Fences and deer

If I want to garden here on the island the first step will be to build a deer fence.
Fortunately there are a lot of gardeners here on Malcolm Island and a lot of deer fences. I have been taking notes and here are a few pics I have gathered for inspiration.
It all started with a trip to Wisterias garden. Yes that is her name and she does have this magnificent wisteria in full bloom.


I thought her fence was simple with an interesting touch.


Then this gate caught my eye and I thought that was a great idea for a gate.


This drift wood fence was a stunner. Given all the driftwood lining the beaches there are a lot of raw materials around.


This fence is simple and open. It wouldn't block the sun, but doesn't provide much privacy either.


Still simple but with more privacy.



Another example of making use of the materials available on the beach.


Another idea adding some colour into the mix.
There are still a lot more fences to check out. Hopefully I'll narrow down my ideas when it comes time to start building.
