These fence kits have two separate layers of fencing that need to be spliced together with multiple fence ties or with hogrings using a hogringer hand tool. They also don't include a metal bottom wire base for chewing protection.
As an option in this fence kit, you can choose a fence mesh formulated with Bitterfence® anti-chew additive. Bitterfence® combines the properties of traditional poly deer fence with additives as a chew deterrent. These additives are captured in the polymer itself to protect the fence from chewing.
No-Climb fence kit notes: These fence kits are engineered to exclude or contain animals that climb. A great example of an application is for cat or dog containment. These kits contain adjustable solid steel extenders that slide over and mount on the top of support posts, creating a canopy that animals aren't able to climb over. The height of the fence kit includes the post extender. For example, an 8-foot fence kit has a 7-foot finished height above ground posts, while the post extender raises the overall height to 8 feet above ground. The highest point is the top of the post extender.
Notes:
Posts are round galvanized inside and out, then black powder-coated. No-dig sleeves are heavily galvanized inside and out for extremely long life. Ground sleeves go into the ground 30 inches. The finished height of the fence posts is the height above ground (for example, an 8-foot finished height is 8 feet above the ground once the sleeve is installed and the post has been set into the sleeve).
All posts with ground sleeves can be installed permanently or made removable. No-dig ground sleeves get driven into the ground with a sledgehammer. Posts then slide inside the sleeve and lock in with a locking set screw (patent pending). To remove posts for seasonal protection or to move your fence:
1) Cut fence ties holding fence to posts
2) Roll up fencing
3) Slide post up out of sleeve
To make posts permanent, tighten the locking set screw in each sleeve to prevent the post from spinning or coming up out of the post.
For rocky or heavily compacted ground, we suggest using a San Angelo digging bar to pilot the hole for sleeves. You can also use a powered or hammer drill with our unique sleeve auger bit.
Tensioning & Tensioning Kit Notes:
Tensioning the above fence kit is optional. All of our fencing has structure; after unrolling the fence material, it will reasonably stand up on its own. With the proper post spacing allocated in each kit, the fence material won't sag. Other fencing types, unlike our high-quality products, are similar to soccer netting or flat strand fencing. With those materials, unless you pull them up, they will fall back down.
If you decide to add a tension cable, here's what we suggest. Use the tension kit upgrade option in the kit dropdown menu above. We will ship you the right amount of post cable collars, tension cable, and Gripple tensioning connectors for the kit you're ordering. This provides enough cable and hardware to do two cable positions, usually at the top and either:
1) Where the bottom wire meets the top fencing [if applicable]
2) At 30" for additional support against animals running into the fence
3) 6" from the ground to help prevent animals from pushing up under your fence.
As a general rule, choose steel cable if you are suspending your fence only from the posts in your kit, and choose monofilament cable if you're going to use a mix of posts and trees. Trees will grow and also move when there's wind, and the monofilament cable will stretch to accommodate.
If you decide to tension these no-climb fence kits, our suggested wire placement is where the poly fence meets the bottom wire (if applicable) and on the top of the fence before the canopy starts to form. It's not suggested that you tension the canopy because it creates a stable platform for animals to jump and land on. Tensioning in this case would create a more taut-looking finished fence and also add extra structure.
What's not included:
- Corners and ends (suggested for right angles), which brace against the tension put on the fence
- 2 ½” collars for corners and ends; you’ll need two for each corner or end purchased
- A hogringer hand tool (optional but faster) to connect each strand of cable to your fencing. You can use a 11/16 ringer with 1000 rings or a faster 9/16 commercial-grade ringer found here: 9/16 ringer that supports the use of stainless steel
- For large projects, a Gripple tensioning tool allows for the highest possible tension. Corners and ends must also be used
There is a reference to a page for corners and ends in the original copy, but it only links to the miscellaneous page. Do we have a more fitting product page to link this to?
