The best way to defend your property from theft and trespassers is to clearly identify your property lines. Since savvy landowners no longer want livestock ruining their valuable timber, livestock fence and wire is rarely used for property-line identification. Fencing is expensive, ugly and can be dangerous to people and wildlife.
 
Today, industrial-grade boundary-marking paint is applied to “boundary trees” that cheaply and safely identify your property lines. Stray hunters or confused loggers working on an adjacent property can now clearly demarcate where your property begins.
 
Only boundary marking paint can last up to 10 years. Common paint should not be expected to last for more than a couple years. Protect your property by properly marking boundaries with cheap and safe boundary-marking paint.
