Has anyone used these stakes along with cable ties to surround your garden to keep out animals?

I purchased them to anchor plants and would not suggest you use them for keeping out animals, not thick enough or sturdy enough. Use a metal stake with a triangular metal piece at the base you put in the ground for the support you need and long term durability. Good Luck with the animals!

Not that I know of ... sorry. It sounds like it could work, though. These are wooden stakes, however, so they will eventually rot, I would think.

I have not - I've used the relatively tight mesh as a barrier to snakes the might invade the yard - so far so good.

i had the posts, so i just used them to cover my beans because i wanted to pick underneath them, but i suppose you could just lay it on top of whatever you want to protect.fyi - depending on what you are wanting to keep the deer away from, i have foundthat the weed barrier (for the ground) works the best. they can't stand walking on it, & you have abonus of no weeds, less water usage, clean product, no rot (pumpkins) & warms the soil fora product like tomatoes! ":-) i roll it up & use it year after year.

No; I have used High Tech pet fence both buried and at the surface of my yard. Works both ways :) Just be sure to secure the wire if you do not bury it. Lawn mowers and kids are good at picking up the wire if it is not buried.

As long as you don't have any obstacles to the movement of the cable you should be fine. I use large trees as anchor points but still had to remove any plants, brush or even fences that are sure to be frequented by your pet. Beanie, my beagle, had run loose in the bush her entire life (13 years) and I worried about her ability to adapt to the new 'limited range' phenomena that a 'run cable' would impose. She adapted like she had been on a leash her whole life. There is also a tripping hazard to consider and of course mowing the lawn can have an added layer of complexity. I spent a considerable amount of time watching and interacting with her on the cable before I would leave her unattended. I was always home when she was on the cable. If I had to leave, she went with me. They can tie things in a KNOT you could never imagine. All the best.

The connecting rods that hold the panels together extend down into the ground a few inches. This has been secure enough to hold our two dogs (Boston Terrier & Scotty), although they don't really try to escape. If you have big dogs that might push extremely hard, you may want to supplement with some other stakes.

I utilize metal garden stakes & created a fence within a fence in my backyard to provide my Cavalier King Charles spaniels with an exercise area.

No I had couple tent stakes lying around. you could also use hanger wire bent in U-shape for stakes.

Yes, I did. There are two holes in the back of it. I ran some wire (bailing wire in this case but many types will do) and I tied it to the fence. It works well.

I bought it to keep dogs out. They interlock and if you push them deeply into the soil they should be pretty strong. I guess it depends on the size and determination of the dig and the height of the bed

I used 24" rebar stakes for mine. But I was out in the desert and worried about wind - and not much else. Those 24" - 36" spiral stakes could work if you have soft soils.

I do not have direct experience using these staples but if you are talking about something like an "invisible fence" then there should not be a problem using these staples. What is more an issue might be the management of the grounds where you place the wire and staples. These staples are heave prone from winter thaw cycles and thus if they are not reset they might be an obstruction if placed in a lawn.

With the equipment the manufacturer has provided, not a chance. Even on a lawn, the stakes are useless. I suggest doing what I did: If you have a couple of large boulders on your property, lay them across the rear horizontal frame. They will keep the net from moving, and they will not interfere with the net itself.

I would think that they would protect from rabbits. I am using them to protect my trees from deer and they have worked very well. Good luck!

I would not use it got this purpose. Didn't work to stop my dog from barking. Use an electric dog fence about a foot inside the perimeter of the fence you have now.

No, I put the ones I have on a fence post and used common horseshoe nails to secure them. Works great.

The simple answer is yes. My house had the typical flat cover outside outlets and these covers allow attaching power cords while still maintaining weather sealing. In my case for a pond aerator and a heated pad for an outside kitty.
