What is deer fencing and how does it work?
Simply put, deer fencing is a type of fence used specifically to prevent deer from entering an enclosed area. Farmers use deer fencing to protect their crops from getting damaged by deer looking for a fast, easy meal. Vineyard operators also use deer fencing to prevent deer from eating away at grapes and other plants. A deer fence is often required because regular fences are not effective at preventing deer from entering protected areas.
Some deer are capable of jumping up to eight feet in the air which unfortunately is higher than most fences. This is why, in many cases, a specialized type of fence is required. A deer fence is designed using strong, sturdy materials and is installed at a greater height than most traditional fences.
