Amid Covid -19, I am spending every day at the farm. Yesterday, I competed a long over due project. To prevent coons from eating 90 percent of my apples again this year, I took flat coil stock and fabricated metal cylinders similar to stove pipe and then hung them from the first row of laterals like another member had recommended years ago.
Now the issue, I have about 20 M-7 trees that have to be staked. I use three metal T-posts and support the tree with 14 gauge fence wire run through tubing.
I am wondering if the coons can climb the T-Posts, hang from the wire and get to the trees. The only think I know to do is to either put flat coil stock around the posts or slide 2.5 inch PVC over them. I am not eager to fab any more coil stock having made 150 of the tubes this week, so if you think the coons can climb T-posts I think I will try the PVC.
