If this is a 'second generation' of fencing, does that mean it is better than the Tenax Heavy Duty UV-Resistant Polypropylene Mesh Deer Fencing?

No, it is the same. First generation refers to a product that has not be produced for a long time. The quality and strength are the same.

Tenax C-flex has been used for a long time and has not been modified to my knowledge, so I do not know what the term "second generation" refers to. Stronger and more expensive Tenax grades that have also been produced for a long time are Tenax C-flex P and Tenax C-flex HD. All these types have relatively round strands. More recently the market has seen various flat-strand deer fence products emerge, mostly not made by Tenax, that are roughly equivalent to one or another of the Tenax round-strand C-flex grades but relatively unproven.

From the specs they look the same. However the C Flex fence is the newer product and is the one that Tenax is supplying its distributors with now. If you want a fence that is more heavy duty I would suggest the C Flex P or the C Flex HD over the standard.

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.

As for UV protection it is comparable to both the Sun Mountain and the Gustbuster UV versions. I've used both.

You need to be more specific on what you're looking for when you ask how does this compare. The simple answer is it does not compare. This is approximately 600 denier polyester canvas, Cordura is nylon canvas, a much stronger material. Cordura is better is every aspect but price, but you do get what you pay for. I would not use this for motorcycle clothing, though as a reinforcing for jeans as someone replied, maybe, I'm guilty of taking short rides with just jeans, T-shirt and Oakleys so a little extra protection is better than nothing, though i do have a Cordura jacket. I'm off topic now, motorcycles do that to me. Anyways, I don't know what you plan to do with this material, if you need Cordura, get Cordura, rhino canvas is for canopies, bags, outdoor furniture, but if you need something really strong and abrasion resistant that is Cordura.

CK - I'm not quite sure I understand your concern. In my opinion the Makita plate joiner is quite stable on its large fence/foot and it is well designed ergonomically. In short, it is easy to complete accurately located pockets that cut cleanly in soft or hardwood. One reason I picked the Makita was for its superior fence design. Specifically, it's all die cast aluminum and it is precision milled on each side to ride on tapered "ways" that are machined onto the motor frame. Because of this design the geared fence height adjustment is smooth and accurate with no play or "wobble" due to excessive machining tolerances. The fence cam lock is also easy to use and because of the noted machined design it locks the fence without "camming" or twisting the base or foot (i.e. everything stays square). One knock in reviews is that the "foot" has a rather small opening for sighting your pocket location lines. For myself this has not been an issue. If you haven't already, find a local Makita dealer where you can go and examine the machine's construction, controls and general feel in your hands. Then do the same with the highly rated PC and "yellow" tool offerings. I think you'll be impressed that the Makita is also a quality standout, if not superior. Note that the joiners offered by HD and Sears (same tool under different brands) are very poor seconds. Hope this helps.

Ours was black, very light and flimsy, and difficult to work with. A joke we bought it to keep out deer, they hopped inside the net fencing, then when we scared them away, they started running, and took the netting with them! Kind of funny actually!

I like Petsafe because we have Shih Tzus and they have a very tight knit fur making it very thick and hard for anything to penetrate. The Petsafe fencing is able to penetrate and keep them in our electric fence line very well. Hope this helps. Donna/BookTiger

Honestly I don't know...I don't have experience in boning/processing big game. Because the BK15 is 1095 CroVan and slightly over 1/8", like the original Ka-Bar, there isn't going to be much flex. So if you want flex, this ain't it. BUT, I did find a youtube video of an Asian guy processing a deer with a BK17. If the BK17 can process a deer, the BK15 can do the job too. As you can see, the BK15 has a tapered spine, so if you need to hack through a bone, that might help. Look for virtuovice deer hunting knives #99. I hope this helps. Just be advised, the guy's english isn't that strong, but it's good enough for you to understand him. Honestly I don't know...I don't have experience in boning/processing big game.

Yes. Buy it. You will be more then happy. Only other fence I would say might be just a bit better is the new shopfox classic. Both are awesome just comes down to money. BUT the micro adjustment on the Vega is a great feature.

The company does make a thicker version for more coverage. I almost bought the thicker, as its cheaper than buying two layers, but was concerned it might look too dense. If you double this one, or put one layer on each side of the fence, you can't see through it. I have some of mine doubled, some one layer, and some with a bamboo reed fence. It's fast and easy to put up. It helps if you have a second person, but it's lightweight, and not too hard to do alone.

I would not recommend this one. We bought so many of them last year as Christmas gifts, and 75% of them have already failed. By the BLACK Xhose instead. I've had NO problems with this one, which is heavier duty, and a larger circumference, and also has very sturdy metal connections that are brass.

I don't think so but I am only sayinh that because the one my client gave me several years ago is an original and there is a significant difference in way materials feel and look. That being said, I really have no idea if it's same material only " improved" or something.

Yes it is. I damaged my blade by cutting on some hidden chain-link fencing. Fiskars was kind enough to send me a replacement blade - their upgraded titanium blade. One bolt replaces it.

The deerblock netting is quite lightweight. I used it for a year, then had to replace it, as it was torn in several places, though I am still using some as bird netting over a blueberry patch. The Deer Barrier fencing has been up for 2 years now (on two gardens), and is still in perfect condition.Netting: light weight and less endurance. Easier to install (bends like fabric).Barrier fencing: heavy weight -- should last 5 years with no problems. Harder to install, but quite reasonable to do so if poles are plumb, with a level mark on them. We have a constant deer population, and the gardens are well protected with this.

It seems to be heavy duty, and it feels heavier then that. I can tell you I had my original pole over 10 years and this one seems to be of much better quality.

Hi Nancy,I am not sure if it is the same as the Heavy Duty fencing, but I can tell you that it is different than what I bought the last time and I think the last time was Heavy Duty. It is close, but I would purchase the heavy duty product because it looks slightly more substantial.

My wire stripper handles it nicely at either the 18 or 20 gauge setting, but the wire is definitely heavier than the stuff that came with my dog fence. Also, the insulation is heavier and tougher.
