How tall does a deer fence need to be?
Deer can clear a typical 6-foot fence, so deer fencing is usually built taller, often around 7 to 8 feet, with wire mesh that's hard to see from a distance. The right height and layout depend on the slope, what you're protecting and any local height rules. We'll check your town's rules before we plan.

Can a deer fence look good in a front yard?
Yes. Wire mesh on clean wood posts reads as an open, rustic fence rather than a wall, and it lets you keep the view. Around a garden or orchard, a framed deer fence with a matching gate can look like part of the landscape. We'll suggest where to put the tall sections so they don't dominate the yard.

Where do deer fences make the most sense?
Deer fencing is a common request in the wooded and rural parts of the county: Occidental, Forestville, Guerneville, Healdsburg and the hills around Sebastopol and Sonoma. Tall fences can hit local height limits, so check your town below, or Permit Sonoma if you're outside a city.
