Questions and Answers for Saint-Gobain ADFORS 8 in. x 100 ft. Charcoal Fiberglass Vent Mesh

A:  Yes, the mesh is small enough to keep out yellow jackets, wasps, hornets etc.

A:  This mesh will keep yellow jackets out. It is very durable and strong. Great for repelling pest. I use it on my vent holes for my shed.

A:  Yes, he mesh size is 9 x 9 per inch resulting in holes far too small for a yellow jacket wasp to pass through.

A:  It is small enough that they won't be able to crawl through.

A:  No, they will chew through it in no time, use wire hardware cloth, (heavy duty wire mesh) available at your local Home Depot. Mike

A:  I do not think so. Rodents can easily chew through the fibreglass mesh if they find a reason to pass.

A:  Possibly, though it is not a wire-based mesh, so they may chew threw it if they are determined.

A:  You would have to double up on the install, another words 2 layers overlapping each other. We used it in our barn soffett's up high to keep birds out. You would be better off for rodents to use a wire mesh screen.

A:  No, this product is not rated for rat control.

A:  Possibly... the mesh itself is strong enough (it won't tear or pull apart), but being only 8" wide, you will need to have it supported across the bottom on something else, otherwise it will fall through, as it is flexible. Something with a 1" square grid should work. Anything larger and it will push thru.

A:  Hi Elle. Thank you for your question. You could use this type of material but you would be better off using Weed Mat. https://www.homedepot.com/s/Weed%20Mat?NCNI-5 The Weed Mat material will hold back most of the soil except for the minute particles and will allow air and water to flow thru it without getting clogged. The Weed Mat is better suited for garden bed as it is at least 3 feet wide and at least 50 foot long. Please let us know if we can be of further assistance. Rick_HD_OC

A:  Not sure I understand what you are trying to do, are you trying to use this as a support with no sub-base or do you just want to lay it on your sub-base. if you are making a raised bed you still need to fill the bed you don't suspend the soil. In either case you should only need garden fabric below and above in your bed.

A:  This product can be used under vents.

A:  It will prevent most insects, rodents can chew through it. Consider this on top of hardware cloth - what I have heard called "rabbit wire" or "rat wire"

A:  No, mine was 8" x 100ft

A:  Don't have a picture, but I'd say 2 layers are about a dime thick maybe less.

A:  should last but I'd use metal

A:  No, it is not a metal mesh, so it likely will melt.

A:  Yes, you can use fiberglass screen or scouring pad in the weep holes to keep insects out

A:  Not much, it is a fairly tight mesh, so <50% sunlight will get in.
