How Tos
Anyone who has an orchard or garden know how frustrating it is to work day in and day out only to regain that cervid have eat on your lettuce , trample your tomatoes , pull in up white turnip and carrot , bankrupt your flower beds , rip the leaves off your young apple Tree , or eaten the fruits in good order off the trees .
And anyone who has put up cervid fencing live how expensive that can be . create a 10 - foot wire deer fencing is just not pragmatic for many multitude , so here ’s how to establish a cheap but efficient deer fence .
Materials
Instructions
Creating the fence
The higher the fence , the better results you will have .
Creating the gate
This concluding berth will act as the logic gate . Put the last post either in or out of the pipe when you need to shut or give the logic gate .
To hold the top two posts together , just take some type of “ O ” ring that would fit over the two posts or use some eccentric of latch to bear them in place .
How it works
Once your fencing is done and a deer comes around in the daytime or the middle of the Nox , the cervid can not see the clear 30 - pound test line . When they brush up against it , they can feel it and know the something is there , yet they ca n’t see it . The cervid has no mind how eminent it needs to jump to get over the obstacle it has just walk into and they will continue away from the expanse .
It ’s important to apply only 30 - pound test line . Anything lower than that and the deer have a tendency to break the line when they brush up or tilt against it . Anything over 30 - pound note , they can see . This is also why you do n’t want to use any colored or braided line ; it ’s easier for the cervid to see it .
Another very important tip : Do not put any word of advice flags or signs on the line . This will only order the cervid how eminent they would want to bound to get over the fencing .
When you ’re done , the fence should look as though there are mail with nothing between them . You should hardly be able to see the bloodline tie to the posts , if at all .
