Deer-Proof Garden Fence
“It confuses deer because there are no posts or tight fences they can jump,” says Don.
He uses 2 by 4-in. woven wire fence that’s 5 or 6 ft. high. The wire is cut into 10-ft. lengths and formed in semi circles, which are then connected together by bent wire ends. Tent pegs are used at the base.
“No gate is needed – I just open any section to enter,” says Pace. “I’ve used this idea on 2 different gardens and used both 5 and 6-ft. high fences, with equally good results. No deer has penetrated either garden. The deer are eating gourd vines that grow through the fence, but they can’t get inside.”
