Fence Pros:

• The multi-strand solar battery high tensile wire deer fence costs approximately $1.40/lineal foot to erect (less expensive than a woven wire deer fence)
• People view the multi-strand solar battery high tensile wire deer fence as more aesthetically pleasing than a woven wire fence
  
• The multi-strand solar battery high tensile wire deer fence is easier to dismantle than a woven wire deer fence

Fence Cons:

• The multi-strand solar battery high tensile wire deer fence requires more maintenance than a woven wire fence, a multi-strand solar battery high tensile wire deer fence should be inspected once a week
• Major damage, i.e. wind thrown fence line trees, can require extensive creative repairs (woven wire fence reacts better to major damage)
• Costly annual herbicide applications need to be applied along the bottom fence perimeter to control vegetation from grounding out the current
• Accessibility for the whitetail deer is easier than in a woven wire deer fence

Common Problems:

• Batteries lose power during cloudy days
• Batteries shut off when moisture accumulates on the terminals
• Trees fall on the wires
• Small mammals eat the plastic insulators and wire covers
• Frozen soils prohibit accurate voltage readings in the winter
