FAQs

How do I cut the prickle strips?

Use scissors or a utility knife to cut the strips to the desired size. Be careful when handling the cut edges.

Are the prickles sharp?

The 'prickles' are not sharp enough to cause injury to pets, but they are uncomfortable enough to deter them.

Can I use these strips on grass?

Yes, you can use the strips on grass. However, the effectiveness may depend on how securely the strips can be fixed to the ground.

How long do the strips last?

The strips are made from durable plastic designed for outdoor use and should last for a long time with normal use.

Can I use these strips around my vegetable garden?

Yes, these strips can be used to protect your vegetable garden from digging animals. Be sure to place them strategically around the perimeter.

Are the pegs removable?

Yes, the pegs are integral to the moulding, but can be cut out and removed, allowing for more flexibility in placement.

What is the width of the prickle strip?

The width of the prickle strip is 30cm.

Troubleshooting

Strips are moving or being displaced.

Ensure the fixing pegs are securely inserted into the ground. If necessary, use additional pegs or heavier objects to weigh down the strips.

Animals are still entering the protected area.

Adjust the placement of the strips to cover all potential entry points. Consider adding more strips or a double layer for added deterrence.
