Do you know what gauge this wire is? I'm looking for 9 gauge in order to make some hoops for my garden.

I purchased this w/o caring much about the actual gauge. The description is apparently incorrect: this item number (Hillman #123106) is 20-gauge (0.88mm); roll length is 175 feet.

what gauge is this wire?

I have a package of Hillman #123106 in hand, and it's 20-gauge. (0.88mm diameter in metric.) Stated length of the spool is 175 ft.

Hello, can this be used for electrical fence applications? or should I use aluminum wire?

I'm not an expert on the topic of electrical fences, but two factors would favor the aluminum wire in my mind: (1) Aluminum is about twice as conductive as carbon steel (http://chemistry.about.com/od/moleculescompounds/a/Table-Of-Electrical-Resistivity-And-Conductivity.htm), which might make the Al more cost-effective from an electricity consumption perspective. (2) The aluminum shouldn't corrode as badly as the steel, and you don't want a layer of rust on the outside of your electrical fence wires, as it will probably reduce the 'poke' it gives out. (The zinc galvanized layer on the steel probably won't help much, since I assume you're planning to power it with AC--every time the fence swings positive when it's wet, the zinc layer will etch away a bit, eventually exposing the steel underneath.)

Can this be used to extend a radio antenna?

For the antenna, I use copper or Aluminum, your array or range of frequency is important.

I just used it today. I bought inexpensive tarps with these. I ran cables slid them to the tarp wrapped up my whole balcony. Keep the snow off this year. I’m learning. I’m only sixty years old.

Very malleable wire, incredibly sturdy and workable. The small size of the wire makes it very easy to use.

I got this after seeing a jewellery making video but have since discovered that it is not suitable for that purpose. Not being acquainted with the properties of galvanized metal I was unaware that it is very toxic and should not be worn on the skin. The product itself is well made and neatly spooled but only suitable for gardening and outdoor purposes.
