We just built a cedar post fence which provides a deer-proof gardening area. We have no backyard fence to allow an unobstructed view of the dry creek area which we enjoy, but critters also feel welcome to wander in and browse the foliage. The new fence is not high, but deer avoid jumping into narrow and restricted spaces. So this fence will work well for allowing roses and other deer candy to be grown in this area, while also enabling an excellent view of the plants from the house and yard.
