Hi,
We am starting out with a small herd (5 bucks, 6 does, 2 fawns) of fallow deer.
We are planning out the fence right now, and will be starting with a 50x100 foot pen suitable for winter. Next summer when the frost is out, we will add on a lot more fencing.
Right now we are looking into different fencing, and cannot find wire locally that is 8 foot tall. Our only option is to use 2 stacked rows of 4 foot woven wire.
We would be using wooden posts at the corners and gates, with a sally port type gate so that no one escapes.
These deer are friendly and tame. They are in a 8 foot deer fence right now.
Has anyone else had to use 4 foot wire stacked like this? It is the heavy duty field fencing.
Also someone suggested to save money we could weld 2 T-posts together to make a long enough posts. No one around here sells a 10 foot T post. Has anyone done this? Any idea if this is going to be strong enough? Our concern is that we are in Northern MN and it gets VERY cold. Will welds hold up when its 40 below?
