This fence is super easy to install and did not require a lot of strength to push the stakes into the ground. I installed it around a bed of peonies to deter my dogs from walking on them. It definitely keeps out our small dog and rabbits, but the large dog can easily jump over it. That is not a fault of the fence, it clearly states the height. The fence seems to be fairly thin and light weight, but it has stood up to our Newfoundland occasionally using it to scratch an itch. All in all, it has worked as intended and I am happy with the purchase. I will probably buy some more for a different flower bed on the side of my house.
