These fence kits don't include a rodent barrier and don't overlap on the ground. That means for example if you order a 7 1/2 foot fence kit, we will ship you posts that come out of the ground 7 1/2 feet and 7 1/2 foot tall deer fence. This configuration is great for customers protecting arborvitae or other shrubs, for example. It's also a great choice for customers that need to take down their fence seasonally or for a removable deer fence. Included ground sleeves stay in the ground, while posts and fencing are removed for storage. Optional post sleeve caps can be used to cover ground sleeves when not in use.
