SLANTED 7-WIRE FENCE

Recommended for moderate to high deer pressure on moderate to large acreages.

A 7-wire electric fence built in a slanted style has been effective in controlling deer damage under high deer pressure. All wires are spaced at 12-inch intervals along a rail slanting up from the ground (and away from the crop) to an outside height of 4 feet. The fence covers approximately 6 feet of horizontal space and presents a deer with a perplexing barrier as well as a shock upon impact. If additional small mammal control is desired, wires may be added between the ground and first wire and the first and second wires.
