Garden & Deer Fences
Good-looking garden enclosures that keep rabbits, deer, dogs and kids out of the beds.
Keeping rabbits out takes small-opening wire buried or bent outward at the base. Keeping deer out takes height (often 7 to 8 feet) or a double fence, since deer jump. A wood-framed garden fence with black welded wire and an arbor gate gives most Charlotte vegetable gardens the protection they need and looks good doing it.
Styles
- Cedar frame with welded wire: classic potager look, sturdy and see-through
- Black vinyl-coated chain link: affordable and long-lasting for community gardens
- Picket with wire backing: cottage-garden style for front yards
- Tall deer fencing: black poly or metal mesh on posts, nearly invisible from a distance
Keep critters out
- Rabbits: small-opening wire buried a few inches or bent outward
- Groundhogs: deeper buried wire
- Deer: height or a double fence
- Dogs: a gate that latches every time
Community gardens
