Deer Fencing Planned Around What You Protect
Repeated deer browsing and trampling can damage crops, young trees, gardens, landscaping, orchards, nurseries, and food plots. Professional deer fencing creates a physical barrier designed to reduce deer access and protect valuable growing areas.
Farmland Fencing installs deer fencing throughout the Chicago area for farms, orchards, agricultural fields, gardens, nurseries, rural properties, and landscaped areas. Each system is planned around the protected area, deer pressure, terrain, fence height, ground clearance, gates, equipment access, corners, bracing, maintenance, and future expansion.
Dependable deer fencing combines suitable height with limited ground clearance, strong corners, correct bracing, secure gates, and consistent tension.
Fence Options
Deer Exclusion Fence Options
The right deer-control system depends on what is being protected, local pressure, fence length, terrain, vegetation, access needs, appearance, maintenance, and budget. Some properties benefit from a single physical barrier; others need reinforcement at likely pressure points.
Woven-Wire Fencing
A strong physical barrier for orchards, gardens, nurseries, crops, and other protected areas requiring dependable deer exclusion.
High-Tensile Fencing
A strong, efficient system for longer deer-exclusion routes, planned with appropriate wire spacing, tension, corners, and bracing.
Electric Fencing
An energized deer-control option or reinforcement system that requires proper design, grounding, vegetation control, and maintenance.
Post-and-Wire Fencing
A practical system combining suitable posts, wire configuration, spacing, tension, and bracing around protected growing areas.
Gate Installation
Secure access points planned for workers, mowers, tractors, trailers, deliveries, and maintenance without weakening the enclosure.
Fencing Repair
Repair or reinforce damaged deer fencing, failed posts, loose wire, weak corners, ground gaps, and problem gate openings.
More Than Materials
Plan for Height, Ground Clearance, and Access
Effective deer fencing depends on more than selecting a fence material. Deer pressure, fence height, ground clearance, terrain, corners, gates, nearby vegetation, access requirements, and maintenance must be considered as one complete exclusion system.
Planning the entire enclosure helps prevent low sections, ground-level gaps, weak corners, open gates, and other vulnerable areas that deer may use to enter.

Our Process
From Protected-Area Review to Finished Deer Fence
01. Review the Property and Deer Pressure
We discuss what needs protection, the size and shape of the area, visible deer activity, nearby cover, terrain, existing fencing, access requirements, equipment routes, gates, and future plans.
02. Plan the Exclusion System
Fence route, height, ground clearance, material, post spacing, corners, bracing, wire tension, gates, and vulnerable entry points are planned around the protected area.
03. Install the Deer Fence
Posts, braces, wire, gates, and reinforcement components are installed to maintain suitable height, consistent tension, limited ground clearance, secure access, and dependable long-term exclusion.
Deer Fencing FAQs
Questions About Deer Fencing
What type of fence is best for deer?
The best system depends on what you are protecting, deer pressure, the size of the enclosure, terrain, vegetation, access, maintenance, appearance, and budget. Tall woven wire is a common physical barrier, while high-tensile and electric components may be suitable for some layouts or reinforcement needs.
How much does deer fencing cost?
Cost depends on the protected area, fence length and height, materials, post spacing, corners and braces, terrain, clearing, gate quantity and size, equipment access, electric components, and whether existing fencing must be repaired, removed, or replaced. A site-specific estimate is the most reliable approach.
Should electric fencing be added to a deer fence?
Electric reinforcement may help discourage deer from approaching or pressuring a physical barrier and can add control at selected vulnerable sections. Its suitability depends on the layout, deer behavior, grounding conditions, vegetation, power source, visibility, safety, and maintenance plan.
Can an existing deer fence be repaired or expanded?
Yes. Existing posts, wire, corners, braces, gates, tension, lower gaps, and electric components can be evaluated for repair or replacement. New gates, protected sections, and extended fence runs can also be added when crops, gardens, orchards, or land use change.
How tall should deer fencing be?
The appropriate height depends on deer pressure, surrounding terrain, fence visibility, the protected area, and the type of exclusion system. Deer can jump substantial heights, so a typical livestock or property fence may not provide dependable exclusion. The site should be reviewed before determining the required design and height.
