FENCE INSTALLATION: MAIN MENU

The menu below and its related pages provide all the essentials that a homeowner or landscaper needs to know in order to install an effective deer fence that will last for many years. The instructions are not complex, but they have been made detailed and fairly lengthy in order to cover a wide range of possible circumstances. These deer fence installation guidelines are organized by main headings (see bold face heads below), some of which have only one or two component pages (see "Preparation" for example) while others like "Finishing Touches, Gates, and Maintenance" may have as many as five or six. To reach a particular deer fence installation topic, simply click on that topic. Use smaller menus at the top of each page to navigate the site, or use the "back to main menu" or "continue" lines at the bottom of each page to return to this menu or proceed to the next page.
