will it handle chilren shaking the fence
1653111
We have ours stretched out as a fence with half of it straight and half zig-zagged, crossing a room, anchored to two walls. Our 19-mo-old son REALLY likes to grab it in the middle with both fists and shove it back and forth. A lot. With his whole bodyweight. It slides back and forth across the Berber carpet, because the plastic-toothed joints aren't industrial quality and do have some give to them in the middle of the fence no matter how you tighten them, when it's stretched out like this. However, having him treat it like that for a few months, now, doesn't seem to have worn or bent anything yet (I just keep having to reposition and tighten the fence every few days)...

I don't think this fence is a good choice for you if children will be shaking it!

My son jumps up and down trying to shake the fence when he has temper tantrums. It holds up just fine. That said, ours is cable-tied down to rubber mats (link below). I highly recommend this solution, as in addition to shaking, many kids try to move the walls of these things and can move the entire pen around the room. The mats are also good for softening falls and barf clean up. Wonder Mat Non Toxic Extra Thick Mats (4 Set), Gray, 2' x 2'

Yes, thats what I use mine for and there is no shaking of the table at all. VERY sturdy!

It's a long piece, rolled into a cylinder, and the wire is not very stiff, so you may have trouble sticking it into hard soil. I ended up buying a few of the "Origin Point 052410 Gard'n Border Round Folding Fence", which is a stiffer wire and divided into several pieces.

Technically Yes, with 4 ****, which means practically NO. The fence is one solid piece of aluminum, with two separate blocks of MDF (one on the Left of the bit, one on the right side) which are replaceable) There are two very small Ultra high density plastic/graphite rods about 1/8" diameter, that can be inserted into channels machined into the fence. The out feed amount is set -- you get only 2 options, and the amount is almost none. Less time and work to simply put a shim on the front of the infeed side. This model PRS2000 has a terrible fence design -- knuckle buster, and doesn't sit perpendicular on the table. PRS2100 is a better stronger table and they re-did the fence, after so many complaints.

It is ready, does not have to be shaken. Just press the button. But if there is the least bit wind, it will blow back on you.I used it on a dog and it worked well.

It will work great, but if your neighbors are to close they will complain. I sometimes turn it on in my garage and it shakes the whole house.

I just shook mine and I didn't hear a rattle. Shouldn't be too much of a problem as long as it works.

I don't think it will work. Not sure the unit has enough power to "signal" an entire chain link fence.

I really do not think it would, seams very stable and sets up quickly with almost no effort. I think it needs only moderate supervise for safe use!

It will shake every thing in the room if you adjust it to do so.I run two of them but I adjust them so they do not rattle my windows and other items.

We mounted it to our patio structure, no problems, no vibrations. Like TimmyD-007 mentioned, we used a stronger bolt. We also hard wired so we can switch them on easier. We have one in each corner. They worked so well we bought 4 for our business!

Hi Robert L., I don't know but the box says shockproof and waterproof and from the construction it seems sturdy enough. Solid aluminum construction and mount. There's nothing that will rattle or shake.

The part of the pole that is designed to go into the concrete is only about 4" long. The fence would not be stable in the grass.

Yes it can but you must re-square the fence every time you switch sides. A real pain.

It delivers enough shock to deter animals but will not physically injure anyone that touches it. Kids will probably only make the mistake of touching it once. It delivers a pulse shock, not a constant shock. It will give anyone shocked a break to pull away.

We had this product installed and it did not work for us -- unfortunately. We had a handyman make our gate less wide and now it doesn't sag. I doubt it would work well for any type fence considering our experience with it.

The box is heaver than most and unless hit by the plow it should be able to take the punishment. It really does depend on how the base is constructed
