Most of what you find elsewhere in big box stores is deer netting you can break apart with your hands, making it unsuitable for deer exclusion. If you can break it with your hands, then it won’t hold up as deer fencing. What’s more, most deer fences are highly visible and break up the landscape. The best deer fence is one that will repel any size of deer running into the fence at any speed.

Single-strand electric wire fences, which may work for a short time, will eventually fail and do not make good deer fences. Electric fences are great for farm animals that you can train to not touch a fence, but deer are wild animals and will frequently run into the fence and break it before they learn. Most deer fences are set up through wooded areas, allowing stony debris such as tree branches to cancel out the electric fence. There is no comparison between electric and physical mesh fencing for long-term deer exclusion.

If a deer fence is too visible, deer will try to jump it. The key is to create a fence that’s strong enough that deer will bounce off the fence, but not so visible that they can effectively judge jumping height. A good example of a bad deer fence is a chain link fence with a top rail or bar at the top — the topper is a clear benchmark for deer to try to clear when jumping. Our deer fence, invisible from up to 25 feet, prevents deer from trying to jump over the top. If they can’t tell where the top of the barrier is, they will walk away.

If you install a fence with large openings, deer can get stuck in your fence and get hurt or die. This happens most often with heavy-gauge welded wire, field fence, or farm fencing that gets installed as a deer fence. We never recommend any deer fencing with an opening size greater than 2″×4″ for this reason.

Deer fences not only help protect your garden or landscaping, but also control ticks and the diseases they carry, like Lyme Disease. Some customers specifically install deer fencing for tick control to keep themselves and their pets healthy. Since deer are the primary host for deer ticks, excluding deer from your property dramatically lowers the tick population in the enclosed area.
