Tenax Deer Fence C-Flex Select 6'x100' Black

This is a thicker & larger-size mesh that works great for keeping the deer away from our magnolias. I'm guessing that it will last several years. If so, I won't ever need to replace it (the trees will be big enough to withstand browsing by then). The mesh-size is big enough that you can thread it over a typical T fencepost. So, you don't need very many zip ties to hold it in place. I used 8 ft. T posts & this is taller than the posts, after the posts are driven in. If you use wire (vs. zip ties) at the overlap post, then you can easily get in/out to deal with weeds that grow up, or to treat fire ant mounds, or ....The thinner stuff also works, but needs to be replaced & worries me that it could trap birds, or at least would be a problem for them (because they can't easily see it). This stuff is so thick, I don't think it's a problem for the birds. We planted 4 (6 ft.) magnolias in early spring & have nests in two of them.

We put it under some pretty major tension to get it taught, and it has held up fine so far. Time will tell if it's durable enough to hold the tension for years and not degrade. I'll update when that time comes. A bit expensive for what it is though

Was easy to set up, got a lot of area fenced in one day. I used a tensioned wire on the top between the posts and secured the fencing net to it.

Summary=======The product I received was exactly what I expected based on the photo and description. Sorry to see that some of the other reviewers did not get what they expected.All of the similar products I have seen at the home improvement stores and garden centers were either made from much thinner plastic or had much smaller openings in the mesh.Appearance==========The product is attractive as far as fencing goes. It is nearly charcoal black with a semi-gloss shine to it. Because it is much heavier than netting and has large mesh openings it looks substantial and well made.Durability==========Although i have only had this for a few months I rate the durability high. The plastic is thick and after a full summer in the sun shows no signs of sun damage. Also, the local deer regularly eat the leaves and vegetables that poke through the netting and yet they have not damaged it in any way.Use===This is a great product for wrapping an enclosed garden; it is attractive, durable, and substantial enough to not stretch or wrinkle easily. The 7.5' x 100' dimensions made it large enough to reach the top of my garden walls and wrap around without any seams. I built an enclosed garden using the frame from a  ShelterLogic 12 x 26- Feet Canopy 2- Inch 5-Rib Frame, Tan Cover  and this fencing.I would not consider this a substitute for steel field fencing, it really serves a different purpose. It is great for wrapping gardens or using as a temporary or semi-permanent fence. It is much lighter than steel, yet much heavier than thin mesh netting.Recommendation==============I am happy with my purchase and would buy this product again.

2018 update My garden grew and I got chased out by bears a couple of times so we engaged a professional company to put in sturdy posts and we used more Tenax C fence. As other reviewers noted, this stuff sags. The professionals put a bar across the top and put hog rings to hold the fence. In a few areas we have a cable with hog-rings rather than a bar. The original roll is still in use! We have used it to protect new plants in reforestation projects. Having been cut, moved, cut and moved, etc. for three years it is still in perfect condition. It survived last winter with over 200" of snow and several winters of 20 below temperatures. This stuff is rad. The bear has not tried to break through although I figure it could if it wanted. Bambi did shimmy under once but when my spouse and she had a surprise meeting over his morning coffee-stroll in the garden, she could not bust though and had to remember how to shimmy under. We subsequent locked down the fence by extending a 2 ft section onto the ground, pointing outward.Original Review: What can I say. The venerable tenax deer fence fenced out my deer just as it is supposed to and does successfully for so many people. I had a lighter weight similar fence before but I knew Bambi would not stay on the other side of it once my garden produce appeared. I bought this for the 600 lb test. It is not as "invisible" as I would desire but it really is not visible at a distance. I have mine anchored to trees and an arbor that is the entrance to my garden so it fits into the environment without tall poles. When I look at it from the road you cannot see the fence. When I am inside of the garden I can see that I am in a fence. Still, the view is nice. We have bear as well as deer and I joke that the tenax is strong enough to keep the deer out and strong enough that I would have just enough time to holler really loud if a bear wanted in.

Excellent quality and very strong fencing. Used to put around a deer plot and garden area. Deer have stayed out and the fence was easy to install. Very lightweight and easy to handle. Cuts quickly with scissors.

The deer in our area munch and destroy the first 5 feet of any cedar hedge . This net is perfect and covers just the right height. I is very strong but very workable .

Exactly what I needed. Light enough for wind to blow through, but strong enough to keep my dogs in.

Keeps the deer out

this is a really good product when you can buy it

I needed to put a fence up to keep deer out. I found the Tenax Fencing to be surprisingly strong and lightweight. Used metal T posts and tie wraps worked great and went up quick.Also once up the fencing is almost invisible until you get right up to it. I only require the fence during the winter months but I'm likely going to leave it up year round because of how inconspicuous it is.Would definitely purchase the product again if required.
