Alternative appliance for a raised bed

For all garden lovers who use a raised bed, and thus our slug fence can not use, we have found another solution that makes it possible to protect the cultivated vegetables in raised bed in front of the slugs.

After the tape has been laid in two parallel runs at a distance of about 1 to 3 mm, the ends are cut to a sufficient length so that the plug connections can be fastened and easily connected to the control units connecting cables.



Next, the enclosed round plug-in sleeves are installed. To do this, the woven wires must be pulled out of the braid over a length of about 1 cm, the protruding plastic braid must be cut off and the wires twisted. The circular receptacle is then attached and fastened with crimping pliers. You can also use combination pliers to squeeze, the tailor part of it, only then press very carefully so as not to cut the socket completely.

The plastic band is intertwined with 4 thin metallic wires, is flexible, can be bent properly and thus adapt to all shapes. It can be fixed by using a commercially available stapler or hot glue.

WARNING Important! When you fix the tape using a stapler please take special care that the brackets are placed between the metallic wires or at the edge, otherwise it may happen that the wires are cut and the tape is useless.

Then the control unit is attached and the connecting cables are inserted into the prepared circular receptacles accordingly. Please use the illustrations here.

We recommend that a border should be build on the top of the raised bed (see Figure 1) so that the draining rain water does not affect the function of the slug protection.

Finally, connect the battery, check the functionality and the slugs get stay outside.

And here are connection options for control units with luster terminals or screw connections.
