White tailed deer can jump 8+ feet high, and by then your backyard attains somewhat of a prison feel.
- zwieback 12y agoI've seen the jump vertically 10 feet, hover, and then squeeze through a 4" hole in a deer fence... No, I'm using wire covers over my raised beds. Luckily some plants appear to be safe, so far, e.g. tomatoes and peppers.
- kahirsch 12y agoA slanted fence can be much shorter and can be cheaper, but it uses a bit more area. [1] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PbRRgIbYKgw http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PbRRgIbYKgw [2] http://anr.ext.wvu.edu/r/download/51668 http://anr.ext.wvu.edu/r/download/51668 (PDF)
- GigabyteCoin 12y agoUnfortunately when most homeowners are living on 20' * 100' subdivisioned plot of land, giving up a few feet of perimeter real estate is next to impossible. Perhaps we will begin to see gated communities that promise to keep deer and wildlife out of residents' backyards? A smaller version of the australian rabbit fence if you will.
