 FEET x 15 FEET. As an example, each roll would provide enough material to cover TWO standard sized patio doors (35"x84"). Now, if you really meant 22 feet x 22 feet, this would require some expert installation work as we are talking about absolutely HUGE picture windows. My guess is you meant 22inches x 22inches. You could do two more regular windows (30"x60") with what is left over. I hope that this helped you.

hi, I was using this mirror film for a project ( to create a fake mirror ) not for my windows. But it's very good quality and again for what I needed to create a fake one way mirror. Remember animals have good senses. If I were you I would try this first, sometimes you pay only the brand

This is a single strand wire coated with vinyl. Seems to be very strong and easy to work with. I noticed that the green color will fade in the sun to a silver grey if that matters. A braided wire would be stronger but would cost a lot more money. I made four lines from a 100 ft. package to divide the work load and this works fine!

Dear Amazon User, I installed clear, colorless UV blocking film from Gila on the bottom row of my french window (with 4 rows) because the light only came through the bottom row due to the overheng of my roofline. I found that I cannot see any difference in the coated windows versus the uncoated. It is quite undetectable. Ken in So Cal.

Hello. This vinyl was a thicker vinyl than what I typically work with. It is a glossy finish vinyl -- not matte finish. I did not put this vinyl on any painted surfaces or sell it to anyone for that purpose. This set of vinyl sheets was used for wrapping and cutting special projects that weren't placed on drywall surfaces. Send me your address -- I'm happy to send you a few pieces of it to try before you get it. :)
