Deer-Proof Your Garden!



Why do deer jump?  To get what they want- food!  

But a deer will not jump over a fence unless it is necessary, like extreme conditions where it is important to get to the other side.  So to protect your investment, constructing a deer fence is your best, least costly solution.

In order to build a deer fence, you will need a good quality polypropylene fence material or metal deer fencing with a minimum height of 7.5’.  If you have heavy deer population, a strong mono filament cable line is a good idea to run along the top of the polypropylene fence for added durability and strength.  This cable line also prevents the fencing from sagging between posts - keeping your fence looking great at all times!

If your garden attracts small critters that like to munch, a chew guard barrier would be a good idea to keep those pesky little animals from chewing away at your veggies and flowers!

Benner’s Gardens has taken the guess work of your planning with our all-inclusive garden kits!  Our kits are available in 100’ and 330’ so the only thing you need to know is how many feet of fence you need for your garden.  We do everything else for you!

Our kits include everything you need to construct a deer fence barrier and they are super easy to install!

It's Feeling Like Spring!

Spring is coming, and if you're a gardener you know that getting your gardens ready is on the top of your to do list!  You put in so much hard work to make your gardens look beautiful, but it doesn't just stop once a plant is in the ground.  You must maintain the plant- feed, water and PROTECT! 

Protecting your plants from hungry deer and other wildlife can sometimes be a hassle.  Figuring out how to do it and what materials you will need can be challenging.  Some recommend spraying on animal repellents, hanging certain household items to "scare away" and deter the animals,  and lots of other crazy ideas! Lucky for you, we have tested and perfected the best method for protecting your landscape from hungry critters- a physical barrier. If an animal is hungry enough, unfortunately repellents and other tactics will simply not work.

PLANTS BEING DESTROYED? PROTECT YOUR INVESTMENT FROM RABBITS & RODENTS

Rabbits and other rodents like to chew and dig and repairing and maintaining the damage is costly and tiring.  To protect your gardens, there are many products available, but a physical barrier is one of the best choices.
A physical barrier is the only sure way to keep rabbits, groundhogs and other critters out of your gardens.  Animal repellents only last so long and require repeat applications in order to continue deterring the animal.  A great option for a barrier would be a small fence that is strong enough to withstand chewing and digging.  Fencing is a one-time installation that requires minimal maintenance and can even be used temporarily or seasonally.
Metal Hex Wire fencing is a good example of a barrier that is easy to install, virtually invisible and keeps rodents from destroying your gardens. This metal hex wire fence makes a great rodent barrier as it is strong enough to withstand chewing and gnawing of rabbits and other small animals. It is a steel hex wire mesh fence that is manufactured of 20 gauge galvanized wire coated with a black PVC coating for added durability.
In addition to protection, it offers easy installation to homeowners as a reliable way to manage wildlife while easily protecting your property. The barrier attaches easily to any type of post using zip ties or fencing staples.  For smaller areas and for protection only from small critters,  angle posts can be easily cut down and pushed into the ground for a basic barrier with great protection. 
This style metal fencing is available in a variety of sizes, starting at 2’h up to 7.5’h so it can also be used as a full deer fence in it’s larger size.  Use with a heavier duty style post and give your garden a complete enclosure, safe from deer and rodents! This metal fencing is the best choice if you’re looking for heavy duty deer fencing that is easy to install and maintain.
