The ‘
Garden Guardian‘ kit has been created to keep cats off specific areas, such as ponds, flower beds, seed beds etc. It comprises three lines of
green electric tape or
polywire, supported by push-in posts (all of which come in green).
The standard kits come with either 100m or 200m of polywire/tape and 10 or 20 posts together with a small
battery energiser running off two
D-Cell batteries. Alternatively, a small
mains energiser or
solar energiser could be substituted.
Keeping Cats Off Walls, Fences & Roofs
Insulators: To keep cats out and off fences/walls/roofs etc., a barrier can be created by an electric fence of wire/polywire mounted on
Insulators. As an electric fence will only work by touching the live wire and the earth at the same time, an artificial earth will need to be created on a non metal fence or wall e.g. another wire, this time linked to the earth stake.
Electric Netting
Electric netting, complete with push-in posts, is one of the most effective deterrents for keeping cats away from specific areas – such as borders and veggie patches. Nets can be erected and taken down quickly and easily. Nets can be easily linked together to create a larger barrier. They are also an effective deterrent for keeping
dogs,
badgers and
rabbits out. The fence can be powered by either
mains or
battery powered energisers.
