Choosing and Installing Fence Posts
When it comes to setting up the fence, we recommend utilizing our galvanized fence posts, available in a range of heights to suit your specific requirements. These posts should be strategically spaced approximately 6 to 10 feet apart to provide optimal support and stability for the fencing. Installing the fence is made straightforward with the use of ground posts, which can be driven 2 feet into the ground to securely anchor the fence posts. For a neat and finished look, our PVC End Caps are ideal for capping off each post. Moreover, for corners, our Corner Post Assembly enhances the overall structural integrity of the fence, ensuring it remains strong and effective over time.
Alternative Fiberglass Fence Posts
If you prefer a more flexible and durable option, consider our Fiberglass Fence Posts, available in various lengths. These posts offer the flexibility of bamboo without the risk of rotting or rusting like traditional steel posts. Installation is straightforward and similar to galvanized posts, eliminating the need for additional ground posts.
Supporting the Fence with Cable and Ties
To provide added support to your deer fence, use either galvanized steel or stainless steel cable at the top, securely fastened with cable clamps to ensure stability. Nylon cable ties play a crucial role in attaching the cable securely to the fence and posts, preventing any potential sagging or displacement.
Enhancing Visibility with Flagging Ribbon
Boost the visibility of your deer fence by attaching brightly colored flagging ribbon at regular intervals. This serves as a visual deterrent for deer, alerting them to the presence of the barrier and discouraging any attempts to breach it.
Securing Netting with Staples
Ensure that the netting is firmly secured by using stainless steel fence staples on surrounding trees and heavy-duty ground staples in the soil, spaced every 12 feet. This prevents deer from finding any openings underneath the fence, maintaining the integrity of the enclosure.
Deer Deterrence and Fence Effectiveness
For maximum effectiveness, position flagging ribbons at eye level for optimal visibility to deer. As deer become accustomed to the fence, these ribbons can be gradually removed. Our fencing system works by creating a solid and imposing barrier that confuses deer about the fence’s height, effectively deterring them from entering your garden or orchard. This proactive approach not only safeguards your plants but also reduces the risk of wildlife-related damage, ensuring a flourishing outdoor space for years to come.
Conclusion
Establishing a robust Deer Fencing System using quality materials like Poly Mesh Netting, galvanized or fiberglass fence posts, and strong cable and ties is a highly effective strategy for protecting your garden or orchard from deer and other wildlife. Enhancing fence visibility with flagging ribbon and ensuring secure installation with staples contributes to its long-term effectiveness. By implementing this proactive approach, you not only safeguard your plants and orchard but also create a serene and worry-free outdoor space where you can fully enjoy the fruits of your labor without concerns about wildlife interference or disease transmission.
