Cheap Easy Deer Fence For Garden that WORKS (3D Deer Fence, NOT Fishing Line)
Переглядів 94 тис.4 роки тому
Don't waste your time on a fishing line deer fence like we did. Deer walked right through like it wasn't there and ate our garden up. We installed another cheap deer fence option, the 3D Deer Fence, and it's worked perfectly.

      Probably not any good ones... Maybe a 3 foot line a foot away from the wall, then a 2 foot line 2 feet away, and 1 foot line three feet away. I assume they are jumping close to the wall and that might deter them. Might need to play around with the spacing. Luckily, we have not had to deal with scrappy coyotes.

      I would consider adding 2-foot tall chicken-wire (or similar) around the inner fence. That way, a raccoon would have to crawl over it (and get shocked at the ~24inch inside line), and 2-feet of protection is usually enough to deter rabbits.

    Deer do not have binocular vision (like most prey animals) and therefore are not capable of seeing depth....but it is very hard to sneak up on them. The way a deer’s eyes are positioned on its head is part of this. This animal has a 310 degree field of view, with only 50 degrees of blind spot. Compare that to humans, who have three times as big a blind spot. Try this: Powered with 12v or 120v ac. 2 joules. About $70.

    FYI based on my own research for this design--it seems recommended to get a fence charger (technically they say above 1J) output but at least close to that. I have no hands-on experience but if you're finding success with a 0.15J output charger that's very exciting. I found one for $160 with 0.8J output.

  • @gregg8920

    Hi, I modeled my fence from this video and used a Gallagher S20 charger, 12 miles, .20 stored joules(similar to yours). I have 4 lines, totaling about 1,200 ft.(u shaped design) I'm only getting 2500 volts directly after where I have it clamped to the polywire on the outside line and less than 1,000 on the inner top 2 lines at furthest point. I can touch 1,500 volts without feeling a jolt. 2,500 is a slight jolt. Have you measured your voltage? I'm wondering if my charger is underpowered, but I don't think it should be. I used the same grounding rod and drove down to about 6" exposed, not a dry area. The only thing I can think of is the unit came with alligator clamps and maybe the connection isn't what it is supposed to be...although Gallagher is a well established and I don't think they would provide inadequate supplies. Anyway, I'm curious what your voltage is.

    • @dooleyhomestead
      @dooleyhomestead Рік тому

      Hi Gregg - seems like you know your stuff. I think you're on the right track with the connections. I haven't measured the voltage since I don't have a proper device that sticks into the ground very far - but I've gotten zapped enough times to know juice is flowing. Sorry we're not able to be more helpful. Best of luck!

    Did you cut a separate piece of polyrope for your entrance that attaches to the handles? It doesn't look like it's tied to the rest of the polyrope. Are the inner 2 lines electrified where you enter? Maybe they are conducting because of proximity to each other inside the insulator as they criss cross each other?

    • @dooleyhomestead
      @dooleyhomestead Рік тому

      They are separate, but they are connected to electricity via the handles and insulators. As long as they touch at the insulator they carry the charge. Hope this helps!

  • @berniesbend

    It needs to be electrified. You'll have deer test it. Leave one gate wire down or have one of those corner posts arcing to ground and they eat your garden. They're like those velociraptors in Jurrasic Park. They'll test your fence. They love filbert, apple, blueberry etc.

    Your fence is too short as others have commented. Also, visual distractions need to be hung on the lines to get the deer's attention. They are very wary of movement at night. I hang aluminum foil pie plates on mine. They move very well when any pressure is put on the fishing line. This fright factor is very effective.

    Thanks for posting this excellent video! We recently moved from the city the countryside here in central Ohio and the first thing we did was build a large vegetable garden. We are currently using the 3D fence design in your video with non-electrofied white nylon cord. So far, it's been working but we have decided to upgrade to electrofied conductors for added safety. We live on the edge of a nature preserve and have lots of deer crossing our property day and night. Our question is: Have you made any 'refinements' to your design since posting this video 2 years ago? For instance, do you still recommend the same hight and spacing? We also have a big rabbit population but so far the 24" chickenwire pinned at the bottom with sod stakes has been keeping them out. Thanks Again, Bill and Monica
