Zubebe 10 Pack Small Wire Plant Protectors Square Plant Protectors from Animals Mesh Cage Chicken Wire Cloche for Shrubs with Ground Stakes and Nylon Ties(Thickness 1mm,Dark Green)

I was initially disappointed to find out that these didn’t come with a top as pictured and that instead of getting a 10 cages if I wanted to stop the squirrels I had to use the wire squares to add tops and reducing the 10 cages down to 8 cages but I ABSOLUTELY love these things. In fact if you configure the zip ties correctly - you can configure with the top and make them so that you can collapse them without ever cutting the zip ties off.Then just use a old fashioned twist ties so you can open and close the top panel to put seedlings in and out or easily get to your plants inside!!!The stakes are of an absolutely amazing thickness and securely puts the boxes into the ground!!! I’ve had a squirrel or raccoon topple the top panel a time or two but not actually get in and could use more twist ties if I’ve wanted too … but extremely happy and has protected seeds and baby plants I would have lost based on past experiences!!!You can also put two square boxes elongated and overlapping to create a longer larger cages to be rectangular and then just use twist ties again!!!I would note that based on the protective film on the cages - when I put them together - my hands would be black and simply washed my hands really well to get off after assembly!!!I don’t know about longevity but have had outside in Florida weather for 2+ months and seen no deterioration of cages and no rusting which can happen very quickly!!! I had ordered 1-2 sets initially and ordered one more once then did 3 sets!!! I just found this as a 20 box set - 80 panels from the same seller and just ordered 2 more of of 80 piece sets since I’m so happy with the flexibility in configuration, the ability to collapse when not in use based on how I zip tied them, the usability and success of keeping my seedlings safe, and ability to secure easily and get to my plants, and what appears to be durability so far and the price/size compared to other options out there - love, love, love this product by this seller !!!

Works well to keep critters away from plants, easy to use and can customize the size/shape you need. Bought more to protect more plants. Light weight and blends into landscape. Good value. Durable too.

Worked

Works well

The *$&#@ deer had eaten eight bean plants to the ground, and stripped many of the leaves off the second (replacement) set. Granulated coyote urine was an ineffective deterrent. So I trimmed away the bare stalks and modified this kit to make one large bean cage/cover for my vegetable trug. It may not be beautiful, but it did the trick. I liked that the wire was easy to cut, and it's definitely sturdy enough. When you cut the white zip ties, the entire front raises up and out of the way to allow weeding and harvesting. The birds seem mad about it, which means they could have been pilfering, too. You can feed/water through the wire. The whole cage will easily lift off in the fall to store for next year. We also can barely see it from a few feet away, so it's not as unsightly as I'd feared. My only quibble is that I wish this kit had come with more zip ties; you wind up spoiling a few along the way, and we had to use the bigger ones we had on hand instead of the small/less noticeable ones they provided.

If you look at the picture for this product, you see a "cage" assembled. But, when it comes, all you get are a bunch of square plastic grids and zip ties that I am supposed to put together myself. Poor design and not a good description of the product at all.

The edges are very sharp and pointed on every side, so be extremely careful. Both my son and I got cut walking around them. Secondly, these are not as sturdy as they look in the pictures. Just imagine zip-tying metal wires together. They are flimsy and when we put one together over the garden bed like people did in the pictures we forgot to cut the zip ties like they did and it looks so horrible. It takes absolutely forever to put together. To do every one in this box took about 6 hours and WE RAN OUT OF ZIP TIES. They don't even provide enough for all sides of the connections! Not a fan, don't recommend.

The bunnies and deer will NOT let my various types of rudbeckia get more than 2” high, they keep mowing it all down!! These cages have successfully protected my black eyed Susan’s so I actually have blooms this year, first time in 3 years!! My cut leaf coneflowers are new seedlings so no blooms this year but at least they’ve been able to grow some foliage and roots! Some animal tried to pry the mesh top off one cage and still couldn’t get at my plants 🙌 foiled!!
