Is this tough enough to stand up to deer rubbing their antlers against the tree?

No, they would destroy it. I would try something that smells bad. Maybe pinesol not on the trunk on rags in containers near the tree.

I would say it won't hold up. It's great to discourage the deer from chewing on the bark and protect from sun scald. I would use chicken wire for antlers.

No, I do not think it is strong enough to stand up to deer rubbing their antlers against the tree. It is nice for general landscaping needs, but I think you would be disappointed in it for your needs.

I've found that deer won't rub on this because I don't think they like the texture of the tape (or it simply covers the tree bark that they do like). The deer in our area only rub on softer bark trees (aspen, young maple), so I only cover them with tape. There have been times when they obviously try rubbing and tear the wrap, but don't continue enough to damage the tree. The only fool-proof thing to deter deer is plastic drainage tile. The wrap does deter rabbits from eating the soft bark.

I use this wrap to deter wild rabbits from chewing our young fruit trees in our pasture. It works when multiple layers are wrapped. I don't think that would stand up to deer rubbing. For that I would suggest to use heavy duty burlap tree wrap.

No,cord not tough/thick enough. I'd you can hold it up high enough and long enough you might do some very little and light leaves on shrubbery.

Yes and I'll explain why. It's made of fleece with ties so it's flexible. Under the fleece is waterproof material which protects the wood . I would make sure on measurement. If the sides are curved you might need more length (or not)Hope this helps

Agree with the other comments. I have never hit a deer with the guard but it seems pretty tough. Depending on the velocity of the collision you might still have some damage but probably not to the point where it would disable your vehicle. One thing is for sure: the plastic grill of my old Ford didn't do much to prevent the radiator from being punched full of holes when I hit a deer with it!

Very well. The foam material will have wear and tear but it doesn't affect performance. There's nothing to pop. I've had pine needles go through, no problem. I have it on the outside of my pack, scraping on rocks and bushes and all that's happened was some scratching and a little material might look frayed/ grated (like cheese) but it's only really cosmetic. The material doesn't tear, but basically wears down like with sandpaper.

Yes, if kids are playing it should stand up to some sword fighting. I think the manufacturer warns against it due to risk of injury. If adults were to whack at each other with these, I'm sure they would break.

Mine has torn from being pulled. But the fabric is still pretty thick and tough. I'm going to buy another one for another piece of furniture. You can't beat the price on this. I would say that it will stand up to your weather, just be gentle pulling it back over the furniture.

I have a small piece of property and carry this with me in the woods. I have cut small branches, invasive vines, and thrown it ALOT with out any worries of it breaking or hurting the performance. So in summation, yes, it will definitely handle heavy abuse and throwing at log, trees, stumps, etc. I have hit the hilt and handle many many times without any permanent damage.

very. it is very thick, and very heavy. don't know how well it hold up to anything besides vegetation, which it is great for. highly suggest it.

It seems fairly durable and will stand up well to walking around and laying on it, but if your Husky likes to chew things, I don't see it withstanding that.

Is this table sturdy enough for cutting up deer? I personally haven't cut up anything close to the weight of a deer. 20lb fish is the most, but I would say "yes". This table seems very durable. The hard plastic top seems strong and the legs although skinny also seems like it would hold up as well. My only concern would be the balance of the deer on the table. So...durable? "yes". Stable..."unsure".

They are very effective to protect from deer damage and should work for geese. Heavy gauge plastic stands up well to the elements.

It is hard, but not brittle. While resting on its edge on the floor, and with very firm two-thumb pressure from above, there is a VERY slight give. My guess is that it would survive a drop from a couple of feet high.

Yes. It can take a beating and stand up as long as you understand the proper handling and assembly. I prefer to keep it in the case.

Hello, glad to add inputs. Since the product is, essentially, protected in the plastic shell, it is fairly well shielded from the weather and elements. Therefore, it seems to be very effective in keeping the deer away from the shrubs we have placed in proximity of. The claim the manufacturer makes about lasting an entire "growing season" seems pretty accurate. I am very pleased so far! Hope this helps.

I have these on trees where deer have scraped the trunk and it deterred them from coming back (although sourcing other things in the vicinity but that's a different story). My guess it would work on geese or other birds. We have some plum trees and we use wrap on them because of the shape of the trunk. Haven't had trouble with ants, deer and trees are yielding fine. But I like these cages when possible. I use little ties to keep them shut.

Urn is very light. Filled with dirt and/or rock would make it quite sturdy. I thing as long as the tree is not too wide it would work.
