An idea for a Deer Resistant Pallet Fence. I came up with this idea for a (now defunct, boo!) Community Garden Project in Sausalito. Budget was a major issue so recycling and using cheap materials was mandatory. Using shipping pallets as the structure for a fence and alternating it in a zigzag manner with chicken wire, the fence could be constructed rather affordably. My beloved cousin had a wonderful idea of using pallets as upright planter boxes (two{A}musing) so I adopted the idea to the fence, using a flax (Phormium sp.) for added height and color. At the ground level I thought it would be nice to add Euphorbia, mainly because I'm in love with it (and at some point there will be a report on it) and some succulents. The only thing I haven't quite figured out is deer are pretty good jumpers, so the pallets may actually need to be doubled in height to be effective. Until such time that I actually see this built, I will enjoy my doodles.
