I have about 3 acres I need to fence off for my orchard and considering doing a junk pole fence because it would be significantly cheaper than game fencing (lots of deer, moose, elk in the area) plus we could clean up some of our treed area to reduce fire risk…

So for those who have done it…

Is it actually effective at keeping out deer?

How does it hold up to high winds?

I don't have experience with junk pole fencing though I do have experience with deer and fencing.

Deer can easily jump and 8 foot fence.

My suggestion would be to make a double fence or a zigzag fence.
