Location is necessary
I'm in Washington, the state of. Yes I have deer who come back every year. You cant really see our wire fence, it's 3' tall & the wood one is 6'
I think I would just buy 2 ft length if chain link, & pole and attach them to each other. This waty you know nothing is getting out or in
i would first kill everything between the two fences, making sure it's all totally dead, then cover with a good barrier- plastic sheeting, for example. Cover that with something durable like pea gravel. Then I would till up a very small strip in front of the wire fence, plant an evergreen vine suitable for your area along the fence. Growing anything in between the fences will just eventually lead to weeds, since it would be a challenge to keep weeded.
Excellent idea!!! I will definitely try this. Thank you so much...
Trumpet Vines grow fast and thick, in fact they are considered invasive and will grow along both your fences. The good news is they attract bees, butterflies and hummingbirds!
I would plant shrubs at that spot.
I would put in a piece of fencing. Cheaper, permanent and not an issue of plant maintenance.
Plant a mixed border of shrubs in front of the chain link fence, and you won't see the fences, especially if you use Gma Kirk's idea. But I think I would make sure the barrier (plastic sheeting, landscape fabric) is really sturdy--you don't want to have to redo it anytime soon.
Please don't plant anything that is invasive. After 15 years I am still trying to kill the english ivy my neighbors planted.
Trumpet vines are also considered invasive and should be contained to prevent future problems.
