When buying deer fence, customers sometimes get confused over the height of deer fence vs the size of their heavy duty line posts. When they get the pallet of deer fencing at their doorstep, they freak: "Oh no, did I order the wrong stuff?"

Those looking for an 8' foot height deer fence height will require 9' foot high fence posts. This is because fence installers will lose a foot when dropping posts into ground sleeves. 

By giving more, fence companies satisfy the height requirements that the homeowner desires of the fence.
