DEER-RESISTANT LANDSCAPE NRSRY

I used their products; they shipped us a deer fence for our backyard. They didn’t come out, It’s a do it ourselves thing. I used their website and then I e-mailed them. The only compliant I have about the whole thing was that there was a tool that we rented from them to use to clap some rings; that tool didn’t work very well. Other than that it was great. I would rate the highly across the board. I’m hoping that as there’s deer fence I’m not going to need them in the future as they last a long time.

We are not generally "do-it yourselfers". This was a BIG project for us. Took us about 7-8 hrs to complete. The written instructions and viewing YOU TUBE video (deerbusters) was helpful in coming up with the order of installation. 1. Corner posts--- we used an existing tree as one of our corner posts. we bought pressure treated 10" foot posts for the corner posts. We needed fence staples (not included) to secure the deer fence to the tree and used 2 cable ties together to go around the posts. We cemented them into the ground. Gate posts: be sure to put on the hinges BEFORE you cement them into the ground. (We almost goofed here.) 2. Monofilament wires-- we installed them both at the bottom and at the top of our deer fence. You definitely need monofilament at the top. May not need monofilament at the bottom but it helps. 3. Post sleeves and posts- easy to use with the drive cap. 2 of our posts were a foot shorter than the rest but we used them anyway. (Monofilament important at the top at these spots) 4.The deer fence unwound easily with 2 -3 people helping. We cable tied fence to the posts. We put the rodent fence INSIDE the deer fence, bent the drape length UNDER the deer fence and monofilament wire and hog ringed the deer fence, rodent fence and monofilament together at the bottom. We hog ringed the rodent fence at the top to the deer fence. You will need wire clippers (not included) to cut rodent and deer fence. 5. We staked the deer fence with 12 inch heavy kinked stakes and used the 6 inch ground stables to secure the draped rodent fence. I had to order more ground stakes since it seems more secure to put a ground stake every inch or two. (NOTHING IS SLITHERING UNDER THIS FENCE!) BIGGEST FRUSTRATION with the whole project: the RENTED STANLEY HOG RINGER: this tool worked horribly. difficult to use. each ring had to be manually positioned in the ringer before crimping. we tried everything to get it to work properly. wasted a lot of C rings.This tool probably added 2 hrs to the project time. Wish there was an easier way to attach C (hog) rings.
