The Fence Post. Desperados Deer are beautiful animals, with incredible natural abilities. Material The two main materials to choose from are metal and plastic; wood is a less common choice. Design The range of designs available for deer fencing is overwhelming. Area The size of the area you want to enclose has an influence on your choice of materials.

Height The height of the fencing you need is governed by the size of deer that live in your area. I have begun trying a motion detecting devise that shoots a burst of water. It protected perennials last summer. We shall see how it works this year. Have you tried this? Asking as I need to put up a fence. I had not reinforced it with the wire needed to keep it taut, so when deer or bear ran into it, it sagged and eventually got damaged. In another location where I did it right and threaded the wire through, it has more than 10 years of service without a single issue.

Our garden club installs gardens for nonprofit organizations, which are without deer fencing. And will never put up fencing. In addition to using the Rutgers site in making resistant choices, we plan to plant the new garden using repellex. Repellex are tablets you put in the planting hole.

Does no one else have to deal with deer, chipmunks and woodchucks? I have everyone but the deer, and would have them, too, if not for my fence. Neil surveyed reputable lists from around the country and gave each a code.

Each plant on his master list is then followed by the codes of every list that included that particular plant. Thanks, Paul, for the detail about the coding system. Very funny, Kinney. Of course a dog is a great partner in the garden, against all pests. My fence never needs feeding or walking, though. The deer come so close to the house that they scare my dog so badly that one night she jumped through the basement window!!

I gave up on gardening several years ago because of the population of wildlife here, in the Mid-Hudson region but this year my son and I are going to begin again in earnest. Wish us luck! The fence is the key, Nancy. I do wish you luck. I have found that just about any fence, four feet or taller will work if you have a German Shepherd that has a dog door for night time guarding. My dog gets out of my bed, ha ha and rus out side and scares the deer away. They only come into the yard once. Way too hard to run away from a big dog like that and jump a fence too.

They choose to never come back. Between the dog and the cat, the rodent population also stay away. Not to mention people with bad intention. Sometimes we make life too hard. I have had four of them over my lifetime, and none of them have ever dug or caused any problem in my gardens. Used to have a cat but he is gone, sadly…so just me and the fence remain! Just be careful if your dog goes after a fawn when the mother deer is nearby. This happened to me yesterday and my dog is now at the emergency Veterinarian.

Sorry to hear that, James. Best wishes that your dog has a speedy recovery. And I never regretted the investment I made in my fence like 20 years ago. Smartest thing I ever did. Interesting little tidbit! In Coxsackie. I liked your comment from your experience in Northern California in putting 2 rows in to keep the deer out.

I know that is more expensive but it does work. Barbed wire is pretty cheap to put up of course. Thanks for this article as I enjoyed it. Hello, this is such a great and complete post, thanks so much for putting together all this insight—all around your own experiences. If deer pressure is really low, you might even get by with a single strand about two feet off the ground.

Deer bump into this, are surprised at something they didn't or can't see, so may flee. Keep in mind deer can't see well poor depth perception , so many advocate hanging streamers on the lower strands or netting so deer can see them and don't just try running through.

Some recommend not putting such ribbon streamers on the top as this tells the deer the fence height. Some have even suggested adding streamers on extensions above the fence, to make deer think it is even taller and so even harder to jump. Some advocate using white streamers to mimic the white tail signal that deer use to warn of danger. There are many variations of electric fences.

You may begin with a single strand, about 30 inches off the ground. Some make this more visible to deer by using bright flagging tape, or conductive polytape. This also helps people avoid these fences by mistake.
