INSTALLATION TECHNIQUES. . .
1.
First, determine the areas you wish to protect. Our product can be used to enclose your entire property, or selected areas (please note that the area should be completely enclosed for the best deer protection.) In our experience, using the product along just one or two sides of the area could result in severe damage - it will allow the deer to enter from a particular direction, try to exit from another direction where the fencing has been installed, and damage your fence in their attempt to escape. Therefore, we recommend that you completely enclose the area you wish to protect, (enclosing particular section(s) or your entire property). If you choose to enclose your entire property, we suggest using Cintoflex P-Flex. If you choose to enclose small gardens or landscaped areas, our standard C-Flex product. Since deer do not like jumping into small areas, you may be able to use lower height fence for narrow beds/small gardens.

The fencing can be attached to your existing trees with U-nails. When doing so, we recommend that the trees are no more than 15' apart. If no treeline is present, or if trees are further than 20' apart, our tubular 1 3/8" pipe, rail steel or pressure treated 2" x 4"s or 4" X 4"s maybe used and should be spaced no more than 10' apart. Start in a corner at ground level, unroll the fencing, and attach it to the tree using u-nails every 1 foot as you work your way up. For maximum strength, use as many nails as possible on top and bottom. Leave some play in the fencing as you install it. Run a coil wire along the top of the fence and attach to the pipe in holes provided (must make sure to order pipes with holes drilled). Or, if using wood, attach it with staples. Attach the coil wire to the fence with zip ties every foot. (Please see the Deer Fence Specifications Section for complete information on both products.) 
     
3.
Deer are notorious for trying to push under fence! In order to keep them from getting in, install the fence netting so that it the ground. Then secure it to the ground using 12" metal stakes every 8' - 10', or attach a wire running the length of the fence by securely fastening it to the bottom of the fence (similar to the coil wire installation method used for the fence top, as stated in number 2. We have also had success placing large rocks on top of the overlap to secure the netting on the ground.

If you have rabbits and small animals and are installing Cintoflex, you may want to add a steel hex barrier. We recommend installing 2’ steel hex netting along-side the bottom of your Cintoflex. This ensures that small animals don’t chew holes in your fencing, creating a starting point of access for the deer. Attach it in the same way you are installing your Cintoflex fencing for added protection.

 
4.
Attach 12" long white ribbon onto the fence every 10' at a height of 4'. This will allow the deer to see the newly installed barrier, keeping them from running into it. The ribbon should be left up for six to eight weeks. It is most important to place a ribbon along areas of high deer traffic and/or time worn paths (we also recommend using a double layer of fencing where frequently traveled paths exist).
