Thanks, Alan, for the notes from Premier.
We have successfully kept deer out of a 1/2 acre market garden for 10
years (more or less) using 2 to 3 strands of electric tape from Premier
Fencing. We think it works because it is about 3/4 inch wide, white,
and visible to the deer. We think they are curious about it, get
shocked when they investigate, and from then on avoid it. (My two dogs
likewise try to avoid it.) The lower tape is about 2 feet from the
ground, the higher one about 4 feet, and a third tape set a little
inside or outside the others. Premier sells poly posts that are easy to
set in the ground, so it is easy to move the fence.
