D-Fence Products Inc

Leslie Whitton from Midland, Ontario pitched D-Fence, patent-pending post protectors that prevent premature wood rot at ground level on fence and deck posts by keeping grass and weed-whacker damage away, seeking $175,000 for 25%. The product requires no tools, measuring or fasteners to install, and the company is in its second season selling through Lowe's, with sales given afterward as $43,000 in the last 12 months.

This was a battle-round pitch against Fence Armor; neither founder initially disclosed sales figures, so the Dragons called both back to ask, and the panel voted 4 to 1 to hear more from Fence Armor instead, ending D-Fence's run without a chance to negotiate a deal.

D-Fence Products Inc is still operating and sells through its website.
