Deer Fence, the Sequel

We are so happy with how the deer fence worked out we've decided to do the rest of the yard. We started out by the quonset hut, and went across the back of the property, our border with the state forest.


Hard to see, but that is kinda the point, as we don't want a fence to be the focal point when out in the yard.


It was while clearing a path for this section when I found the roofing shingles.


This was a long stretch, so I added a gate to allow access to and from the back woods. It was very helpful when working on the fence itself. And it is near here, a few feet to the left, where I found the worm snake.


This is Max reading the instructions for assembling and installing the gate. How they got here, two days after the gate was installed well away from the path around the fish pond, is a mystery we may never solve. As to why Max is looking at them upside down, that's easy. Cats can't read.


This part is along the road, east of the septic mound, and connects to a section I added back in March, where I used the remaining fence from the initial installation. Now the entire east side of the property, to the 'front yard', is fenced. 


Well almost. I was one foot short. The orange cord securing the end of the fence to the last post tree.


Not to worry, that's another roll of fence, wrapped in blue. Under a gate to install where our driveway connects to our neighbor to the west's property, the horse farm. Once upon a time our two properties were part of a larger blueberry farm.

There are still two long sections of fence to install. And then we need to figure out what to put across the front yard, likely a split rail type fence. And then what to do with the driveway.

I better get to work ...
