Deer Repellent - Tree Guard, Tree Guard Pretreated Trees, Plantskydd, Deer Net Fence

Tree Guard | Pretreated Seedlings | Plantskydd | Deer Net Fence

TREE GUARD^TM with Bitrex^TM is a proven deer browse deterrent. It is lightly sprayed on seedlings, shrubs, ornamentals, hedges and flowers to produce a lingering nasty taste that animals do not like.

The bitter tasting Bitrex^TM is locked into the plant surface forming a "protective jacket" which resists dew, snow, rain and vaporization. One quart can covers 250-400 seedlings, one gallon - approximately 1000 seedlings. Not a concentrate - ready to go! Tree Guard^TM does not wash off, it adheres with a single application and continues to protect through all kinds of weather.

Research continues to show TREE GUARD^TM as one of the most effective deer browse deterrents on the market today. Browse repellent may discolor flowers if applied to open bloom.

DEER NET FENCE that will keep Deer OUT!
Very cost effective, simple to install and will last years.

Fencing is the only long term solution for controlling deer browsing. This deer net fence is significantly less expensive than electric and steel wire deer fences and it is easy to install and maintain. Its ¾ inch knit polypropylene mesh net diamonds allow for expansion both lengthwise and vertically while maintaining a tight fence. Mounted vertically, it is UV treated to withstand years of exposure to the elements. The green and yellow banding blends into the background so it is less offensive to look at, and yet with the yellow bands is obvious enough so people can avoid it.
It is a sure effective way to exclude deer year round.	DEER NET FENCE: An inexpensive super flexible netting that deters deer. It can be used to protect: Plantations Crops Orchards Christmas Tree Plantations Gardens In the woods as deer ex-closers to allow natural regeneration to become established To develop good wildlife habitat Any other sensitive area that you want to keep deer out
	Easy to install and lightweight, just attach to a top and bottom rope run between trees or posts around the perimeter of the protected area. Ties, twine, or hog rings hold the netting to the rope and staples hold the net to the ground. We prefer the hog rings as they allow for the fence to adjust on the rope easier than ties and twine and they are much faster to install.
	We suggest mounting the top rope 6 to 8 ft above ground and using major poles every 100 to 120 ft or at change of direction. In between major posts, prop poles (similar to cloths line prop poles) are used to keep fence at the desired 6 to 8 ft height. These prop poles are spaced 12 to 18 ft apart. Since the netting has diamond openings, we suggest securing to top rope every 20 to 30 inches – giving the top a scallop look. This will allow the netting to open fully. The running distance should be mounted at approximately 30 to 40 percent less on the rope, i.e. 3 running feet of fence will be attached on fence at 25 inches or so. Note: one edged of the fence is bound in a yellow boarder, the other edge is not. We prefer to put the bound edge at the top.
	The fence is pulled under the bottom rope, which is tied and stretched between the major posts, which then is stapled to the ground every 2 ft (more at corners. The remaining fencing then folded up and either secured directly to the fence or a middle rope with hog rings, twine or ties – thus giving the bottom 2 to 4 feet a double layer. This makes it very tough for deer to push their way through the fence. See our pictures. If you have any questions please give us a call or drop us an e-mail.

1000 ft $370.00

Note: length will vary depending on how the fence is laid out. If the diamond mesh is stretched to elongate the diamonds the fence will cover more length but will not cover the full 8.5 ft. height. . Conversely if the diamonds are stretched vertically, not as much length will be covered, but it can reach more than 8 ft in height.

If you only want 500 ft or 250 ft we will determine the length by weight and hence the length may vary somewhat.
