You apparently missed my point. Cattle guards are grids flush with the
ground, and I did understand you meant the chainlink went flat on the
ground. Someone else suggested nylon net or hardware cloth, neither of
which would look like a grid. No deer would hesitate to step on nylon net
or hardware cloth, they might be dubious about stepping on chainlink, but
they're certainly going to be wary of stepping on a cattle guard or any
grid that looks similar. Margaret
