Poly Deer Fencing and Other Poly Fence

Not all plastic deer fence is created equal. If you walk into any big box gardening or home improvement store, you’ll find rolls of lightweight mesh labeled as deer fencing. This product may look like the real thing, but if you pull it with your hands, it will snap right in half. If you can break it with your hands, a deer can break through it no problem.

Heavy-Duty Performance Where It Counts

If you’re serious about keeping deer away from your garden or landscaping, you need a heavy-duty plastic deer fence that holds up under pressure. The material, construction, and UV rating of the material matters. Our high-performance poly deer fence offers superior performance and weather resistance to keep your property protected for up to 25 years.

Material and Construction Are Key

When choosing a polypropylene deer fence, the build and materials you go with matter. Explore the sections below to understand exactly what to look for — and why Critterfence® outperforms the competition.

What to Look for in Plastic Deer Fence:

Material Quality

Virgin vs Recycled Polypropylene

There is a big difference between plastic deer fence constructed from virgin polypropylene and from recycled plastics. Recycled materials can have inconsistencies throughout in terms of strength and UV resistance. This can compromise the entire fence over time. Virgin polypropylene maintains structural integrity from top to bottom, allowing your fence to hold up over time without losing strength.

Design & Strength

Strand Shape and Breaking Strength

Poly deer fence with a semi-round or round extruded strand has a higher breaking strength per square foot than alternatives of the same weight without adding bulk or reducing invisibility. Our plastic deer fence offers up to 650–1,400 lbs of breaking strength per square foot while still being lightweight, invisible to deer, and easy to install.

Long-Term Durability

UV Protection and Usable Lifespan

The use of UV inhibitors can mean the difference between a plastic deer fence that lasts for decades and one that breaks apart after just a few years. Our fencing carries an outdoor lifespan of 15 to 25 years, depending on the UV additive package. Without proper UV protection, plastic becomes brittle and prone to cracking within just a few seasons, especially if you live in a hot or sunny environment.

Structure

Rigidity and Structure

Many fences are constructed like glorified soccer netting with floppy material that won’t hold up against a stampeding deer. A quality poly deer fence should be rigid enough to nearly stand upright on its own, even before it’s installed. Our plastic deer fence will hold its shape between posts, reducing the risk of gaps and weak spots to maintain integrity against even large deer.

Low Visibility

Visibility and Finished Edges

Our fencing has a finished top edge to protect you and any wildlife that comes in contact with the fence. The finished edge blends into the landscape to make the barrier less obvious to animals, creating a more reliable long-term deer deterrent. Thick borders in rival products can actually draw more attention from deer by increasing the fence’s profile.

Questions & Answers

Frequently Asked Questions on Our Plastic Deer Fence

What makes a plastic deer fence effective at keeping deer out?
An effective plastic deer fence needs adequate breaking strength (at least 650 lbs per square foot), proper height for the deer in your area, and a rigid structure that holds its shape between posts. Floppy, lightweight mesh — the kind sold at most garden centers — can be pushed through or torn by a deer. Look for semi-round extruded strands, virgin polypropylene, and built-in UV inhibitors to ensure long-term performance.
How is polypropylene deer fencing different from what’s sold at garden centers?
Most deer fencing sold at garden centers and big box stores is lightweight bird netting that you can snap with your bare hands. Our polypropylene deer fence is a professional-grade product with certified breaking strengths up to 1,400 lbs per square foot, built-in UV protection for a 15–25 year outdoor lifespan, and a rigid structure engineered to stand up to deer pressure.
What should I look for when choosing a plastic deer fence?

When comparing plastic deer fence options, look for:

  • Breaking strength of at least 650 lbs per square foot
  • 100% virgin polypropylene (not recycled, which can be inconsistent)
  • Built-in UV inhibitors for a 15–25 year outdoor lifespan
  • Semi-round or round extruded strands for higher strength and lower visibility
  • A rigid structure that holds its shape between posts without sagging
  • A finished top edge for safety and a cleaner look
How long will a polypropylene deer fence last?
A properly installed Critterfence® polypropylene deer fence will last 15 to 25 years outdoors, depending on the UV additive package of the specific product. Without UV inhibitors, plastic becomes brittle and prone to cracking within just a few seasons. Our fencing is engineered for long-term outdoor use — even in hot, sunny environments where inferior products fail quickly.

Why Choose Critterfence® Plastic Deer Fence?

Our high-quality polypropylene deer fence requires fewer repairs and offers a longer lifespan than rival products, while providing a safe and effective deer-deterring barrier.

Before you buy plastic mesh fencing anywhere, test a sample of the material. If you can break it by hand, it won’t hold up against a deer. Browse our full selection of fencing kits, rolls, and accessories, or talk to one of our fencing experts about your needs.
