Hi Marc--this is helpful, thank you. I bought the dig defense system a while ago, but installing in my hard, rock-filled ground is tough. Here's my question: on another site, I saw that they recommended installing on the outside of the fence. But it looks like you installed on the inside?
I did install it on the inside. For the neighbor's fence, it was going to have to be on the inside anyway, and for the rest I just wanted to be consistent. I think it's fairly unobtrusive and neat looking even on the inside, but it's a matter of personal preference how you'd like to install it.
I like the idea. especially since I'm trying to figure out a way to keep the rabbits from destroying my lawn...however, I don't want a solution where the bottom 6" of the fence costs as much as the upper 6' of it.
