Best Height For Deer Fence

Dec 11th 2017

If you are in the market for a garden fence for deer control, you have noticed that fence types come in different materials, colors and sizes. 

DeerbustersCanada deer fencing is available in black. The reason for the black color is simple: the color blends-in with the surroundings; so, the homeowner does not need to sacrifice beautiful views of landscape. 

Now, what is the ideal height of a deer fence? White-tailed deer can jump over 7' high - some even declare they've seen deer jump 10' feet high - however, whitetails do not like to jump over 7' unless they are being chased by a wildlife predator such as a wolf or coyote. For this reason, the perfect deer fence height is between 7.5'-8' tall. These heights ensure that deer will not jump over the fence and into the garden. 

Deer will always try to walk the perimeter, then dig underneath the fence, before attempting the jump. Remember to use fence accessories, such as ground stakes, to prevent digging animals from reaching gardens from the bottom of the fence.
