For roe deer you will need 6' high fencing. The alternative is to put low fencing round small areas that they can't jump into. The knack is to have it far enough away from the plant without there being room for them to jump in safely. We have used this in one or two places to protect individual coppice stools in the woods.
You can buy 6' and probably 2m plastic deer mesh. Tenex is the best, but you can buy own brands from some agricultural suppliers. We found for reasonable areas, put in strainers at the corners, and posts in between, put wire, top, bottom and middle and attach the plastic to all 3 with 'pig rings'. For best results also use rabbit mesh at the bottom as badgers, mice etc. nibble neat holes in the bottom to get through.
Not exactly what you want, but you might find the strainers, posts, wire and ring attachment gives you the best results. |
