Mike - thanks
Wow! you have quite a barrier - triple layer - chain link, chicken wire and electric netting.
Reminds me of the Berlin wall before it fell
I plan on trying the netting first - hoping I won’t have to resort to a full fence or land mines…
More like the $128.00 peach.
From what I see, your project is not far off either.
But, ahhh! … don’t you just love the pleasure when a plan comes together.
Hmm… Maybe an idea for a t.v. series catch phrase in there somewhere.
Sometimes I wonder if I haven’t taken the concept of “millions for defense but not a penny for tribute” too far…
nah!
Mike
Thanls
That appears to be exactly what I need. I have possum, armadillo,raccoon, squrriel, and bear. Don’t know if that’ll deter the bear but I’m betting it will the other critters…The Versa Net…
My neighbor with electric fence experience convinced me to try it in order to save what’s left of my peaches.
After trapping and deporting two possums the damage had decreased but I still go out every morning to find one or two fruit gnawed on the tree. Squirrels? Rats? Whatever it is the fence (4 wires, 5 inches apart, starting on the ground with alternating polarity) is not stopping it
Steve, it would help if you could set up a game camera. It helps not only to know what is getting to your fruit, but how.
Here is a link to the thread of my completed orchard electric fence. Happy with the results, pretty much keeps all the fruit stealing varmints out:
