Weather is not the reedboo fence's freind. As for how long the it last, it'll discolor (going from straw yellow to dusty grey) in one year or less (depending on amount of weather and it's severity). Also depending on weather, it'll breakdown completely within a few years. It's cheap for a reason, but then it also makes for spectacular change in look if you need something in a hurry, for a party, or something.

It's easy to cut in half (height-wise). Just make sure you don't cut through the wire that has been woven lengthwise. I've put it up and then used branch lopers to cut it to the right height. When cutting off the length, I've gone through and manually re-tightened the wires so it doesn't unravel.
