Maybe remove the corner wires. Then make a couple with para cord, a little carabiner, and better stakes. When you need to stake a corner just clip the line on and there you go. I know better if the company addressed the issue, but seems like an easy fix.
Thanks for the video, we have these as well but I disagree as we are holistically grazing sheep with them. The trick with the corners is to use a t-post or some other solid anchor. You could tie it to some of those trees near your fence post. I have a video on my channel with some info on this. Best wishes
We have been using this fence for about two years now with cows. Our pasture used to be tobacco cropland that was irrigated. Thus, we have some really hard, compacted soil from erosion and continual soil depletion. In our context we have found that the spikes on each of the poles can bend over time and the plastic feet can break off as well. Overall, I'm fairly pleased with it as a product but it is not perfect and is not inexpensive. Between this and electric netting like Premier 1 sells (the option with the robust single spike posts that you can hammer in) I tend to prefer the Premier 1. Just my 2 cents from using both types of portable fencing.
Thanks for your honest review. I looked at these a while back and had my reservations about making the investment. It really helps to here the thoughts of someone who is currently using it on their operation.
Neat product, I often camp in areas where bears are not rare. I see a product that can save lives that is compact and inclusive. Giving a first line deterrent gives one time to take a defensive posture for safety. Are they very durable?
I keep watching videos of this product but no one is talking about predators. I can see that it keeps the sheep in but do you think it will keep predators out? I keep hesitating on purchasing one because of this. :/
You fud a very good job explaining how it works n how it doesn't ( very clearly)
I feel your pain with the stakes. I just carry pieces of rebar with me and peg them through the eyes of the stakes
Nice to see you today in my feed! I have wanted to purchase this fencing for a while, your review is very helpful. Have a nice day!

Yes. That would work. Overall I use them and they are the best option. The title is supposed to catch potential viewer interest. 😉
I came her to also mention using something solid on the corner like a T-post. There really isn't a better option for what this does.

Thank you Simeon , this was very interesting !
Thanks for the update Simeon.
You could forward your video or suggestion to Gallaghers to help their R&D.
GOD BLESS YOU
If the size of the pegs is the issue you should change them yourself to something suitable for your circumstance.
Thank you!

Great review 👏
I have designed a four wire system that is much cheaper, but probably not quite as fast
👍👍👍
Might work for me.

Any word yet on your visa??
I was hoping he'd hear something by now too.
