Ok, I have rabbits, groundhogs, and deer. Please describe the fence I
need around my garden.


Serious question?

Solid, at least 6 foot high to deter the deer who don't like to jump
over when they can't see the other side. *Deep to keep out the rabbits. *
Gee, I don't even know how deep you'd have to go for groundhogs. *Maybe
a moat?

Netting will deter deer as will chicken wire. Need not be solid.
Groundhogs are tough as they will burrow under. Hav-a-hart works well
for groundhogs.



A 3 wire electric fence does a wonderful job of keeping the deer out.
