Already did that, to no avail, when they made me take down the "fence", which was actually tomato cages spread out, I had to keep deer away from my hibiscus plants that I cherish even more than the gardenias. The fence was in the yard and the bylaws do say nothing is to be in the yard. The gardenia covers are in the natural area when the wind chill is below 30 degrees and I've found nothing that indicates they aren't allowed. I've had the hibiscus plants for over 20 years and brought cuttings from the original when I moved to Greensboro 3 years ago. Don't worry. I've not given up the fight for the gardenias. The HOA threw the coverings in at the end of the email where they told me of the final decision about the hibiscus. BTW, the ultrasonic deer "repellers" I put out appear to be working. 3 weeks and so far no sign the deer have bothered them and this is the blooming season. The neighbors love watching them grow each summer.
