how far from the objective (fruit tree or vegetable garden) can this be and still work.

The description on Amazon.com states a coverage area of 915 sq. ft., but the manufacture also states to place the unit as close to the problem area as you can for maximum effectiveness. I use my unit to control fly-through underneath a deck and it has worked very well. It would also appear that birds no longer fly within 15 ft. or so straight out from the unit, but I would have difficulty in claiming an exact, effective distance. Hope this helps.

I have 3 to work with , so I spread them out ranging from 5 to 10 ft. Different angle.

The birds must fly closely to item it seems.... I had to put in 6 of the machines in my car port area to cover the whole space... They were nesting in certain places and I put them about a foot away, solving the problem...... He worked with me selling at a discount due to 6 items... They do work but I think the proximity must be close. I also had beams that might have made it necessary to put them close to the problem.....

Your most likely too far away from your subject. You need to be within about 1 inch.

No it will not work. If it has a true line of site it will work, but near line of site will not.

I did not test for distance, but I would estimate it to be up to 25 feet.THE BIG PLUS for this device is that it eliminated false actuations from blowing shrubbery etc.

You don't indicate how close these trees are to the intended location. If you a putting it on a building, be sure to aim the sensor down. The are sensor blocks (small plastic strips) included with the light to block off motion area from affecting the sensor. We have an evergreen about 20 ft tall adjacent to the driveway and even with our high wind, the sensor is not affected. Sometimes you have to do a fair amount of fine tuning when you install any sensor light. We bought this one because it appeared to be able to sense motion even if mounted pretty high, higher than most other sensor lights sold. It is mounted about 23 feet up over our garage doors. It works perfectly everytime, but it did take time to fine tune the sensitivity and directional aiming of the sensor.

For it to be effective, it needs to be really close. Therefore, no. If you hold the unit far enough back to reach all areas, it will compromise the effectiveness.

It's not as far as it says. I've use it out about 25 yards or so. It must be off the ground for the remote to pick it up also. It works good for the price though.

i have used it about 12 feet away and it worked fine. It will go further then that.

Yes it work but I have no idea the distance I can do it from about 6' or so.

Hey Buddy, Both of mine worked from over 50 feet away. Depending on the terrain, i usually get anywhere from 25-40 feet all the time. A great buy for the money. I am very pleased. Be safe.

This is probable more than you want to know, but here goes. Any higher and it is not going to be very workable as a garden. I would suggest netting But if you want it higher you could lay a base of cinder blocks under the entire thing. In addition, I attended a workshop on Square foot planting. It was very informative and very applicable to this garden. You can get a book on it at Amazon. One of the things the speaker mentioned that with sq. foot planting you do not need as much dirt as this takes, depth wise. I was thinking of putting cinder blocks on the inside so it will take less soil, except in a section for carrots and potatoes. They require deeper planting.

Sorry, I've never tried that so I can't give you a definitive answer. I would certainly not count on it. It works fine if you're inside or outside but from inside to outside implies distance and windows. I've used it outside at a distance of about 30 feet / 10 yards/meters and had no problems.

My plant work is near the 50' recommended limit for 12AWG. But frankly, I wouldn't be concerned about extending it (which I have). This is not a continuous running tool.

I am not sure how close that you can put this light to a plant.I have my light 24" away from my plants and they are thriving.

I have it set about 20 yards and it works perfectly. I would imagine it would work further then that.....easliy.

Not much if its farther than 2 or 3 inches away dont expect much to be honest

Don't think it goes that far. This little device is clever but it's hard to use if you don't firmly root it in the ground...it moves all over the place. At the top of the spray, I'd GUESS it's about 20 feet.
