Chain link fencing

Dip it in starch or use spray starch and let it dry or iron it first.

An alternative is just to buy veil netting (for bridal veils) since it is already very stiff. Cut it to size, attach to posts and spray paint it gray....

Well, that's one way to do it. (He trims it *after* attaching it to the post/rail structure.)

If a guy wanted to cut it to size before attaching it, what he could do is tape the tulle (pronounced "tool") material to a piece of paper, then cut the "sandwich" carefully with scissors. That's what I'd do, anyhow.

Have not tried it for myself yet, but how about laying a strip of cellotape down on the mesh, cutting with scissors, and removing tape?

I think that using regular tape will destroy the mesh. But, if you use the "repositionable" tape you might not have that problem.
