Fine and dandy as long as it is just for show. Fence + Rabbits = Swiss Cheese.
I purchased this fence. It arrived a bit unraveled but otherwise it was fine. I installed about 320 of the 330 feet I would guess on 60 posts. 180 zip-ties and 177 garden staples later, I figured I was good to go so I released the pups out into their new sanctuary. They did great with the boundaries and didn't touch the fence at all. One is a 60lb lab, the other is an 11lb terrier. We were out there all afternoon. Some of that time supervised, some where I watched from a distance to see if they were behaving with the new fence. All was good... that is until the sun went down. Rabbits have destroyed this fence. In about a week's time, they have made more than a dozen holes in the fence big enough that the little dog could go right through with no effort if unsupervised. The rabbits are probably making new holes out there as I type this. The description of the products states "Tenax pet fence can be used for dog runs, back yards protection and as temporary enclosure." It gives reference to "performance and strength applied to deer and animal protection" and how based on this, they offer this product for us DIYers. In no way, shape, or form does this offer any level of protection and I must say, this is the level of disappointment that just keeps on kicking you. I spent a long time measuring everything out, making sure fencing was supported and attached properly and the bottom of the fence was secure. When I saw that first rabbit hole, I figured maybe they'll be done now and just use that hole from here on out to go in and out. NOPE. Hole after hole kept showing up along the entire length. That's the moment you realize you just spend a couple hundred dollar erecting a fence that does absolutely nothing. So, got on the chat with Amazon to see what we can do to remedy this situation. The next kick came when I find out that I now get to disassemble all the fencing and figure out how I am going to be able to roll up 330 feet of rabbit ravaged fencing into a manageable roll size. Now those 180 zip ties get to be snipped and those 177 garden staples get to be pulled back up. Regardless it needs to come down as right now it's just there for show. The best advice I can give is that if you have *EVER* even seen a rabbit near your home, I'd take a hard pass on this product. If you do decide to go with this product, hopefully your time and money isn't wasted in the same fashion mine was. Overall, so supremely disappointed with the results that it is almost laughable. *Update* Amazon came through and made it right. Now I will just need to look for an alternative.
