Features

1、Height: Deer fences are typically tall, ranging from 7 to 10 feet (2.1 to 3 meters) or more. This height helps prevent deer from jumping over the fence.

2、Mesh Size: The mesh or spacing between the fence wires is designed to be small enough to prevent deer from squeezing through or getting their heads stuck.

3、Material: Deer fences are commonly made from durable materials like metal (such as steel or aluminum) or plastic (polypropylene or PVC) to withstand outdoor conditions.

4、Tension: These fences are designed to be taut and not sag, making it difficult for deer to push through or climb over.

5、Visibility: Some deer fences are designed to be nearly invisible to humans, blending into the landscape. This can be achieved through materials like black-coated mesh.

6、Gates: Deer fences usually have gates for human access and maintenance, and these gates often have additional measures to prevent deer from slipping through when opened.

7、Ground Barrier: Some deer fences include a buried barrier (e.g., a trench with mesh or wire) to prevent deer from digging underneath.

8、Durability: Deer fences are built to withstand weather conditions and can be long-lasting with proper maintenance.

9、Electrification: In some cases, electric wires or shock systems can be added to the deer fence for added deterrent against deer attempting to breach it.

10、Aesthetic Options: There are options for deer fences that are designed to be aesthetically pleasing, which is important in residential areas.

 

These features collectively make deer fences effective in keeping deer out of gardens, farms, or other areas where they can cause damage to vegetation.

 

Benefits

1、Protection for Vegetation: Deer fences are highly effective at keeping deer away from gardens, crops, and landscaping, preventing them from damaging plants and trees.

   - Determine the area you want to protect with the deer fence.

   - Measure the perimeter to determine the amount of fencing needed.

   - Consider the fence's height, material, and other specifications based on your specific needs and local regulations.

2、Gather Materials and Tools:

   - Purchase the necessary materials, including fence posts, deer fencing material (e.g., mesh or wire), gate hardware, and any additional accessories like tensioning tools and ground anchors.

   - Ensure you have the appropriate tools for installation, such as a post hole digger, level, wire cutters, and fasteners.

3、Marking the Fence Line:

   - Mark the intended fence line using stakes or spray paint. Ensure the line is straight and properly measured.

4、Install Corner and End Posts:

   - Begin by installing corner and end posts, which are typically larger and stronger to provide structural support.

   - Dig post holes at regular intervals along the fence line and set the posts securely in the holes using concrete for stability.

5、Install Line Posts:

   - Space line posts evenly between corner and end posts. The spacing will depend on the fence material and its recommended installation guidelines.

   - Dig holes for the line posts and set them in place, ensuring they are level and properly aligned.

6、Attach the Deer Fencing Material:

   - Unroll the deer fencing material along the fence line, starting at one corner or end post.

   - Secure the fencing material to each post using appropriate fasteners, such as zip ties or fencing staples.

   - Ensure the fencing material is pulled tight and free from sagging.

7、Install Gates:

   - If your fence includes gates for access, install them according to the manufacturer's instructions.

   - Make sure gate openings are properly secured to prevent deer from entering when the gates are open.
