I've seen a variety of gauges. Price jumps accordingly:)

That's the stuff i made my loft pens out of. it's decent, it probably wouldn't hold up too long outside in the weather (maybe 2 years or 3 years), but inside it's been fantastic.

It's galvanized. I've mostly used it inside a building. I haven't had any rust yet. I only started using it when I got chickens in 2013, so none of it is very old.
