Each strip is 1 m long and 25 cm high. The strips slot together and the modular system allows you to enclose a garden plot of any required size. Draw a
furrow which is about 10 cm deep around the plot, slot the strips into each other (they should normally overlap by about 4 cm), fit the corner pieces and place the assembled slug fence into the furrow. If the strips are longer than
your plot, you can overlap them by up to about 50 cm. After installing the fence, you must remove all of the slugs which are already inside the fence. Either collect them manually (late evening is a good time – use a torch) or
place a plank within the fence and collect the slugs which are hiding under the plank after a day or two. It is also important to prevent plants from growing over the fence, which provide a "bridge" for the slugs to climb over, and
to trim the grass or weeds around the perimeter of the fence. One standard kit (box of 10 x 1 m strips and 4 corner pieces) is sufficient for an area of up to 2 x 3 m = 6 m². It is easy to add more strips to enclose a larger
area. See the pages for our distributors in Ireland
