Best Fence For Aggressive Deer

by Jenn Smith July 13, 2020

Deer are beautiful and graceful animals; but they lose their lust with home growers after they are found devouring all of their plants. While deer are generally calm animals, they may try to chew or head-butt their ways into the growing site and break certain fences if they want to eat plants badly enough. Here is the best fence type to use when dealing with aggressive deer herds:

Metal deer fencing is the stronger big brother to plastic fencing and is recommended to homeowners dealing with aggressive deer on properties. Deer can be known to break through plastic fencing that is made for light to moderate deer pressure; but they have trouble breaking through certain types of metal deer fencing that includes PVC-coating as a secondary layer of protection against chew marks.

Deer can become specially aggressive when mating season occurs (fall season) and fawns are born (springtime). Prepare for changes in deer behavior during these season by installing the right type of fence early on.
