You get some sticks and empty water bottles. In the bottles you cut 4 wings. Every yard or 2 around your enclosure, you put a stick firmly in the ground and slide a bottle onto it. You do the same at the mounts. The bottles will act as little windmills and start turning on the sticks, thus vibrating the sticks. Gophers hate vibrations with a passion and will claw their way out of your garden.
