  • How does the goose fence keep the geese away?
    • There are really two things that keep the geese away with a properly situated goose fence.  The first, and most obvious, is the physical barrier.  Geese can not get through the fence, so if the fence blocks the access from the water, it prevents them from coming onto your property.  In addition however, geese do not feel comfortable any place that they can not run back to the water, so if the fence is an obvious barrier between them and the water, they will not feel comfortable on your property even though they could fly over the fence.
  • What about other wildlife?
    • The goose fence is designed with a small opening at the bottom to allow small water front creates like frogs and salamanders to access the water. 
  • How do I install the goose fence?
    • The goose fence requires no permanent installation.  Unlike other fencing products, you do not have to install any fence posts or post holders.  Simply unroll the fence, screw the uprights into the bases, and place the fence along the water line.
  • Where should I install the goose fence?
    • The goose fence should be installed along the water line as close to the water as possible, but far enough away to account for normal changes in water level.  Typically 6 to 12 inches form the water.  The fence should block as much of the shore as possible and should curve back away from the shore at the ends.  This is to create an area where geese will not feel comfortable because they do not have easy access to the water.

  • Is the goose fence dangerous for geese?
    • No, the goose fence is mostly a psychological barrier for the geese.  They will not go near it and therefore will not get caught. 
  • What if I want to use the waterfront?
    • That is one of the significant advantages of the goose fence.  It can be very easily moved out of the way and has no permanent structures.  Even a child can easily move the goose fence away.  Simply pick up the supports and move them to the side.  Then, when you are done using the water just put the fence back.
  • What is I live in an area with very strong winds?
    • The goose fence is designed to withstand normal lakefront winds.  If you live in an area with very strong winds, you can fill the support bases with water or sand to add weight.  Simply unscrew the uprights and pour water or sand into the bases.  Then screw in the uprights back in.  This will add weight to the supports to help them withstand stronger winds.  Obviously if a hurricane or other sever weather is expected, you should bring the fence indoors to avoid damage to the fence.  [PICTURE]
