In the Q&A portion of this 330' roll of wire on the TSC website, the manufacturer provides links to this image when asked about the size of their wire.
The width of the openings is 6"
I deduced that these dimensions were small enough to contain my hens.
After hauling the 120 pound rolll of wire home on my scooter and then facing the task of stringing it, I didn't suspect that I would have to stop and first measure the openings. I trusted the chart.
So I muscled that roll through the brush and created the new enclosure for Speckles and some ladies.
I lured them inside... but they soon squeezed their way back through the fence.
At this point, I examined the dimensions more closely and discovered that the openings were much larger than advertised.
I tried to warn others and notify the company in my review, but TSC rejected it without any specific objection. Now in other threads, where TSC was taking a beating, I have praised them and even in my review, I absolved TSC of any guilt and laid the blame solely on the manufacturer's representative providing inaccurate specifications.
I didn't cuss. I don't know what I said that they are condemning as inappropriate? The fact that it's a negative review? How valuable are reviews if they weed out info such as this?
So I can't share this information with prospective buyers on TSC's website but at least whoever reads this here is forewarned. When people go to the trouble of contacting the manufacturer to clarify details about the merchandise that they are selling, I think we deserve accurate information.
