What's the best fence for a vegetable garden in New Milford?

For a New England-area garden facing deer, rabbits, and woodchucks, we typically recommend a 7-to-8-ft black mesh fence with a tight rabbit-grade band at the bottom and a buried apron in woodchuck zones.

Will the fence handle New Milford-area winters?

Yes — galvanized hardware throughout, posts set to local frost depth, mesh tensioned for snow loading. Designed for decades of New England winters.

Can you install around a fully planted garden?

Yes. We install around mature beds and irrigation regularly — light hand clearing, no root compaction.

How small can a garden fence be in New Milford?

We've installed enclosures as small as a single raised-bed cluster (~200 sq ft). The design just scales down.
