Build Vegetable Garden Fence

However if small children are part of the household this can pose a danger.

Build vegetable garden fence.

In the long stretch in this photo we ended up adding another 4x4 post to the center of the expanse. Two of the posts were placed close together to serve as gate posts. A gate if it s tall enough to keep deer out anything should work step 1. Next we screwed 1x4 boards across the top bottom and center of the space.

A more robust option is to build dual vegetable garden fences deer are confused by multiple obstacles. You can really use any size boards. He put one in each corner first and i believe he tied some string between the posts to place the other ones in straight lines. The simplest recommendation for deer is an 8 foot high wire mesh garden border fence.

At least four wooden posts will be needed one for each corner of a square fence. Ensure that the second fence is visible. Wood or stone is also an option. 3 thick bamboo canes 3 x 6 or longer or 4 x 4 posts pressure treated staples galvanized staple gun.

Nails galvanized hammer or nail gun. Once you ve plotted the area that the fence will surround and gathered all necessary supplies use a post hole digger or an auger to dig holes at each corner for your wooden posts which will anchor the entire garden fence. The more solid the fence the less likely deer will be to jump over it. A more expensive yet highly effective choice is that of a sonic fence.

We began by putting 4x4 posts in each corner of the area we mapped out as the garden. To build the fence around my vegetable garden my husband started out putting in 8 foot posts 4 4 inches or so around. This option requires building a 3 foot high fence built approximately 3 feet inside the previously recommended 8 foot high garden border fence.
