Deer Electric Fencing

A 3d Deer Fence is an effective and economical fencing solution for deer exclusion. Creating a fence that has height, width and depth gives it, a 3 dimensional effect.

The eyes of deer, elk and moose are located on the sides of their head causing poor depth perception. The 3D fencing system creates a visual barrier that will cause deer to approach the fence with a great deal of trepidation. The outer fence is electrified, so when the animals approach the fence for further inspection, and a sniff with their nose, they will receive a shock that will deter them from entering the fenced area.

Although you will see various recommendations for wire heights, 3D fencing systems involve the construction of two fences that are 3 feet apart. The outer fence is usually a single strand, electric fence and the interior fence is usually a 2 or 3 strand fence. With the inner fence 2 wires are used at the 12-18″ and 48-54″ height. With 3 wires install at the 12, 36 & 52″ height marks. The outer fence is a single strand wire located at 24″-36″ height.  With many case studies, 3D fencing has proven itself as a great success as a Deer and wildlife deterrent for over 10 years.

If you are defending against smaller nuisance animals like raccoons as well, you will only need to add additional lower electrified wires to the inner fence to defend against them as well.
