Just how flimsy is this netting? Can it stand, relatively, on its own or is it more like deer netting?

It will need support as it does seem somewhat flimsy, but I believe it will do the job. I have my posts 9 ft apart. I'm not sure of the effectiveness yet, nothing is growing in my garden yet.

I haven't received it yet, but will let you know what it is like after I get it!Take Care,Joell

Answer here...I have 7ft posts every roughly 6ft and I left it up all winter. I am in cental ny snow country. My only down side to it is the 2in size. Small bunnies can get through it. Worked well against deer trying to jump over it

It does a great job keeping my chickens inside. I have a post every ten or twelve feet for support. I'm pleased.

It will hold a shape. It would probably stand on its own but it will need supported. It is made out of wire.

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.

Here, it doesn't keep the deer out (at all) but probably fine for chickens. Also, probably light enough to be stretched OVER the chicken pen as well (keeping hawks out).

Yes. And it's more fabric-like and drapes easily (as well as folds easily for storage at the end of the season). We've had ours for 3 seasons so far and it is still good as new. I really like this netting unlike the one I had previously, which was the typical annoying black plastic 1/2" x 1/2" netting that catches everything from birds to your shoelaces and was impossible to fold up and put away at the end of the season.

It's pretty wimpy fabric. I just use it to remind my dog not to go into the garden. She (13 lb dog) could knock it down if she wanted.

It is not very strong, but I am using it to keep birds out of our vineyard, and it does the job. I can reuse it 1 year. At the price it is a whole lot better than regular bird netting. One section will tear easily, but overall it holds up will for my purpose.

Moths I would doubt-----birds,etc. yes. The netting has 1" "holes", more or less. Pretty good "stuff".

I don't know, as that isn't an issue here, but it is a very nice, flexible, strong fabric,and should hold up against critters pretty well.

I agree with David. It looks from the weight that the #6050 DeerBlock Netting is lighter, more like bird netting. The Deer Barrier Fencing is made of much thicker plastic, making the overall roll heavier. Other than some gaps made by weed whackers and rabbits (which can chew through this), this is very durable and tough fencing.I eventually added 1" mesh metal chicken wire (18" high) at ground level to thwart the rabbits and mowing service and save the deer fence. The wire extends about a foot up, and the bottom of the plastic deer fence overlaps it on the outside starting about 6" off the ground. I agree with David.

I have not left this outside, but it is easy to break down and set up. The net will compact onto one 3foot aluminum segment. I have had other nets. None compare to this.

Mine came with mosquito netting when it arrived. There are holes in the base for stakes or screws. As others have said, the instructions are a bit sparse but we managed ok with a little 'pondering' on each step of the assembly.

I don't use this for a pond but....When this net arrived I was worried about it holding up against twigs and other sharp objects. I have used this for almost a yeat and it shows no sign of wear. If I lost it, I would buy another as soon as possible. Basically, if you can see it floating on the water, however small, this will remove it. The only downsided is it's size. It is only 14 inches across and I would like it to be a bit longer. Perhaps they are making a larger one now.

It seems quite secure. We put bug repellant sticker. Also the net did not let any in. We only used the tent once so far and liked it.

The quality of the netting is real good, what will make it work best is how you support it. The weight of apples might be too much if they are not removed often. Check their website, they may have other sizes or weights that might work better.

The deerblock netting is quite lightweight. I used it for a year, then had to replace it, as it was torn in several places, though I am still using some as bird netting over a blueberry patch. The Deer Barrier fencing has been up for 2 years now (on two gardens), and is still in perfect condition. Netting: light weight and less endurance. Easier to install (bends like fabric). Barrier fencing: heavy weight -- should last 5 years with no problems. Harder to install, but quite reasonable to do so if poles are plumb, with a level mark on them. We have a constant deer population, and the gardens are well protected with this.

I do not think that a deer would knock this over. It is sturdy, if put in the ground solidly. I do not have any deers but do have raccoons and they do not bother it.

This is a polyethylene net. I had it up for three month now and don't see any signs of damage ( deer had been chewing on my arborvitae and shrobs during the same time every wenter).
