Choosing the Ideal Garden Fence

Whether you’re just getting into gardening, or you’ve been doing it for years, it makes a lot of sense to pick out a good quality fence to protect your crops. The right fence will help keep pests out, and it will also keep children and pets from digging through your garden. When choosing garden fencing you need to consider both the looks and the function of the fencing. Obviously it has to keep the trouble pests out of your garden, but if it’s in a prominent location of your home you’ll likely want to make it look nice as well. 

Wood Picket Fence

For larger animals a wood picket fence can work fine as a deterrent. Not only will these fences help keep pests out when installed properly, but they look nice as well. To really enhance the protection they offer you can do a few different things. To keep deer out install two rows of fencing with a three foot gap in between. For smaller animals add some chicken wire down at the bottom of the fencing to prevent digging and to create smaller holes of entry. 

Livestock Fencing

Livestock fencing is often used in larger gardens and farms to keep out pests. This fencing is combined with fiber fence or chicken wire to keep small pests out. It can also be electrified to help keep out larger animals effectively. 

Chain Link Fence

Though most people won’t rely on chain link fencing around a garden, it’s particularly effective. It will keep out the small pests, and is often tall enough to keep out larger animals as well. To top it all off, chain link is easy to maintain and affordable to have installed at your home. 

No matter what size garden you have, there is an effective way for you to fence it off against wildlife. Once you have the fence up your garden will be free to grow and thrive. Just make sure you know what sort of wildlife you’re trying to deter before you hire a company to put fencing in for you, so you can get the right type of fencing to keep them out.
