Why Physical Barriers Are the Permanent Fix

Repellent and decoys discourage animals, but bird netting and fencing physically block them, which makes barriers the most reliable long-term option for gardens and fruit trees you want fully protected.

Best for harvest season

Bird netting is especially useful over berries and fruit trees as they ripen, when birds are most likely to move in and the stakes for losing a crop are highest.

Installing Bird Netting and Fencing

Secure netting at the base so animals can't get underneath, and check it regularly for gaps or tears. For deer, fencing generally needs to be at least 7 to 8 feet tall, since deer can clear lower barriers with ease.

Local tip: Many gardeners in Kamloops and Merritt combine a decoy for daily deterrence with bird netting during harvest season for the best results.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is bird netting or an owl decoy better?

They work well together. A decoy handles daily deterrence, while bird netting offers more complete, permanent protection, especially useful during harvest season when the stakes are highest.

How tall does deer fencing need to be?

Generally at least 7 to 8 feet. Deer are strong jumpers and can clear shorter fences without much trouble, so height matters more than most people expect.

How do I install bird netting over fruit trees?

Drape the netting fully over the tree or plant and secure the base so birds can't get underneath. Check it regularly through the season for gaps or tears that could let birds through.

Will bird netting harm the birds?

Properly installed and secured netting is designed to keep birds out entirely, not trap them. Loose or sagging netting is what causes problems, so check it regularly and keep it taut.

Can I use bird netting over strawberries or garden beds, not just trees?

Yes, bird netting works over any plant or bed you want to protect. Support it with stakes or a frame so it doesn't rest directly on the plants.
