I bought this because I was being "frugal"--I didn't want to pay the $56 plus shipping for the heavier weight material option--and now I'm sorry.

Although this might do the trick, while I was putting it up it was tearing, just by my pulling on it a little bit. As my confidence in this product is slim I'm probably going to cost myself more in the end by now buying the more expensive option anyway. Bottom line, I don't want the anguish of putting in a garden, letting it mature and ripen beautifully, only to find that deer have gotten in and eaten everything in one dawn escapade. It's worth the extra bucks (pardon the pun) up front.

I really like this product. We had a problem with the deer eating the tomato plants in our vegie garden. We got the deer block last year and it did the trick! We enlarged the garden this year and set in posts for the deer block, we put in a gate and it has worked great, no bunnies eating the lettuce either!! You can hardly see it and in the last two years nothing, such as birds or butterflies have gotten caught in it. So far it has done the job!Deer Block

I think this product is unfit for the purpose for which it is being sold. It is very flimsy & tears very easily. I can't imagine it could keep anything out. Our dog knocked into it, it tore. The wind alone tore it from the posts. Numerous huge tears have appeared, cause unknown. A complete waste of money. We shall need to replace with something more substantial. Thus far we have had to repare at least once per day.

This is a good product if you're fighting the backyard battle of man
against the critters. I use it the way it comes,which is folded in half,
which makes it 40 inches high, enough to keep out most deer and rabbits
who are looking to make your garden their next meal. put some wooden
stakes about six feet apart and use a staple gun to secure to stakes, or
you can just throw it over some plants if you're lazy. You could use the full 7 foot height if you don't mind the 'maximum security' look. Usually, the pests,
excuse me, our furry friends, will just move on to your neighbors yard
where there are easier pickings...except, when those juicy,red tomatoes
start ripening in August...at that point I'd recommend an AK-47.

Bought as a deer barrier but this is so flimsy, it is nothing more than bird netting

Bought it to keep rabbits out of vegetable garden. Split it in half to go around a 20'x60' ground level garden. Just step over to get in and out of garden. It is sort of hard to handle because it is rather light weight, unruly, and snags easily on things. I used tee posts about every 20' and tied with tie wraps. I left about a 6 inch "skirt" on the ground, turned it to the outside of the fence and weighted it with bricks. Dogs run into it. Grandkids run into it. Two snakes and a Texas spiny lizard got caught in it and died. One cottontail found an unsecured spot but it was generally effective in keeping rabbits out. I plan to buy more this year.

UPDATE: I bought more. Had to take it down. Rabbits just cut holes in it (and the patches I made)and came and went at will. I've watched them come and go. Did catch and kill another spiny lizard, however. It was not effective for me and kills things I don't want killed. Replaced it with metal wire rabbit fence.

I would like to hear from someone who has bought the DuPont product like this. The packaging looks the same and the 7*100ft is the same. I have used the DuPont Deer Netting for probably 10 years with complete success. The local supplier is suppose to be Lowes, but more and more they do not have it available. The Lowes price was around $13 for the same amount. I do not use it as a fence, but wrap it around individual shrubs or groups of shrubs that have grown together, on one side of our house that the deer always come to in the winter. The first year I used plastic twist ties to hold it together (like for garbage bags), but these did not hold up. I now use very small wire, probably 30awg or smaller, that is typically used for crafts. This cost me around $2 for a large roll that has lasted me for years. I agree with some reviewers that it would not work well for fencing, but wrapped around shrubs, is is great.

I do not try to reuse it the next year. It is very thin and clings to itself due to the microscopic barbs on the netting. Also, the shrubs will grow the next season making it difficult to fit the prior year netting.

It is flimsy. But stretched between posts it does a good job of keeping out rabbits, deer and any other pest.
For a fence that won't cost you an arm and a leg, this is worth the money.

Never had a problem with it tearing.

This netting was easy to install. After only 3 days of installation I have seen a difference in my garden. The deer are no longer eating the tops of my tomato plants as well as all the flowers of my zucchinis. The bunnies haven't figured out how to get in, so this product has saved my vegetable garden.

I live in the Pikes Peak region in the mountains. The deer are a royal pain. Last year we bought some of the deer block netting and laid it down with stakes over all our perrenials. The deer would just move the rocks and push the netting aside. So this year we extended one side of our deck higher and had a tent over our gardens. It has been two days since our project completion. The first night the deer tore the areas where we twistied the netting together. Last night they not only tore holes through other areas where there were twisties, but they also chewed right through several other areas as well. This product is worthless and will not prevent the deer from eating your gardens. Wish I never bought it for my garden project. Now I am researching for something that actually will prevent the deer from chewing through it in order to save our garden. (P.S. I also use all sorts of sprays, and sprinkle deer repellant as well.)
