You will need deer netting for Muntjac as they will easily get through your fence and larger breeds have been regularly seen vaulting a ten feet hedge above ground we placed last year along our drive.
@paulwood77982 жыл бұрын
I should say the hedge is an established hedge on a four nearly five feet hedge bank that we tidied up and laid. We didn't plant a ten foot hedge.

So the proper top rail height is at a comfortable leaning height. Which means my second rail needs to be a good height for me to sit on the top rail and prop my feet at the most stable angle for my knee bend. I almost never have the luxury of building fences on flat level ground so that laser level may not do me much good on my hilly land. Your fence looks good and you put some good thought into it. Good work.

Deer in the paddock where you’re putting your vegetables. That’s sounds like another fencing job in late summer! On our allotments the deer in winter strip all the overwintering Brassica’s.
