Fence Wall Spikes Prikkastrip® Garden Security Intruder Bird Cat Repellent Burglar Anti Climb - Colour (BROWN) (Pack of 100-50M to 150M)

I purchased this product following an attempted burglary where a group of males had climbed my 6ft fence into the back garden at 4am - luckily my dogs were nice and alert, went crazy upon seeing these males approaching the patio door, and they all ran off (for those interested/concerned)I looked at a few "fence spike" options, and landed on these. I didn't want something that looked too over the top or obvious, but I did want these to be visible so that the attempted burglars could see them, would know that they had been seen, and hopefully prevent a second attempt.I also wanted them to be functional, so that if a second attempt was not prevented, then when they tried to climb the fence, this would hopefully provide a physical deterrent.As far as I'm concerned, this fence strip ticks both boxes, it is visible but doesn't look crazy - and you can certainly feel it if you push onto the spikes with any pressure. This is enough to cause pain, but (unless putting considerable weight on) not realistically enough to cause injury, which is ideal in fitting with UK legislation (PLEASE NOTE, THIS IS MY UNDERSTANDING OF LEGISLATION - I AM NOT A LEGAL PROFESSIONAL).When it comes to fitting, you will either need a fair few screws, or nails. I was fitting on top of a wooden fence, and attempted to fit my first one with No Nails, and a few screws to hold the product in place. The No Nails did not seem to adhere, so used screws alone for the rest.A portion of my fence was very thin on top, so rather than fitting one thin strip, I used the while length of 3, and folded each side over to screw into the sides of the fence panels. This arguably gave a much better end result as it is very securely held in place, while leaving spikes present on the top of the fence, as well as the front and back where a person may try to grip. I suspect this may also be good for the fence, providing protection from water entering the end grain of the fence panels - which is a win-win.

It does the job

Does what it says on the sellers pageEasy to fix in placeVery strong and flexibleGood quality plastic used

Got rid of the cats

Bought this so the next door cat cannot come in and attack my cat, but seems walking on it doesn't bother the cat. I think may be if dog but cat to light really might stop it jumping on fence though but have not put them up yet so don't know, but on the ground at drive entrance no good just walked on them.

It was easy to fit and it can be single double or treble.

Easy to place, good value however, it has not stopped the cats walking the fence after the birds.
