I only have a short four foot fence and I did not have a gate on that for a long while. I well remember the rush of a feeling of security that came over me when I shut the gate I installed for the first time. No, it would not stop deer if they wanted in, it won't stop digging critters if they want in, but it has managed to keep them out. But for those of you who have a huge investment in your gardens and have had everything destroyed by deer, I can almost feel the emotions coming from you that I felt the day I shut that gate...it is like a huge burden has been lifted from your shoulders and now you can actually relax and enjoy the garden. Instead of the sad disappointments you feel when you rush out to see the latest blooms just to find them eaten, you can now actually experience the joy that comes from seeing all the work you have put out being presented in beautiful blooms...now you will actually get to be rewarded for your efforts...that is a wonderful thing to experience emotionally.
