deer fence installers

21 years ago

We have herds of deer in our yard all the time; we have concluded (reluctantly) that we need to put in a deer fence which would involve an aluminum fence for portions along the front of our property, and the very high mesh around the sides and back. Does anyone have anyone to recommend for this job?

I don't know anyone that installs them, but I put one up myself a couple of years ago and the deer easily jumped over it. It was 7' high. I have a 6' high solid privacy fence that they never jump over.

If you do get one, I suggest either getting one 10' high or getting one that they can't see through.
