The best way to keep deer out of your garden, flower bed, field, yard or orchard
What happens here
Begin by installing the fence posts that will support the electric wires around the perimeter of the area you wish to protect. These posts can be T-posts (steel), other metal posts, or plastic posts. The presenter uses a combination of T-posts and smaller, flexible plastic posts. Ensure a consistent spacing of approximately 3 feet between posts to maintain the fence's integrity and visual effect. The first wire will be at 18 inches, the second at 36 inches, and the third at 54 inches from the ground.
Goal: Set up the physical framework for the electric deer fence
