Poly Fence Roll Comparison - What do I need?

POLY FENCE ROLL COMPARISON

The purpose of this page is to help you identify what you need and how to find it. For more information on how Critterfence compares to other types of the same product on the market, please visit this page: Critterfence

CRITTERFENCE POLY FENCING IS:

1. Made of 100% virgin polypropylene and 0% recycled polypropylene. This preserves the integrity of the entire fence mesh. Please note that any polypropylene (regardless of strength, if it's our product or other product on the market) is not chew proof. 
2. Made with UV inhibitors with outdoor life spans of up to 15 years, 20 years and 25 years depending on the type of Critterfence poly.
3. Extruded in the semi-round/round strand type. Without question this type of engineered product has a higher breaking strength per square foot. If you take two pieces of the same weight polypropylene material, this type will have a higher breaking strength per strand and also per square foot (poly fence mesh strength is measured in breaking strength per square foot). This type is also less visible than other designs. Please see notes above on why the least visible fence is important. This type also has very linear, equal sized squares that look better than other types up close.
4. Made and wrapped with heavy plastic using heavy tape for shipping protection. Some rolls are shipped in cardboard boxes
5. Made in different breaking strengths from 650 pounds of breaking strength per square foot up to 1400 pounds or more. Typically, fence mesh with less than this amount of strength can be broken by hand (if you pull on it with two hands it will break). This strength fence material is not suitable for animal containment or to keep out animals. In big box stores and mass marketers online you will often find this inexpensive material. Its usually bird netting that is 3/4" to 1" opening size +/- marketed as deer fence or garden fence.
6. We offer the reinforced bottom fence mesh but do not offer or suggest using an enhanced top border. The top border is often used in polyethylene fence which has to be pulled tight to be held up. A very visible top border is not suggested for keeping wildlife out.
7. Made with structure - Our Critterfence fence mesh does nearly stand up on it's own. It requires fence posts and support, but compared to other poly fence types it's rigid. It also stretches less than other types.
8. Made with one finished edge and one cut edge. This is important when working with the fence material - cut edges can hurt hands (and also animals). Typically customers install the finished edge on top with the cut unfinished edge on the bottom. Note: our reinforced bottom fence mesh types is semi-finished on the bottom (may have some irregularities and burrs but in general this type of fence roll has two finished edges one top and one reinforced bottom)
