FAQS on chicken wire deer fence

Q: Is chicken wire effective for a deer fence?

A: Yes, chicken wire can deter deer if installed properly. Its small mesh size and sturdy structure make it difficult for deer to push through. However, taller heights (7-8 feet) are recommended for full protection.

Q: How to install a chicken wire deer fence?

A: Measure the area, set sturdy posts (wood/metal) every 6-8 feet, and attach the chicken wire tightly using staples or zip ties. Bury the bottom 6-12 inches underground to prevent digging.

Q: Can square chicken wire fence work as a deer barrier?

A: Square mesh chicken wire is suitable for deer fencing due to its durability and rigidity. Pair it with taller posts and secure anchoring to withstand deer pressure.

Q: What gauge chicken wire is best for deer fencing?

A: Opt for 19-gauge or thicker galvanized chicken wire. Thicker gauges (e.g., 16-gauge) provide extra strength against persistent deer.

Q: Does a chicken wire deer fence last long?

A: Galvanized chicken wire fences can last 5-10 years with proper maintenance. Regular checks for rust, gaps, or damage ensure longevity in outdoor conditions.
