Recommended Tools & Supplies

Plastic Garden Fence Roll

Lightweight polypropylene mesh — rolls up for off-season storage

Metal Garden Netting

More rigid than plastic — holds shape better against deer pressure

Electric Poultry Netting

Electrified mesh keeps deer, rabbits, and foxes out — moves easily

Step-In Fence Posts

Push into ground by foot — no tools, no damage, easy to move

Metal Fence Stakes

Stronger than plastic for taller netting or windier locations

Zip Ties Heavy Duty

Attach net to posts and close corners without tools

Gate Stakes / Clip Set

Create a simple open-close gate section without permanent hardware

Pro Tips

✓ Plastic mesh is cheapest and easiest to move but won't stop determined deer
✓ Electric poultry netting is the most effective temp option — one zap trains most animals
✓ Step-in posts go in and out in seconds — ideal for seasonal gardens
✓ Overlap netting ends by 12 inches at corners to close gaps animals find quickly
✓ Roll mesh onto a PVC pipe for clean off-season storage without tangling
