Jobes Jobe’s LG400171 Deer Barrier Fencing, 7 ft x 100 ft, Black

Used this to enclose a makeshift chicken pen and it has held up quite well since I initially installed it. Don't have many wild animals around where I live that would endanger my chickens so this fits perfectly for my needs but if you do have animal threats (to your chickens or garden or whatever) then I would either use something more sturdy or reinforce this with something more sturdy. It was easy enough for me to use and install and seems like it will last for a long while so I can recommend it.

Bought this to keep deer out of the garden. Easy to use and durable.

2017 update: 2 years after installation, the deer fencing is holding up in the Arizona sun, and looks as good as the day we put it up. Note: If you're using zip ties to attach this, find UV-protected cables! If you get the cheap plastic ones, they'll turn brittle and fail within a year. I get 8" nylon ties, UV protected, capable of holding 40 lbs (not that you need them that strong, but better to pay a couple of extra dollars and have ties that will last for many years). After installation, just snip off the tails with a pair of wire cutters. The deer barrier itself must be UV-protected, because it remains strong and undamaged after 2 years.Note: some people said the deer just kicked their way through the fencing. We have deer, javelina (a type of wild pig), and elk! Bull elk weigh something like 600 to 800 lbs. We protected our orchard and garden with electric wire as well -- four strands along the 7' high fence at differing heights.----------------------I've bought both the light-weight poly fencing material that is more like the stuff you see listed as "bird netting" (but also by some as deer netting) and now this. At $60 a roll at the time of this writing [gone up $6 two years later!] I had to consider value for price, as I needed two rolls for my particular application and 120-bucks was something to think about. However, it is much heavier than the bird netting or other lightweight offerings, which makes it easier to handle.It arrives folded in half and so has a heavy crease when you unfold it. Some reviewers said they left it open to let this fall out before putting it up, so I tried that on the first roll. However, I did not find it a problem simply to stretch the material out as I went along, so didn't bother doing that on the second roll -- just unrolled it on our driveway, and then two of us carried it to the fence. I got up on the stepladder and attached the top to each T-post (6 ft apart). Once the entire top was connected per side of the orchard, two of us worked on each section -- one holding the netting from getting tangled, while the other attached the material to the T-posts with the nylon zip ties. That worked great.We have an orchard of fruit and nut trees to protect. We have elk, deer, herds of javelina (a type of wild pig or more correctly, peccary), skunk, rabbit and several varieties of ground squirrels, so we have quite the challenge!I made my fence with 10 ft T-posts, which I pounded into the dirt, leaving 8' feet exposed. No poly netting will stop the gnawing critters like rabbits which just chew through. So we bought welded "rabbit wire" for the bottom 2 feet. I used a rented channel cutter (cuts a line about 6" across and as deep as you want, to a couple of feet. I cut a channel about 6 inches deep to bury the bottom of the wire. We attached this poly fencing and attached it at 1.5' off the dirt, and stretched up is 7' height to the top. Once the poly was up, I ran a line of 17g wire along the entire top of the fence, folded the poly over it by an inch or two, and tied it down. That prevents any sagging and 2 years later, it's fine. I bought an electric charger for my fence and wired it at 1ft above dirt, 2ft, 4ft, and 8 with live wires.The end result is a professional, good-looking fence that no deer or elk has ever breached.Highly recommended.

This netting was definitely thicker than most of the other netting i’ve purchased online. It doesn’t tangle like the thin ones do. It was easy to use. Although I will say that summer of the plastic squares were not complete. Here and there one of the sides of the squares would be missing. Not a huge deal. I suppose the really thick plastic netting is probably twice the price. So this was a reasonable purchase.

This fencing has definitely protected my garden from deer, but rabbits are chewing through it. If you want protection from both, you will want to reinforce the "rabbit zone" with chicken wire or some other metal option.

The Easy Gardener LG400171 fence is black polypropylene, with a grid of 1 1/8" x 7/8" (ht x width). The fence comes folded in half to a 3 1/2' width and rolled. This information seems to be lacking both on Amazon, Easy Gardener, and other web sites. We installed two of these fences -- 65' and 90' perimeter.Preparation includes post installation. The posts should be plumb, or the fence will sag in places. We spaced posts 8' apart. We also marked a spot on each post that was a level point. That is, each post had a mark at the same level, even though the distance to ground of that point varied on each post. I cheated and used my Leica laser level. By having this level point, I could measure to ground, and obtain ground contour, and could measure to the post top to determine where extensions might be needed. We used 7' posts, and had, typically, 68" above ground. I cut sections of other posts and attached for customized extensions, to place the lowest ground portion at 78", and all other posts to this same level (but varying lengths to ground). We could determine that the ground rise was such that we did not need multiple levels to have adequate fence height at the highest point.To install, we had to unroll the fence on our driveway, and unfold to the 7' width. We then folded the fence along the 100' length, making multiple accordian folds of about 5'. Carrying this 5'x 7' glob of fence to the garden, we proceeded to attach one end to the appropriate post, then worked our way around to the gate area, stretching with moderate force. We attached the fence to the post with zip ties. Our gate is a piece of fencing, continuous with the total fence. The end of the fence is taped and zip-tied to a 1/2' plastic pipe, with some holes drilled through. Thus, the gate portion of the fence is attached to a left fence post on one end, and the pipe on the other. The pipe is held in place at a second fence post on the right by placing the pipe over a piece of re-bar (driven into the ground), and by strapping the middle of the pipe to the the right fence post. To open the gate, untie the strap, and lift the pipe 6-8" above the re-bar, and move the pipe to the side.We mounted the fence about 3" above the level of the pole tops, which gave very little top sag. (Garden #1 had 6", and the sag is noticible, but only an esthetic issue.) In stretching the fence, we kept the fence level by using the post markings. Thus, the fence was 3" higher than each post (with a few exceptions where I didn't extend for an inch or so). The portion on the ground varied with ground contour, and was cut after installation to ground level. We have 4x6's lining the garden, so I merely stapled the bottom of the trimmed fence to the 4x's. We're applying the trimmed pieces of fencing to our tomatoe trellises.Installation was, thus, quite reasonable. The fence is sufficiently strong initially, with no strength problems or breakage during moderate stretching. In spite of the trimmed ends (along the 100' length), the fence did not catch upon itself during installation. Since the fence is new, there is no data on longevity.We used EG deer netting last year on one garden. It worked, but broke occasionally, and had to be mended. I don't anticipate that happening this year with the deer barrier fencing, and anticipate multiple years of use. For us, an unfenced garden is merely deer food

First time in years we will get more garden vegetables than the deer

We used to buy the lighter netting to keep out the deer but it gets destroyed by the heavy snow during winter months. Hopefully this will take the weight of the snow better. We extended it 32 inches above the fence and the rest below. It’s barely visible so the birds are just getting used to it. They are fast learners! We used zip ties and garden stakes. It was extremely easy to install. The lighter netting we had previously used became tangled very easily and was pretty frustrating. Will wait about a week to see if the deer get in, if not, will start planting.

We had tried a lighter mesh last year, but the deer managed to break through it. This is sturdier. Obviously not as strong as metal mesh, but cheaper and easy to handle.

This stuff is strong! Tall enough and works as it should! Sooo much fencing for the $$ great value. It will not tear apart.

Reasonably solid. When clipped to a fence post, the nylon strings will eventually rip in the wind. Not a big deal, you tie it with another string. Should last for many years.
