Sally that is what I use but I get the 36" x 36 FEET size lol. My local Ace hardware can order it for me. I have 2 rolls in a box right now waiting for spring. I keep it on hand at all times to do different things with. Its very long lasting, but like all organic products eventually has to be spiffed up. Yes, you can attach things to the matting. I have mounted orchids, anthuriums, bromeliads and all manner of things directly to the mat. I'll take some photos later today
