Review on Secure Your Garden With Gardman R649 Fencing - 5' X 1' by David Hashman

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Don't buy this stuff.

I purchased six rolls of this product last fall and have been very disappointed with it. As other reviewers have suggested, it is very transparent and hardly makes a screen, much less a fence. Unlike the Master Garden brand of fencing, the Gardman fencing is made of much thinner willow and the result is a very transparent material. Once installed it leaves more than 50% of the area open. It really doesn't provide much in the way of privacy. I ended up spending over $200 to buy additional material to make a second layer. It utterly changed the design of my fence which is disappointment enough but due to its thin diameter will not last very long either. I'm sure I'll have to replace it in 3-5 years. I bought the Master Garden brand in the past and was very happy with it. I used their 39" size and it's still in use after about eight years. Today I received a roll of Master Garden 6' fencing and like their other fencing, this was well made with much thicker willow pieces. It also has black wire that doesn't show much like the bright silver wire used on the Gurdman brand.

Pros
  • Adds an extra layer of protection for children playing in the yard
Cons
  • Could be a pain to install around trees or other obstacles
