First I have to comment on all the reviews that said it was hard to bend, heres a hint, clamp the side and width you wish to bend between to pieces of wood and then gently hammer or roll the edge over to whatever degree you need. Second hint you need to make sure your hands are protected with sturdy leather gloves, not cloth as the ends are sharp and will poke thru cloth gloves. I am using this in the bottom of a charcoal grill to keep the ceramic briquets from falling thru the wide grill bars in the bottom of the BBQ, I dont now how long it will last as the grid gets (color) red hot and i've only done this a few times. But other than this and other than looking for something heavier in wire gauge I am satisfied.
