I'm starting an orchard and a garden but where i'm at the deer would eat my plants before they even had a chance to start. Anybody have any ideas where I could find some 60" or 72" high welded wire fence that is pretty reasonable for price? I have about 600' I need to run however everywhere I have looked is crazy expensive. I don't want to spend too much because once the trees are established I'm going to open them up to wildlife and discard of the fence. I already have the posts as i'm going to use 8' landscape timbers.

Any help or ideas would be great.


This is my BOOMSTICK!!!

That fencing is pretty expensive. Every once in a while it will come up on a farm auction and you can buy it reasonable, but new it is spendy.
A cheaper option is to go with the electric fence poly "tape". You can buy it pretty reasonably, and it comes in a variety of widths that are easy to see.  Put up a couple strands and hook a fencer to it. The deer may hit it a couple times, but they will soon respect it. I recommend the tape over regular electric fence wire because it is much easier to see.

Here is a link to what I'm talking about. If you do some shopping, you could probably get it cheaper. I know places like TSC and Farm and Home carry it:
