Is this hardware cloth?

[gemd]

Curious if this is hardware cloth. I found it. Maybe it's just very small sized chicken wire/fencing? Either way would it work to fortify my coop from predators?

Yep, looks like it.

So how do I bend it if needed? I'm not sure how much I have. Certainly not 50 feet but I will take what I can get since it was free

Put it on a table and bend it down over the edge. Or if you have a long thick board of some sort, you can use that to bend it in a straight line. Use tin snips to cut it.

You need the hulk.

Just kidding, kind of. I would do like previous poster said and bend over the table. Lots of patience required

Don’t forget to wear heavy duty work gloves. That stuff will cut you up.

Yep, looks like 1/2" HC.

It could work if attached well.

Sorry to be no help- but I had to chime in- this is how I know I am Aussie when I ask myself what Hardware Cloth (Chicken / Bird Mesh) and Tin Snips (Wire Cutters) are

I don't personally wear gloves, and they aren't 100% necessary as long as you are aware of the pointed edges or remove the excess prongs from the cut side. Easy to apply and use, I've added it to coops before and will be again in the future
