THE HOLLAND HOUSCH VEGETABLE GARDEN FENCE 2020

How do you build a simple, quick, deer and animal proof fence around your vegetable garden? That is the very question we asked ourselves about a month ago. As you may already know from our previous post The Holland Housch | Planning for a New Vegetable Garden, we decided to fast-track the installation of our garden when the Covid-19 pandemic started. We were looking for something temporary that was aesthetically pleasing, effective at keeping animals out, and that we could expand and improve easily. Our future garden fence design will be more sophisticated; when time and money are abundant.

For our vegetable garden fence design, we used 8 ft high, pointed cedar posts, chicken wire, and wood strapping (a.k.a. furring strip boards). We had all these items at our disposal, which was essential during the pandemic. Interested in seeing how we constructed our groovy do-it-yourself garden fence. Watch this short video of Justin and I hard at work making magic happen on a shoestring.
