## Questions & Answers

**Q: Do the union of two panels form a waterproof barrier?**
A: No, and roots can find their way through the union.

**Q: Can it be buried so that half is above ground to make a raised bed. And if so would it require external support?**
A: Yes, it could be buried half way, however, no you can't use it to form a raised bed with soil in it. The panels are not rigid, so soil behind them would cause them to bow very badly. You'd need to stake them with something rigid at least every 12", and even then they would probably bow between the stakes.

**Q: can I connect this to make a square?**
A: It is 60 mil. Plastic. If above ground, it will bulge out, roundish, from weight of dirt inside.  If below ground, surrounded by dirt, it can be just 4 panels linked, to set into a square space.

**Q: What do you recommend for arborvitaes roots?**
A: This product will work fine. The arborvitae roots are shallow and have little chance of getting beneath and beyond the barrier.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review
*by T***I on 13 June 2019*

Was a great product to install, except it didn’t dig the ditch for me. ☹️ I dug a trench 2 ft deep to accept the plastic panels. I installed mine specially to keep blackberries out of my yard, along with other plants. The panels connect together very easily by sliding one into the other. The abs / poly or whatever it is made from is thick enough that it would be difficult to damage. I drilled holes in the top of the panels and tie wrapped them to the bottom of my chain link fence. Looks great. Will it keep the blackberries out? ... stay tuned...
