Deer are a constant threat here in DC (Yes. The nation's capital is rampant with donkeys. elephants, and deer.) Will this protect my vegetable garden?

I think it could as long as it is put together properly. That is make sure it is anchored well and the inside velcro straps are all place.

Probably not. Walls are reinforced plastic only.A deer will probably just get it's nose under the door and come straight in.

i had the posts, so i just used them to cover my beans because i wanted to pick underneath them, but i suppose you could just lay it on top of whatever you want to protect.fyi - depending on what you are wanting to keep the deer away from, i have foundthat the weed barrier (for the ground) works the best. they can't stand walking on it, & you have abonus of no weeds, less water usage, clean product, no rot (pumpkins) & warms the soil fora product like tomatoes! ":-) i roll it up & use it year after year.

I used bamboo posts ten feet apart that have survived into their second year with no issues. Tying white flags at waist height will look like a deer fleeing so that helps repel them and you will avoid any bucks getting tangled up with their antlers. The deer will hit anything they can by us but this kept them completely out of our garden. It is fairly rigid and will not really sag if your posts don't bend. I did line the bottom foot with chicken wire as groundhogs and rabbits will bite through.

I can't say for sure. It keeps raccoons n deer out OK. Not sure if it will scare them enough to keep them away. When the ground is wet, it hurts to touch it,even worse in bare feet.

It may not keep deer out because they can technically jump over, rabbits will not be able to get thru. I use it for chickens and to keep dogs out, have had not rabbit, deer, or any other animal get into the fenced area!

I haven't noticed that deer repellent sprays keep away chipmunks. When we had a problem with chipmunks digging up a large area of our garden and uprooting/eating plants, a small animal granular repellent did work. It was either Critter Ridder or Repels-All; sorry I can't remember which one. The liquid version did nothing, but the granular form worked, perhaps because I placed some of it into each entrance hole. Good luck!

Yes! The noise this Sentinel makes will scare off animals! Place it where the plants are, pointing it forward to detect any animals.

They don't seem to go near it. For me, it just keeps the deer from eating all of our plants.

birds did alright, but the wind sure plays havoc with it. kept deer out of garden all growing season. high winds in fall caused the netting to come apart at tie downs ripping the whole attachment at top to separate. it did a good job for one season so I will use electric wire with white tags all around. friend does this all the time and has no deer problems - ron

I love using Preen. It has helped keep the weeds from growing. I have only used it in my regular garden, not where I grow vegetables. I like the answers submitted by other fellow users. It is better to be safe!

This was one of the largest, but still economical, pop up greenhouses I could find. We lifted it over some in-ground plants, then dragged in a schefflera over six ft tall, along with numerous other pots. There are in-ground stakes for stabilization. It should work unless it gets extremely hot, although it has two little air vents near the roof, and a zipper door that can be rolled up. The deer could get in the door, if not zipped.

No sure. I only see deer near my house in winter. I don't think they would get close to the garden because there is nothing left.

I'm going to say probably. Works great for deer, rabbits and small mammals. This year when I planted my blubs, which if you don't cover they get dug up, I sprayed my Deer Off in all these areas on the soil. NOTHING...came to dig them up. GREAT stuff.

Agree with the other comments. I have never hit a deer with the guard but it seems pretty tough. Depending on the velocity of the collision you might still have some damage but probably not to the point where it would disable your vehicle. One thing is for sure: the plastic grill of my old Ford didn't do much to prevent the radiator from being punched full of holes when I hit a deer with it!

I apply the granules and spray around the perimeter and down the rows between the vegetables. I am sure that I'm overly cautious. I am able to keep all animals out by doing it the way that I do. I have had great success. I have hungry oppossums, rabbits, raccoons, squirrels, mice and some critters that I do not know their names. After a heavy rain, I must repeat the procedure.

To keep raccoons, squirrels, and the like out of my garden I ran one wire abut 4-6" from the ground, hoping it might shock them if they crawled under or over it, another wire at about knee height, and a top wire at about hip height, with foil strips about a foot long, folded in half, filled with peanut butter in the crease, and wrapped over the top wire. The theory was that deer love peanut butter and go for it, resulting with a shock on their nose. I had no trouble with deer after that, and the lower wires did the job for the smaller pests. I agree that for chickens you'd either have to take the wire higher or clip one wing so that if they tried to fly, they'd just go in circles.

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.
