I was looking at using PVC & thinking of getting
1/2" or 3/4" PVC and spreading them out every 40
feet or so.
I ventured out today to where these are going to be
laid out in a NW & NE direction & mostly there's the
10' tall Phragmites, those marsh reeds that look
like they have a bushy squirrel tail on the ends.
But there's some open areas the wire will be
traveling through as well as some small ponds it
will be going over and it's definitely a great place
for deer. I see the signs of rutting & quite a few
trails in the marsh with both deer & coyote tracks
in abundance in the snow & ice.
I'm sure the deer are being chased by coyotes & will
be capable of jumping into my wire no matter how
high I put it. I know any support I'll be putting
out will be down in a moment if a buck decides to
"debark" it with his antlers.
That said, where deer are present, what's a
realistic "good height" to put the beverage supports
at?
Thanks
