Questions & Answers
Will it rust out in the weather?
Galvanized wire is highly resistant to rust because of the protective zinc coating that keeps moisture away from the steel beneath. However, it can over a very long period of time be affected by rust. With the thickness of the wire, it could last up to 20 years or longer.
I have vinyl fencing with rocks as a ground boarder. Groundhogs are moving my rocks & digging holes as a passerby to a connecting yard. If I move the rocks back & install your 8” deep 2” wide fencing would it prevent further digging?
Thank you for your question! We work with numerous pest control companies and they prefer the XL model for those situations. It has the deepest protection and the smallest spike spacing for the most aggressive diggers!
The wire is 7 gauge and galvanized?
The wire is 4 gauge and galvanized, not 7 gauge, it's thicker!
Will these keep skunks out of the yard?
We work with numerous pest control companies and they prefer the XL model for those situations. It has the deepest protection and the smallest spike spacing for the most aggressive diggers!
How many inches are between the vertical rods. I have two mini poodles of 12 lbs. each.
This unit comes with 2 inch spike spacing between the verticial tines!
I have 110? vinyl fencing with bottom gap all around. Will this product keep chihuahua inside fence?
Yes, when installing leave the top lateral line flush with the bottom of the vinyl fencing as to not leave any gaps in protection!
I have a chain link fence. I don't need the depth to keep rabbits out. I need minimal spacing between spikes so they can't squeeze through and under the fence gaps. Which unit would be best for this? Thanks!
Hello, thank you for your inquiry. We work with numerous pest control companies and they prefer the XL model for these situations, it has the smallest spike spacing (less than 1.5"), however if you are having trouble with adult rabbits the Small/Med barrier has 2 inch spike spacing and should be sufficient. If you find that they are still squeezing through the 2 inch spacing, you can double up on units, staggering the 2nd unit to cut the spacing in half.
I have 3/4 of an acre approximately how many would it take
this product is best for coverage of conatained areas...like under a deck or arounf a shed.it for a larger area it would be more cost efficient to dig a trench and install fencing.
Hey Roxy, 3/4 of an acre in linear feet is approximately 600 feet. Each 25 pack will protect 75 feet of fence. At 600 feet that would be 8 packs. Please be sure to watch all the videos before making any purchases!
