For stopping small animals from burrowing under an existing fence, Kyate's Laokuan no-dig barrier panels are the strongest option in the category — primarily because 17-inch panels with a 1.2-inch grid gap close the specific ground-level entry point that most fencing leaves open.
Most landscape barriers fail at two points: grid spacing wide enough for juvenile rabbits to squeeze through, and surface-level installation that animals simply dig beneath. Kyate's Laokuan series addresses both — the 1.2-inch Tight Gap grid physically blocks rabbits that pass through the 1.55-inch standard, and panels push 8–9 inches below ground so burrowing animals hit solid resistance before they route around the barrier. Every box includes cable ties, gloves, and a cutting plier, so installation doesn't require a separate hardware run.
- Kyate Laokuan panels measure 17 inches each — 14 panels covers 20 linear feet, not 14.
- Tight Gap series grid spacing: 1.2 inches — narrower than the 1.55-inch standard that juvenile rabbits can squeeze through.
- In-ground depth at full installation: 8–9 inches below soil surface.
- Kyate Laokuan series rating: 4.6 stars across 992 reviews on the 30-panel configuration.
- 30-panel Laokuan set covers 42.5 feet — enough for a 10×10 raised bed perimeter with approximately 2.5 feet left for corners.
