DESCRIPTION > Basic flagging tape about 1 1/8" wide by 150' long. > Bright, translucent, flexible, water-proof, plastic ribbon. Non-adhesive. > Stretchy and tough, but breaks fairly easily into the desired lengths. > Weather resistant, will probably stay in place, without significant fading outdoors for years (but I haven't tested this specific color and brand). > Slightly textured, which helps it stay tied, when tied. But it is also easily removable. USES > The traditional use is for marking things, such as tagging trees to be cut down (or not), or limbs to be trimmed, etc. > > Usually things "to do" are marked in red, orange, or yellow. Things to "leave alone" are marked blue or green. > You can use it to mark anything you can tie it to. > > These could be items on sale. > > These could be items to be moved (or not moved). > You can blaze hiking trails. > You can use it for party decorations. > You can use it with costumes, e.g., to make "grass" skirts, or to identify teams (e.g. with headbands or armbands) > You can use it for off-beat ribbons for gifts, etc. > You can hold one end and throw it off a the top of a building for long bright streamers. > You can use it as a "barrier" tape (like police tape), such as to divide a "parking area" from a "non-parking area". > With stakes, etc. you can use it to mark off areas for various purposes, e.g. to outline the proposed location of a house, the location of underground pipes or a septic tank.400 BRAND NEW 6" SOD OR LANDSCAPE FABRIC STAPLES > With stakes, etc. you can use it to mark the location of rows of vegetable plants (before they sprout), so you'll know where to water and where not to walk > You can use it to tie-up delicate plants, such as young vegetable plants to stakes---there is actually a dark green version for this purpose. > You can use it for safer bondage games, since the tied-up person can break loose if necessary. > Ordinary adhesive tape does stick well to flagging tape, so you can use adhesive tape to attach flagging tape to things. NOT SUITABLE FOR > Flagging tape is stretchy and intentionally not strong (so that you can tear off pieces as you need it)---so it isn't good as string or rope for tying most things together. > There is no adhesive backing, so you can't use it to "tape" things together. > Click on “Stoney” just below the product title to see my other reviews, or leave a comment to ask a question.
