Pictures of your garden fences?

[Henrietta23]

Our kitchen garden is what we see from the back windows and deck. We used picket fence from Home Depot. I think the whole garden is roughly 16x16 feet. We haven't painted, not sure we are going to yet. We will have to line it with chicken wire to keep the chickens and ducks out. They are starting to go after ripe veggies!

We recycled our doubled (2 cattle panels wired together on the 4' end) cattle panel hoop run that we used for the chickens back in TN to fence in our 32' x 50' garden here in AR.

Before:

After:

Eventually, I'd like to run an added section of 2 or 3' chicken wire on top of the 4' high panels but so far, the deer haven't bothered the garden at all.

We have the low tech t-posts and 5' tall 2x4 welded wire, too. We haven't had any trouble with deer in the garden but we see evidence of them on our property. I used to hang cheap bar soap here and there. After hubby started whizzing close to the garden, there haven't been any wild critters in there.

I have seen lots of great ideas in the natural fencing. For looks you can use small trees dead or alive or mix it up with bamboo or reeds. There are also bushes that are so dense animals won't go through them, I'm not sure which ones but would love to know. I am building a cob house on 5 acres and the area is not as private as I would like so I am planning on cob walls for gardening and a courtyard. I will have pics of more of the plant life and fences in the spring.

It depends on what grows where you are, but Locusts or Osage Orange are used for living fences. Thorny hedge roses can work too, but goats love to eat them, so those might not work for everybody. Most of the living fences depend on dense growth and thorns to discourage intruders.

Btw- I love cob and want to build one someday.
