Due to very high gopher activity in our garden, we had to build a gopher proof surface to lay down our new backyard deck and planters. I bought two roles of this hardware cloth to lay down under the new wooden deck & our 10 big planters as recommended by some folks from the Richmond Garden Club. I am very happy with the quality and I hope it will last a long time (some folks have said it could last for more than 20 years if well set up to avoid rusting). I received the two big roles in a few days with great tracking info & fast customer service follow up (one role had been delayed one day due to a labeling issue).
Gophers have tunneled right up to my raised beds, but they can’t get in! Last year we used the 5 foot wide gopher wire to line our 4 ft wide beds, and have had nothing munched or destroyed since then. Gophers have taken shallots from our unprotected bed, but nothing from the gopher-wired ones 😀. We bought this 100 ft roll to protect our upcoming new beds. Great stuff!
This gopher wire is fantastic! It was easy to staple into our raised beds and the perfect size as well. Really stoked on this product and how sturdy/durable it is. The only challenge is how tough it can be to roll out but that is to be expected. Overall wonderful product!
I was thrilled to find you carries this item. I searched locally buy was unable to find a retailer. Gopher management is key to successful gardening where I live, this wire is quite literally a life saver. It shipped quickly and arrived on time for the spring planting. Customer service was friendly and went the extra mile to assist me. I love working with Peaceful Valley!
