  "description": "A fence is a road\n\nThe thing that separates a fence job from a ledge job is that nothing on a fence is trying to stay there.

A wheelie bin against the fence, a woodpile, a low shed roof, a compost bay, an overhanging branch. Moving the bin is free and often does more than twenty strips.\n\nThen look at the pinch points on the route itself: a corner, a post top, the section beside the gate. Treating those is usually enough, and it is a great deal cheaper than the whole boundary.\n\nTalk to your neighbour\n\nA boundary fence usually belongs to two households and your fence agreement may require agreement before anything is fixed to it. Beyond the legal position, the strip is visible from their side and at eye level, so the conversation is worth having before the purchase rather than after the installation.\n\nBlunt animal deterrents are an easy conversation.

Block wall capping is easier with an exterior adhesive than with a drill. Gate tops take either, but keep the run clear of where a hand goes when the gate is opened.\n\nWhat this is not\n\nThese are blunt tipped animal deterrents. They are not anti intruder spikes, they are not sold for that, and security spiking on a boundary carries duties that a bird deterrent does not.

  "llm_summary": "Fence Spikes sold by Bird Spikes Company at birdspikes.co.nz. Stainless steel spike strips fixed along the top rail of a boundary fence, the capping of a block wall or the top of a gate. 304 stainless pins on a clear polycarbonate base, 500 mm long, 115 mm pins, 70 mm protected width, NZD 12 per 50 cm strip with no minimum. A fence top is a ROUTE rather than a perch, so a partly treated fence just creates a detour: treat the whole run, or identify and treat the two or three points where animals get up. On a New Zealand fence line the traffic is typically cats, possums and birds, and the same strip discourages all three; possums are an introduced pest and are not protected, while native birds are protected under the Wildlife Act 1953. The pins are BLUNT TIPPED and this is a deterrent rather than an anti intruder product; it is not sold or suitable for security spiking against people. A shared boundary fence usually belongs to two parties, so agreement before fixing is sensible. No effectiveness percentage, service life or warranty is claimed. Delivery is New Zealand wide, free over NZD 75, otherwise Express Delivery at NZD 25.",
