***PLEASE DO NOT ADD THESE GUARDS TO YOUR CART UNLESS YOU ARE PLANNING TO PICK UP LOCALLY. I AM NOT CURRENTLY SHIPPING METAL PLANT PROTECTION FENCES.***
There are a few factors that will really help guarantee the success of your plantings. One is protecting your plants. If you are concerned about deer, rabbit, or vole pressure, these metal fence kits will offer great protection.
Metal is durable and reusable, so you can continue to use these guards for years to protect many different plants. I also like these metal guards because they allow for almost full light and airflow to the plant. The only downside is sometimes woody plants can rub against the top lip of the guard.
The vole guards are 18 inches tall. The openings are small enough that they will protect against young rabbits and voles, which are the true killers of trees.
The deer rings are made from metal fencing that is 5 feet tall, and has openings that are 2 inches by 4 inches. The large openings make these rings fairly transparent, you can really see your plants through them which is great if you plan to have the guards up for a long time. They are also not unsightly if you live in a neighborhood. This will stop deer browse and will stop adult rabbits from going through the fence (but not underneath!). These deer rings won’t stop voles.
