![]() ![]() ✔ Insulators Match insulators to the type of posts you’re using. For semi-permanent installations, fiberglass rods make excellent line posts between corners and are less $$ than wood or steel. Their stiffness withstand strain over long periods to keep conductors tight. ![]() ✔ Posts Use strong wood or metal posts for corners. Weed growth under electrified ropes needs to be removed or sprayed once each summer. Black and white is the most visible to humans and fast moving deer (slow ones too). They last longer in semi-permanent and permanent situations. Key components you’ll need: ✔ Rope Conductors Conductors that are 4.5mm and 6.0mm in diameter are best. Managed without an awareness of how a deer herd interacts with fences.Installed at the wrong time (after the herd’s habit is ingrained).It’s been our experience that electric fences for deer fail because: The only 100% deer barrier is a solid wall at least 8 ft tall! A desperate animal may risk the pain-which is why you can’t keep out starving deer with electric fencing if the site is their only food source. The pain encourages deer to find a less risky “restaurant,” trail or bedding ground. They will check it with their sensitive noses and receive a memorable electric shock. When a deer encounters a 3D fence, they are more likely to approach it cautiously. So, when facing a fence that has height, length and depth, deer are more tentative than with a fence that’s only “2D” (tall and wide, but not deep).Įxperts tell us the depth perception of species with side-of-the-head eye placement (deer, horses) is less than for species with both eyes in front (cattle, humans). Scent caps are attached to the electrified rope at intervals to entice deer to first touch the rope with their noses.Įlectric fences use pain to raise the “cost” (the degree of risk and effort to use an area) and persuade deer that it is safer and less frightening to feed, rub or trail elsewhere.ĭeer experience “landing anxiety” before they decide to jump over something. A fence energizer provides the high-voltage, high-energy shock to instill fear in the animal. They combine to make a barrier that has both depth and height-hence 3D. It’s two fences of electrified rope set 3 ft apart. It’s low cost, easy to maintain, and has a proven record of protecting orchards, food plots, vineyards and newly planted trees from troublesome deer. The “3D” design is simple in design and installation. ![]()
