          Answer This Question

          A:  It's fairly easy to work with, wear heavy gloves and use sheet metal snips. Don't try to weld it unless you strip the zinc with acid, otherwise using some bailing wire will hold it together. on it's own it won't hold it's shape so reinforce as necessary.

            A:  No. Home Depot sell corrugated steel. You would have to use more "Angle Iron" than cost effective! And this has Sharpe edges!

              A:  Probably not

                        A:  Both are expanded metal lath. The 3.4 refers to the weight.

                          Q:can it be rolled up to transport?

                          Answer This Question

                          A:  It can be rolled (with gloves! Very sharp), however, depending how tight the roll is it may or may not recover when unrolling and, in turn, may not lay well during application

                          by|Oct 29, 2022

                            A:  To a certain extent, it can be “rolled” up.  I was able to get four in an SUV.  I’m certain one would “roll” up more than four did.  The edges are sharp.  Moving blankets.

                              A:  Yes.  I recommend using the string Home Depot supplies.  I was able to roll up 3 sheets and tie at both ends.  This will enable you to transport in your vehicle.

                                  A:  I rolled it up and put it in a box to get it in my 4runner. But I wouldn't roll it too tight
