Which is kind of what I expected based on other reviews and the fact that it cost 1/2 what other brands of 8oz fabric cost. So I'm okay with the weight, it's really about what I wanted for underlaying river rock anyhow. It did tear a bit easier than I expected when I accidently ran into it with a shovel, but again, it's good enough. And in case it's not otherwise clear, the fabric comes folded lengthwise on the roll (the roll is 2' but the fabric unfolds to 4' wide)
