Caring for your Deer Fence

5 Ways to keep your Deer Fencing in top shape!

1. Periodically walk your fence line and remove any limbs, leaves or other debris that is interfering.  Allowing debris to collect along the fence puts unnecessary weight and strain on your fence and it could eventually effect the life span of the fencing.

2. Each year, go to each line post and pull the fencing tight and re-fasten using a zip tie where necessary.  Harsh weather and wildlife activity can shift the fencing and cause it to loosen.  The deer fence will be most effective when everything is straight and taught.

3. Is the fence line really sagging?  Install a cable line along the top line of your deer fencing to keep fence material straight and taught between posts.  If you use the cable and gripple system, gripples can be easily re-tightened or re-used if the cable line ever becomes damaged.

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!
