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.


Hmmm ...

Again for the tough groundhogs use the "L" shape for the buried fence
wire. Also if one whistles the groundhogs may standup to check where the
sound is coming from -- making them an easier target :O
