I ran this netting along the back of two gardens, both which sit on the edge of our woods, and a time-worn deer trail. My first installation (using those 6-ft green plastic poles) was two months ago, prompting this new order. Second garden has remained untouched as well.

From what I can see, the deer just don't like the feel of this netting on their faces. They can't see it, so they don't consider jumping over it. And so far they haven't developed the logic to go around a corner - they just continue along their habitual route.

Yep, I may be back for some more -

I purchased this product to keep my dog and other animals out of my garden, without spending tons of money on chicken wire. It works great so far. We cut it in half to about 3'5" tall, then staked it with some rebar around the edges. We also used the extra to make a compost heap and cover some plants, like strawberries to keep the birds out, and build a trellis for cucumbers and peas. Very good use for the money, and much cheaper than our local garden supply store.

I placed this deer netting around my very first flower bed. I have VERY active deer in my neighborhood and most gardeners have given up. I started with this netting and it is worth every penny! All my flower beds will this netting around them. My house sits pretty far back from the street and you cannot even tell it is there. I once was coming out of an area that I have an opening with a rock to close it, and my tennis shoe got stuck in the bottom of the netting and threw me. If it works on humans, it works on deer! I would not use anything else!

I have used this netting for several months now to keep deer and cats off my vegetable and berry beds. It definitely works: the deer can't seem to see it and are irritated by the way it feels when they try to bite at the greens, and it's the same for cats (which formerly used to dig in my raised beds). An added bonus: if you keep it tight against the ground (or the side of a raised bed), it is an effective slug repellent, since they seem to feel the same as the deer and the cats. I've actually watched a slug creep up to the netting, feel it, and then turn around. All this being said, it's very frail stuff -- very easy to tear. I was walking past a bed with a hoe and accidentally snagged some of the netting, and it tore a 3' hole. Nevertheless, I would recommend it (and I'm about to buy more).

This stuff is incredibly thin. And I can't quite understand all of the great reviews, especially the ones that suggest that this stuff is easy to work with. They must have incredible patience, or weren't expecting much. (I bought a heavier version of this type netting previously, and had a pretty good idea what I was getting.) It is hard to work with (don't wear anything with buttons) because it's so light and catches on everything. I can't imagine using it for fencing - I drape it over azaleas, etc. I think it discourages the deer, because otherwise, they'd certainly be able to chew right through it. I note that nowhere on the package does it give any indication of how thick the plastic is. That's because it's almost not there.

I saw a lotta different reviews for deer netting, but only this brand came back with the best responses from customers. I can see why.

I was having tremendous deer problems with my garden, losing seedlings early in the year, when I finally went and bought this. Only took a week or so to get to me, and it was easy to install.

I too have accidentally tripped on this stuff because it's hard to see if you forget about it, but very strong. You can rip it if you get it caught and yank really hard on it, but that's to be expected. If a deer or other large animal comes across this netting, it's gonna back away and move along elsewhere.

Great product; haven't had a single deer problem since I installed it.

Easy to use and works well. Keeps deer out or our vegetable garden. Virtually invisible until you are close to it.

Spent 3 days surrounding my one acre property with this net. It stops deer. But dumb turkeys blast right through it. Had to dismantle the whole setup and replace it with welded wire fencing.

Deer season is over and the old bird netting that I strung around the garden worked pretty well to keep deer from eating the garden goodies. It didn't work as well as a real fence but it was cheap. I'm hoping that the deer netting will be a little sturdier than the bird netting and that critters (dogs, raccoons? deer?) will not tear holes in it as easily. This netting does not appear to be made of thicker material but it is a "square-hole" netting rather than the "diamond-hole" bird netting so I'm hopeful.

I was skeptical at first but after putting this up, I have had NO issues with deer getting into my garden. Its almost invisible which is great but at the same time its a little flimsy. No matter though, there is PLENTY of it for my needs and its very inexpensive.
