This is the third set of metal fencing that I’ve purchased to use temporarily for new plantings. I have a large rambunctious dog who is amusingly wary of getting caught in the fencing. She stays off reseeded grass areas, muddy patches, and tender plants because of these terrifically easy to install fence pieces. Once the zip ties are in place, it is quite sturdy. And when they’ve served their purpose, they can be stacked and stored away in a bin.
