Fence Center Provides Protection from Deer Overpopulation

Deer overpopulation is a pressing concern for landowners across the country. Our white-tailed friends – which were, once upon a time, a state-protected rarity – have been multiplying in number since the early 1900s.[1]  In suburban and rural areas from the East Coast to the Rockies, white-tailed deer are the culprits of crop, plant, and property destruction and are also a direct threat to humans, causing both cases of Lyme disease and frequent automobile accidents.

Though there is no simple solution to the problem of deer overpopulation; farmers, landowners, foresters, and gardeners can effectively and humanely protect their properties by installing high-quality deer fencing.

Fence Center distributes protective deer fence products to residential and commercial property owners nationwide.  Their strong, durable line of fencing products helps thousands of individuals and businesses to protect their properties each year.

Why should you install protective deer fencing?

Here are four excellent reasons:

1. Deer fencing is essential to the protection of plants, crops, and gardens – and to the preservation of biodiversity. White-tailed deer are responsible not only for the destruction of residential gardens and plants, but also for large-scale forest degradation.[2]

2. Deer fences are stronger than lower-quality netting options.   Fence Center’s deer fences durable and long-lasting.  They are made of carbon black, corrosion proof materials and are much stronger than the more commonly manufactured polypropylene deer fences on the market today, as well as lower-quality netting that can be found in most hardware stores. 

3. Deer fencing is humane.  Unlike older perimeter fences made of electric and wire materials, Fence Center’s deer fencing is designed with safe materials in heights of over 7 ½ feet that will safely deter deer from your property, rather than harm them.

4. Deer fencing is easy to install – it attaches to both round fence posts and angle steel line posts. In fact, you can reference this series of online deer fence installation videos to install your fence today.
