Will this also work to keep deer out of my garden?

Hi, Denise. Yes, I think this is really made for larger animals. You will just want to make sure you ground it as directed. I am only using it for squirrels, so I am using one small copper ground rod and a single strand of fence wire. You will want to do 5 ground rods that are driven pretty deep (6' I believe). See the packaging for spacing. I don't know if you know this or not, but you will need the solar unit, the fence wire, mounts, grounding rods (with grounding clamps), and insulated wire to link the solar unit to the grounding rods. I didn't know this at the time of purchase and had to go track the things down once I received the unit. Good luck! Hi, Denise. Yes, I think this is really made for larger animals.

Yes it will work for deer but remember they can jump high and duck under so you will need to string different heights and you only need one grounding rod. There are instructions in the package that it comes in.

It keeps Bears out of my bee yards so deer is not going to be a problem IMHO.

It is rated for small pets. I returned this because it wasn't rated for horses (and, the item listing originally wasn't marked correctly). So, I'm not so sure it would keep a deer out. T-posts & field fencing will.

I really don't know anything about deers except that they can jump very high.

Yes, it worked for me. We have several game cameras on our property and saw tons of deer, but never had a problem in the garden.

Absolutely! It's a powerful device but you must have a wire(s) close enough, low enough, or high enough for the intruders to come in contact with if they're of the mind to get into your pond. Look up on youtube how to install an e-fence. Very easy! It's the only (and I mean ONLY) thing that's ever kept deer out of my garden.

I think it would work to confine your cat, but if you have concerns about a predator animal attacking the cat, I don't think this netting would protect it. It did seem to be very effective though this past summer in preventing deer from raiding my small veggie garden. I would be very careful at first to make sure the cat didn't freak out and entangle itself in the material as the other commenter described. I could see where certain cats could do this.

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.

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.

It will for sure. I have coyotes that come to my house too, and I keep a crossbow just in case they get too close to my animals too.

My experience says it won't keep anything away. The deer stroll right up and eat my fuchsias. The squirrels still dig holes in my garden and planters. As for birds, they still empty the bird feeder three feet away from the unit.

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.

Yes I have used it in my ground blind, and it worked very well. As best as I've been able to tell, it hasn't ever spooked any deer.

It will work find laying on its side. I use them regularly that way in my deer feeders.

Yep it sure will. I have mine placed in my flower bed to keep my dog out of it and every since I got this, my dog hasn't gone into my flower bed once. If you have more than 1 dog, each dog would need to have a collar on in order to keep them out of the area you don't want them going in to.

No, I bought it for deer, they jumped right in the middle, took off dragging the netting, too light for deer, they walked right through it. Did not work for me.

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.

Hello. I purchased this unit to drive strays from my backyard. (Which didn't work by the way). There aren't any deers, squirrels or chipmunks where I live so I'm unable to comment. But according to the yard sentinel website, this device is designed to repel both domestic and wild animals.

I believe so. We have our unit positioned far from our house along a lengthy driveway and it detects someone walking by or animal (deer) movement.

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.

I have 2 units in the yard and after a year I have not seen any deer in the yard. They seem to make a beeline around it. No other critters either. But birds stay around. Give it months to be effective. The animals need to be "trained" to stay away.
