Step 9: Stakes and Flags 1) Plan on folding out 6 inches of deer fencing at the bottom of the deer fence toward the deer and staking this flap down with ground stakes. If your soil is very loose and sandy use the 18-inch ground stakes (item 18-02A). Otherwise use the 12-inch kinked galvanized ground stakes (items 18-01 and 18-02). In either case, plan on using one ground stake for every 6 feet of deer fence. 2) To calculate the total number of ground stakes needed, divide the total deer fence length by 6 feet. Then decide how many bundles of 30, 250, or 20 are needed to provide this number, and enter the appropriate number of bundles in the table. 3) Plan on attaching two warning flags (at a height not over 3 feet) between each pair of deer fence posts or trees. Calculate how many warning flags (item 18-03) you will need by taking your total number of posts plus trees and multiplying by 2. Now divide this number by 50 (the number of flags per bag) to determine the number of bags you need, and enter this number in the table. |
