Note: The above fences were built to prevent encroachments of wild deer to planted woodlands. The deer fences that I saw in New Zealand were built on deer farms. These were of higher fencing of approximately 12 to 15 feet in height,  more elaborate meant to prevent the deer from escaping.

  5. That is some serious fencing. Has to be, of course, as deer can jump amazingly high. I love the texture and colors in the ladder photo.

  6. Love the lofty stile. Have never seen one that tall before. Enough to give one vertigo.

  8. A vinyl fence is a good choice for any of the above reasons for a fence.
