Need to keep deer out of our 50' x 50' garden. Is this kit large enough?

This unit is small, I have a 25 x 12 garden and it works fine for that. It keeps woodchucks and rabbits away. I don't know if it would keep deer out.

No. Deer will hop this in an instant. This fence is for small to medium dogs. Cats will hop it too. The only way to keep deer out of a garden is to put up a 6' fence... all around. And if so inclined deer will hop that too. The orchards here use 8' fences to keep deer out.

In my personal experience, poles were used to support the netting and it worked perfectly to keep the deer away from precious plants. As a matter of fact, they no longer frequent my yard. The poles I used had raised notches on them which allowed the mesh to just latch onto them without the use of any ties or hardware.

this is pretty thin though i do not think it would last against deer.we had some heavier .I thought this was the same but is notthis would only be good to keep birds off your berries

Where I live, I don't have a deer problem, so I don't know whether this would deter them or not. Will they chew through plastic? The greenhouse I bought is 6 feet high at the highest point, 5 feet from front to back, and 4 feet wide, so if your trees aren't bigger than that, they should fit, but you would have to anchor the sides well enough that the deer couldn't get their noses under the sides. If the greenhouse isn't well anchored, a deer (or the wind) could tip it over.

with a longer bolt and broadhead tips u can probly bring down a deer with a clean shot from close range..but this is mainly for small game...squirrels and rabbits and whatnot

You're in luck. My ex-girlfriend is a deer biologist. I texted her and asked if an electric fence designed to keep dogs out of gardens would work against deer and she texted back that yes, it should work for deer.

Label says, "Protects up to 5,400 sq. feet." Recommendations include sprinkling liberally, visibly covering the ground in a 1" wide strip around the entire group of bed of plants to be protected. For overly aggressive deer activity, increase to a 24" wide strip and apply heavier. We have found just a light sprinkling will do the job for us. It smells good to people. Nice product.

I used one with great results and I own 3+ acres. Just place one trao away from your 800 sq foot garden as so you don't attract beetles to your garden. One will work but you can use two.

I hope it works for you. I think it looks nice. I have a 50 foot hose in mine, and there is room for a lot more.

I am currently trying it for rabbits ... doesn't seem to be keeping them out of my garden.Also, be aware it is very stinky and red in color so it will stain.

You will need a ladder. My hedge is about the same and the product works fine, but to cover an area that large you have to be at the same height as the top of the hedge.

I would say half inch by half inch, but there is the possibility of the pellets clogging the hole eventually, I use cracked corn for deer and it works great.

I would suggest 4 traps for half an acre. The most important put them as far as possible from what you want to protect.

The unit states that it can handle up to 5 acres. The amount of wire included will cover a perimeter of a 100' X 150' if you have access to a sheltered outlet along the perimeter. If you expand beyond that, you will need more 20 ga. solid copper wire, usually sold in 500' lengths. The kit contains splicers to help extend with additional wire. You will also need more flags as it currently contains barely enough for the 100X150 perimeter as it is.

No. At best the deer would become tangled in the netting, and rip it to part. At worst you'd be call fish and wildlife to have the creature put down. The weight of this netting just wasn't designed for that application. It is quite effective for swallows and robins which is what my problem was; so long is it is supported by some sort of bracing or frame if you're running long lengths of it. Try one of the products specifically for deer and you might be O.K.

Yes, but you will need to wieght it down like I do. I love mine. If you have trees near by you can put a peice of wire mesh in front of it to keep the big stuff out

I stuck one in my front yard and it appears to be keeping them all away (from the front) and we've got both moles and gophers. However, it says that it can do up to 7500 sq. feet but I'd recommend getting a few and making them overlap. The one that I've got in my front yard doesn't do anything for the back yard and it's not a large yard by any means.
