What can you do if deer are ravaging your vineyard?
High-tensile woven wire fencing is perhaps the most effective fence material to use as a vineyard perimeter barrier. Woven from 12.5 gauge high tensile wire using "fixed knot" construction, these fences are very strong. The one piece vertical stay wires give added strength. They are bound to the horizontal wires by a knot formed by a third wire. The fence will not unwind under pressure. The characteristics of woven mesh gives the fence flexibility, enabling it to more easily conform to uneven ground
In addition to their strength, these fence materials will last for years. Woven wire fencing requires little maintenance throughout its lifetime.The strong high tensile wire used has a heavily galvanized Class 3 coating, guaranteeing superior resistance to rust and corrosion.
Some sizes of woven wire fencing for vineyards are available with a black painted finish over a zinc/aluminum coating. Although not exactly a Class 3 coating, these will last four to six times as long as standard Class 1 fences. The black color fence material is more attractive than the bright galvanized. From a distance, a black fence becomes virtually invisible against the background.
There is a wide selection of heights available, from 48" (4') up to 120" (10'). You can make a tall fence without having to double up two shorter rolls. The spacing between horizontal wires are graduated - smaller at the bottom, larger at the top. Rolls are usually 330' in length.
