TenaxDeer Control Fence, 7.5 ft x 165 ft Black

I was very happy with the quality of this fencing. It seems very sturdy, and well-make. Time will be the judge of that but from my experience, this should last many years. It was easy to install even through my garden isn't on all flat land. I installed a total of 125 linear feet, so I had to purchase 2 100' rolls, but I am sure I will find a use for the remainder. I recommend this fencing.

Used 8ft landscape Timbers (much cheaper than 4x4 PT or steel posts) every 20ft. I braced them with more LTs and laced 1/16in stainless steel cable through the top of the netting with turnbuckles to support the top. Added a few pieces of plastic flagging to make it more visible. Maybe my garden will actually feed me instead of the dear this year!

Excellent!

My garden space is on the mostly wooded lot next door so I needed an effective way to keep deer out of my garde yet I wanted something that would not be harmful to them. This fence is 7 i/2 feet day, flexible yet sturdy and so easy to put up. Just unroll and staple to your posts (or zip tie if using metal posts), The wire is coated so it will look nice for years to come.

I had ordered this product once before and found it was just what I needed, thus ordering again. When installed correctly it will keep deer out of gardens, but fencing has to be at ground level or less than one foot off of the ground. Fencing should be tight between posts and extend as high as possible, 6 to 7 feet to keep deer from jumping over.The 100-foot roll of fencing was a bit awkward to handle by one person. If you have someone to help you it makes it easier. The fencing can be cut easily with a good pair of sharp scissors, plant pruners, etc. May want to wear gardening gloves since the fence can scratch where the fencing has been cut. Leftovermaterial is easily stored. To keep people from walking into the fencing, since it is black, it is sometimes a good idea to tie light colored ribbon, so people know it is there.

High quality durable product. Easy to work with and aesthetically pleasing.

2018 update My garden grew and I got chased out by bears a couple of times so we engaged a professional company to put in sturdy posts and we used more Tenax C fence. As other reviewers noted, this stuff sags. The professionals put a bar across the top and put hog rings to hold the fence. In a few areas we have a cable with hog-rings rather than a bar. The original roll is still in use! We have used it to protect new plants in reforestation projects. Having been cut, moved, cut and moved, etc. for three years it is still in perfect condition. It survived last winter with over 200" of snow and several winters of 20 below temperatures. This stuff is rad. The bear has not tried to break through although I figure it could if it wanted. Bambi did shimmy under once but when my spouse and she had a surprise meeting over his morning coffee-stroll in the garden, she could not bust though and had to remember how to shimmy under. We subsequent locked down the fence by extending a 2 ft section onto the ground, pointing outward.Original Review: What can I say. The venerable tenax deer fence fenced out my deer just as it is supposed to and does successfully for so many people. I had a lighter weight similar fence before but I knew Bambi would not stay on the other side of it once my garden produce appeared. I bought this for the 600 lb test. It is not as "invisible" as I would desire but it really is not visible at a distance. I have mine anchored to trees and an arbor that is the entrance to my garden so it fits into the environment without tall poles. When I look at it from the road you cannot see the fence. When I am inside of the garden I can see that I am in a fence. Still, the view is nice. We have bear as well as deer and I joke that the tenax is strong enough to keep the deer out and strong enough that I would have just enough time to holler really loud if a bear wanted in.

This is very strong. Even with a Sharp knife it is not easy to cut. I used wire cutters to cut to length.I bought the 8' x 165'. Rolled out the fence on the ground than used battery powered tin shears to cut in down the middle and cut it into 2 - 4'H halves. Since I have 12' sections of privacy fence with 12' sections of Arborvitaes between. The local kids started using our yard like a public walkway. Os I cut 12' 6" sections of this fence and used stainless steel staples, installed with a Milwaukee battery T-50 stapler. I profusely stapled this fence onto the outside of the 4"x4" post, with the bottom of the fence about 8" off the ground. This is so it doesn't get damaged by the mower or weed trimmer. Standing inside the yard and looking at everything you don't even notice this fence. Just what I wanted to stop the kids and keep my kids safe all the while retaining the beauty of our fence design. This should last long enough for the neighbors kids to grow up and not be a problem anymore. Also will help me get along with the neighbors nwo I don't have to scream at their kids all the time.

I needed to put a fence up to keep deer out. I found the Tenax Fencing to be surprisingly strong and lightweight. Used metal T posts and tie wraps worked great and went up quick.Also once up the fencing is almost invisible until you get right up to it. I only require the fence during the winter months but I'm likely going to leave it up year round because of how inconspicuous it is.Would definitely purchase the product again if required.

We are using this to guard 65' of cedar hedge from deer. We've tried lighter gauge netting but the deer tear through it. We've tried electric fence, no bueno. This has only been up a couple of weeks, the real test is when there's snow on the ground and the deer get desperate for food. My impression is that this will work, it's too thick to tear. Very easy to install on 10mm rebar posts, I used fencing hog ties to clamp it to the posts, seemed to work well. The material is somewhat stiff but we found it very easy to work with and install. This stuff is lmost invisible, the posts are much more noticeable than the netting.

Hung from 3/16” aircraft cable and surrounding an area of its entire length. Entrance became the two overlapped ends. Deer tracks up to the fence and never an attempt to go over. We will see how it survived the winter taken down and buried in the snow (too lazy to remove from the cable and roll it up).

Great product really works. We had a really bad deer problem in our backyard and were looking for a solution. Its almost invisible from our kitchen window 40 feet away. Fastened it to our existing low wooden fence. Better than using water sprinkler thingy which is useless in the winter, and cheaper than a high fence which would also spoil our view. Completely satisfied with this good quality product.

I bought the fencing to protect a cedar hedge from the deer. Last year I planted $700 worth of cedar trees and during the winter the deer killed half of them and damaged the rest. I drove 8 ft steel posts 2 ft into the ground and put up the fencing with tie wraps. Very easy to install and I'm hoping that the mesh will protect the trees. Life of mesh is given as 10 years - time will tell
