Pros and Cons of Plastic Deer Fence

by Jenn Smith May 07, 2020

Plastic Deer Fence is a great alternative to electric deer fence for growers that have had enough of deer damage on their property. Plastic deer fencing is not only easy to install, but it is long-lasting and weather-resistant. This type of fencing is often used to secure small dogs in yards and is a more humane pet fence option than invisible dog fencing.

The only negative against plastic fence is that the fence mesh is not chew-resistant. Therefore, homeowners with heavy deer pressure, and those dealing with chewing animals on landscapes, may be better off upgrading to a steel fence with PVC. Metal fences are stronger than plastic and include PVC as a secondary layer of protection.

While both types of deer fences are desirable for deer management, it's best to choose the right type for individual needs and applications.
