I guess I'll find out if it works. I'm using the 1" tape and they say to put the second one about an inch away, effectively give you a 3" span. Apparently the snails can step over a 1" copper but then they land on the second one and change their mind.
"Does copper really work?" There are youtube videos showing slugs being reluctant to cross copper, and there are also videos showing no aversion to copper at all. If copper does work, it's likely dependent on the quality of the copper tape. Also I've read that copper oxidizes pretty rapidly and the tape needs to be polished or replaced to be effective.
