Yes, a double fence can keep deer out of your yard by using the deer’s limited depth perception. For example, a 6-foot tall fence with another 4-foot fence a couple feet from the outer fence makes it look more difficult and unsafe for the deer to jump and land safely. You can even mimic the look of a double fence by using wire or a clothesline.

How long a wood fence lasts depends on the type of wood and its style. The design of a shadow box fence makes it more durable than other fence types because the alternating pickets disperse the weight across the rails. As a result, you won’t have to worry as much about sagging or failing pickets. However, remember that the hollow design of a shadow box fence makes it more difficult to apply the sealer, which is crucial to extending its life.

There are different types of pet fencing available to keep your furry family member safe:

• Chain link fencing is an affordable but not visually appealing option.

• Vinyl panel fencing is less easily damaged than wood. 

• Wood fencing is customizable but requires regular maintenance. 

• Metal iron fencing provides a sleek look but doesn’t block your pet’s view. 

• Electric fencing eliminates the need for a traditional fence, but it could be painful to your pet. 

• Picket fencing adds to your curb appeal but won’t contain most pets. 

• Brick or stone fencing stops pets from digging out of the yard but costs more.

If you’re trying to keep your dog from running away, an electric fence isn’t the only fence type for your yard worth considering. The cost of dog fences can range from $1,500 to $8,000, with popular materials including wood, vinyl, or aluminum to keep your pet safe and sound. 

If you’re trying to keep livestock in their pasture, other fencing options include woven wire, high-tensile wire, and synthetic fencing. These options give your animals boundaries without the use of electricity.
