Most of the deer fence is surprisingly cheap. 5 strand barbed wire (or
maybe it's 6) was $1.25-$1.50/ft and the electic inner fence was less
than $1/ft. That's contractor built, including labor. Of course the
decorative cattle panel and pipe front portion was pretty expensive.
But, less than $3/ft for deer fence looks real attractive to me. That
was before recent steel cost increases. Last year I priced 8' "real"
deer fence; it was at least $7/ft.
I notice that the fence is now four years old, not three as I stated in
the previous post. Just before I had that fence built, we had a very
interesting and educational discussion here on deer control.
