Deer Fence Installation in Arvada, CO
Deer are surprisingly good jumpers — a standing deer can clear 6 to 8 feet, and with a running start, some can top 10 to 12 feet. Supreme Fencing Arvada LLC installs deer fencing across Arvada that accounts for what deer can actually do, not just a tall fence and hoping for the best.
The Trick to Keeping Deer Out Without an 8-Foot Wall
Here’s something worth knowing: deer can jump high, or they can jump far, but not both at the same time. That single fact opens up options besides just building an intimidating 8-foot fence:
- A single tall fence — 7 to 8 feet is the standard recommendation, since most deer won’t risk a jump that height even though some can technically clear it. Their poor depth perception makes them cautious around a fence they’re not sure about.
- A slanted fence — angling the fence outward effectively makes it wider, which most deer won’t attempt even at a lower height like 6 feet. The trade-off is it takes up more yard space and holds up less well under heavy snow.
- Double fencing — two shorter fences (around 4 to 5 feet each) spaced 4 to 5 feet apart. Since deer can’t jump both high and wide at once, they generally won’t attempt clearing both. This is often more practical and weather-resistant than a single slanted fence.
- A solid, opaque fence — deer are far less likely to jump something they can’t see through, since they can’t judge what’s on the other side. This is one reason a wood privacy-style fence can work at a lower height than open mesh.
We’ll walk your property and recommend the setup that actually fits your space and budget, not just default to the tallest option.
What Kind of Deer Fence Should You Get?
Polypropylene Mesh
Lightweight, affordable, and effective at height. A common choice for gardens and larger property perimeters.
Steel Mesh
More durable than poly mesh, holding up better to snow load and general wear over the years.
Solid Wood or Privacy-Style Fencing
Works at a lower height than open mesh, since deer avoid what they can’t see through. See our cedar and wood fencing service for material options.

If you’re only protecting a vegetable garden or flower bed rather than a full property line, our garden fence service covers smaller-scale pest exclusion options.

What Does a Deer Fence Cost in Arvada?
Deer fence installation in Arvada typically ranges from $25–$75+ per linear foot, depending on the fence material, height, total length, and design. Taller 7–8-foot deer fences, angled designs, and double-fence systems all have different installation costs. In some cases, a double-fence layout or solid wood fence can be more cost-effective than installing one extra-tall fence because it may require less structural reinforcement. Final pricing also depends on your property’s terrain, gates, and site conditions. The best way to receive accurate pricing is with a free, no-obligation on-site estimate.

Frequently Asked Questions
How tall does a deer fence need to be?
7 to 8 feet is the standard recommendation for a single vertical fence. Alternatives like slanted or double fencing can work effectively at lower heights.
Is there a cheaper alternative to an 8-foot fence?
Yes. Two shorter fences spaced a few feet apart, or a solid privacy-style fence, can both be effective at lower heights than a single tall mesh fence.
Do deer avoid fences they can't see through?
Generally, yes. Poor depth perception makes deer cautious about jumping into an area they can’t see into, which is part of why solid fencing works well even at moderate heights.
Can a deer fence be used just for a garden instead of the whole yard?
Yes. For smaller areas, our garden fence options may be a better fit and lower cost than fencing the entire property.
