innogard
Snail fence

The innogard slug fence proved to be an extremely effective and environmentally friendly solution for slug defense in our test. This product not only provides an efficient barrier against snails, but is also characterized by its user-friendliness and durability. The snail fence was easy to install. The individual elements could be put together effortlessly and adapted to the individual garden conditions. Thanks to the sophisticated geometry of the galvanized metal snail plate, it was almost impossible for snails to get over the fence. This resulted in reliable snail defense without the use of harmful chemicals. A major advantage of this snail fence is its environmental friendliness. It provides a biological snail repellent that does not harm nature or other animals. This is particularly important at a time when environmentally friendly solutions are becoming increasingly important. We were also impressed by the durability of the product. Made from high quality material such as galvanized metal, the snail fence proved to be durable and resistant to the elements. The hot-dip galvanizing even made it possible to leave the fence up in winter without dismantling it. The option of having the snail fence powder-coated in different RAL colors offered additional flexibility to match the garden style. The optional“variable snail fence corner” also proved to be a practical addition. Overall, the innogard snail fence is an excellent choice for anyone looking for an effective, environmentally friendly and durable snail repellent. This product was convincing in our test and allows plants to finally grow undisturbed in the garden.
