Any info you have on your deer fence, pics? I have to get one built and have seen many ways to go.
I use the cheapo 3" landscaping timbers from HD or Lowes. They sell them in spring for $1.99. We have a ton of them. Some are 3 years old and look like new. We use the 7' poly deer netting. Must have a 1000 feet of it. It's light, easy to handle, easy to store and dead easy to put up and take down. We use zip ties. We choose not to have it up during the winter. I think I'll get around 5 years out of it, easy.
It sure works, and that's the best part. I wait to put it up in spring until prep work is done and take it down quick in fall, for field cleanup work.
I also make the row ends a huge "gate" if you will. I just open up the ends of the gardens and can go in and dig potatoes, cultivate or what have you. It is working well.
