Review on Easy-to-Use Presco SWR Stripe Flagging Height Marker for Efficient Site Planning by Bill Schlag

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Does the job we wanted!

We were looking for something special to hold the outer elements in place that would last a while. We have a four foot fence around our yard and lots of deer. Since deer have poor depth perception (and since they're supposed to see blue pretty well, we went with blue and white stripes), we went with the old trick of making them think the fence is higher than it actually is is. to stop someone from jumping. I know that if a deer wants to climb over a six foot fence it can and will, but we just wanted it to deter that behavior anyway. We also wanted to strung something over the fence that could twist and flap in the wind, hoping to scare them and the birds. So far, so good. I like that it is marker tape and not tape. We just installed an outdoor rope about two feet above the fence and all the way around. We cut the ribbon into long strips and start tying it to the thread. So far it has withstood the harsh rays of the sun and weathered some heavy rains well. I know we'll just end up ordering another large roll of this replacement material, but actually our goal was to get something that would last a year. So far, so good. We are very happy with this tape.

Pros
  • Protective tape
Cons
  • A newer model could have been chosen
