Abstract
Let be a sequence of i.i.d. positive random variables. Starting from the usual square lattice replace each horizontal edge that links a site in the ith vertical column to another in the th vertical column by an edge having length . Then declare independently each edge e in the resulting lattice open with probability where and is the length of e. We relate the occurrence of a nontrivial phase transition for this model to moment properties of . More precisely, we prove that the model undergoes a nontrivial phase transition when , for some . On the other hand, when , percolation never occurs for . We also show that the probability of the one-arm event decays no faster than a polynomial in an open interval of parameters p close to the critical point.

Acknowledgments
We would like to thank two anonymous referees for their helpful suggestions. The first version of this manuscript contained a weaker version of Theorem 1.2 where we have assumed ξ to have infinite moment of order . We are specially grateful to one of the referees for sharing with us her/his ideas for the proof of a stronger version of Theorem 1.2.
