Deer Fence: No more browsed shoots
Deer love fresh buds, roses, lettuce and young fruit trees. If you live on the edge of a wood or look after a Christmas tree plantation, you know the nibbled shoots you find in the morning. An electric deer fence with wide tape is a simple, highly visible solution. Deer notice the tape early, learn the boundary on first contact and then avoid the area. That protects your plants without injuring the deer.
Two sets for different areas
The Deer Fence Complete Set 12 V Solar is designed for larger areas of up to 200 m, such as orchards, tree nurseries or big gardens with no socket nearby. The solar panel powers the energiser, so you hardly need to think about electricity. The Deer Fence Starter Set 230 V covers 60 m and suits smaller gardens and vegetable beds where you can plug the energiser into the mains. Both sets include the tape you need to build a clearly visible fence quickly.
How to keep the deer fence tight
Deer jump well, but they do not like jumping over something they cannot judge. So run the tape at several heights to create a visible barrier. Keep the line clear of long grass so no voltage is lost. It is best to put the fence up before the deer get used to the area, in spring before the first shoots appear. Once a deer has become used to a garden, it often takes a few days before it respects the fence, so be patient during the first week.
Frequently asked questions
How high does a deer fence need to be?
An electric deer fence does not need to be as high as a wire fence, because the current is the deterrent. In many gardens, several highly visible strands of tape up to roughly chest height are enough.
Does the current hurt the deer?
No, the pulse is short and unpleasant but harmless. The deer learns from it and avoids the fence from then on.
Can I take the deer fence down in winter?
You can, but winter is exactly when deer like to browse buds and bark on young trees. If your plants are at risk, it is better to leave it up and check it after snowfall.
Keep deer out of your garden gently
Nibbled roses, gnawed fruit trees and vanished lettuces in homes near woodland are often down to deer. An electric deer fence with wide tape stops this without you having to build a tall mesh fence. The tape is easy to see, and deer learn on first contact to avoid the area. The complete set with 12 V solar protects up to 200 m and suits orchards and plantations with no power supply. For smaller gardens, the starter set with 230 V for 60 m is enough. Run the tape at several heights, keep it clear of vegetation and ideally put the fence up in spring, before the first shoots tempt the deer in. At first it is worth checking the fence every day until you can see the deer respecting the boundary. After that, a look once a week and after every storm is usually enough.
