Rural Deer Electric Fencing

Deer’s have turn out to be a growing problem in nearly all regions of the United Kingdom and the deer population is considered to be higher now than at any time in the past. Coppice re-growth and normal rejuvenation of vegetation is not possible in many spaces without framework or other fortification. In some regions Mantua deer are causing major damage to the land vegetation of forests. Deer hurdling is raised due the following reasons:

1. To exclude deer from woodlands, including plantations, coppiced woodlands, newly planted amenity woodlands and those where natural regeneration is needed to maintain or extend woodland cover.
2. Park fencing may also be needed to protect high-value horticultural and agricultural crops.
3. To include deer within a farm or wildlife park.
4. Exclude deer from private property.
There are four basic methods to control deer damage to woodlands, which may need to be used in combination:
1. Fencing or tree guards. Netting or mesh fences are necessary, as deer can push between the wires of line wire fencing.
2. Providing alternative grazing and browsing to divert attention away from the areas you want to protect.
3. Culling of population. Culling has to be organized on a local area basis, as deer will rapidly move into woodland where culling has taken place. Contact the local Forestry Commission office as there may be a deer management group in your area.
4. Estate Fencing is highly effective and slightly lighter than conventional framework. It is substantially cheaper and easier to erect.
