These fence kits don't include a rodent barrier and don't overlap on the ground. That means for example if you order a 7 1/2 foot fence kit, we will ship you posts that come out of the ground 7 1/2 feet and 7 1/2 foot tall deer fence. This configuration is great for customers protecting arborvitae or other shrubs, for example. It's also a great choice for customers that need to take down their fence seasonally or for a removable deer fence. Included ground sleeves stay in the ground, while posts and fencing are removed for storage.
