Deer Fence

A deer fence is a sturdy barrier specifically designed to safeguard gardens, crops, and landscapes from deer intrusion. Constructed from durable materials like poly mesh or metal, these fences offer reliable protection while harmonizing with their surroundings. Typically standing at heights of 7 to 8 feet, they effectively deter deer from jumping over. Black PVC-coated mesh or metal fencing is particularly favored as a deer deterrent for its strength and near-invisible appearance, allowing it to blend seamlessly into the landscape without being visually obtrusive.

Benefits of a Deer Fence

Protection of Plants and Crops With Deer Fencing

• Minimizing Damage: Without a deer fence, deer can trample plants, forage the new growth of plants, disturb soil, and even damage trees by rubbing against them.

Reduced Spread of Diseases

• Protection from Deer-Borne Diseases: Deer can carry diseases such as Lyme disease and other tick-borne illness (via deer ticks) as well as chronic wasting disease (CWD). By keeping deer out, a deer fence helps lower the risk of exposure to these health threats.
• Preventing Disease Spread to Livestock: In agricultural settings, deer can transmit diseases to livestock, so a deer fence helps ensure healthier farm animals. Ticks can spread tickborne disease and illness to both bovine and equine.

Cost Savings Over Time

• Reduction in Plant Replacement Costs: By preventing deer from damaging valuable plants, you save on costs for replacing landscaping, ornamental plants, gardens or crops, potentially offsetting the initial fence investment over time.
• Lower Maintenance Costs: High-quality deer fences, such as metal or poly mesh, require minimal maintenance once installed, leading to long-term savings compared to other deterrents like sprays or repellents.

Environmentally Friendly and Humane Deer Fencing

• Non-Lethal Solution: Unlike hunting or trapping, deer fences offer a humane way to keep deer out without harming them. Deer friendly fencing is the best option.
• No Chemicals or Pesticides: Deer fences provide an eco-friendly option, avoiding the need for chemical repellents or pesticides that may negatively affect other wildlife and plants.

Deer Fence Versatility and Customization

• Adaptable to Different Landscapes: Deer fences can be customized to suit various terrains, including hilly or uneven ground, making them highly versatile.
• Adjustable Heights: While most deer fences are built at 7-8 feet, some areas may require even taller fences, offering flexibility for your specific needs.
• Can Accommodate Other Features: Deer fences can also incorporate gates or visual barriers for added security and usability.

Deer Fence Durability and Longevity

• Long-Term Solution: High-quality deer fences made from metal or poly mesh are designed to last many years, offering a more durable solution than short-term options like repellents or temporary barriers.
• Weather Resistant: Deer fences are built to withstand tough weather conditions like snow, wind, and rain, ensuring consistent performance across various climates.

Increased Property Value

• Enhanced Curb Appeal: For homeowners, a deer fence can improve the visual appeal of a property by keeping landscapes intact, free from deer damage.
• Protection for Investment: Whether you’ve invested in landscaping or crops, a deer fence helps safeguard that investment, which can also be attractive to potential buyers.

Peace of Mind

• Reduced Worry About Damage: Once installed, a deer fence offers peace of mind, knowing that your plants, flowers, or crops are protected from deer.
• Improved Wildlife Management: In areas with large deer populations, a deer fence helps manage human-wildlife interactions, reducing the chance of accidents or disruptions caused by deer.

A deer fence offers long-term protection, supports sustainable practices, and helps maintain a balanced relationship between human activities and local wildlife.
