Deer Fencing in Nottingham

The defining requirement is height. Deer are strong jumpers, so a standard stock or garden fence simply won't stop them — deer fencing is built significantly taller (commonly around 1.8m–2m, higher under real pressure) specifically so they can't clear it. The mesh also has to be close enough at the bottom that they can't push or crawl under, and tensioned tightly enough that they can't force through. Get the height or the tension wrong and deer will find the weakness fast, so the spec is everything on a deer fence.

We use purpose-made high-tensile deer or stock mesh designed for tall runs, strained tight rather than left to sag. As with any wire fence, the straining is what makes it work: substantial straining posts properly braced at ends, corners, and intervals, line wires tensioned, and the mesh stretched drum-tight against them. Over the long runs that woodland and field boundaries involve, a poorly strained deer fence goes baggy and stops being a barrier — so the posts and tensioning are where the job is, and where we don't cut corners.

Deer fencing protects different things across the area: rural and edge-of-village gardens where deer browse ornamental planting and vegetables; allotments and crop plots; orchards; and — very commonly — new woodland and tree planting, where deer will browse young trees and rub bark off, killing saplings. New planting schemes often need deer fencing around the whole compartment until the trees are established. We'll match the fence to what you're protecting and how long it needs to do the job.

A deer fence needs deer-proof access — gates built to the same height and tension as the fence, since a low or gappy gate undoes the whole barrier. We hang field and pedestrian gates to suit access for machinery, maintenance, and people. Deer fencing can also be combined with stock fencing where you're containing livestock and excluding deer on the same boundary, or with a timber line where appearance matters near the house. We'll design the combination for the site.
