Tips For Designing The Ultimate Garden Fence For Vegetables
Gardening in Northwest Arkansas is a way of life. With a long growing season and warm climate, it doesn’t take much effort to make vegetables thrive. It’s no surprise that vegetable garden fences are one of the most in-demand backyard improvements in cities like Springdale. A garden fence for vegetables isn’t just ornamental – it’s practical. Learn how a veggie garden fence from Superior Fence & Rail can keep out pests and make your whole yard look beautiful all season long!
A Garden Fence For Vegetables Grown From Quality And Care
A vegetable garden fence serves an important purpose: keeping out pests, organizing and categorizing plantings, and beautifying your outdoor space. But all too often, you see fences that look like afterthoughts. Maybe they were installed after the gardener realized deer, rabbits, or other pets were wreaking havoc on their crop – a hodgepodge mix of DIY big box store fence panels and chicken wire that already looks like it needs replacement after only a few seasons. Or maybe the gardener tried to ride an online trend with a fence made from recycled pallets or other lumber, and the result is just…well, they tried.
If you’re planning a backyard garden in NW Arkansas or have an existing garden that needs a new fence, don’t hodgepodge it – let Superior Fence & Rail help you design your garden fence for vegetables just like you select your plantings for the season!

Dozens Of Garden Fence Options, What To Choose?
You’ve started the search. “Fence garden vegetable” is sitting there in your browser window. But you don’t know what type of garden fence for vegetables you want.
Start with the process of elimination.
Pressure Treated Wood vs. Cedar
While a wooden picket fence has a classic style that appeals to all gardeners, is that the right veggie garden fence for you? Vegetable gardens need to be high moisture environments, and over time, wooden fences will rot. All of Superior Fence & Rail’s wooden fences are pressure treated for outstanding rot resistance, which makes them ideal for flower gardens or other parts of your yard, but many gardeners prefer to keep pressure treated lumber away from the vegetables they eat. Naturally rot-resistant cedar fencing might be a better option, with none of the chemicals of pressure treated wood but far more durability to insects and moisture than untreated lumber.
Vinyl vs. Composite Trex
A cedar fence has unparalleled style, but like any wooden fence, they require annual maintenance. Sanding, staining, painting – some of us would rather spend our time gardening than maintaining our vegetable garden fence. Luckily, Superior Fence & Rail has two virtually maintenance free fence types: a classic vinyl in multiple colors and styles, and a 100% composite fence made from nearly indestructible Trex lumber. Vinyl fencing offers more options for slatted and semi-private styles that allow light and irrigation into your garden, while a Trex fence is ideal protection against even the hardiest pests, like deer and wild hogs.
Chain Link vs. Aluminum
A metal fence, like chain link or aluminum, might not be what every gardener thinks of first when they are planning their vegetable plot, but they offer a lot of advantages. They rot and insect immune, and Superior’s galvanized or vinyl coated chain link and powder coated aluminum are both virtually rust-proof. They are both strong enough to stand up to the toughest Arkansas pests. And both can be used to train climbing veggies to, creating vertical gardens along your perimeter walls! Choose a chain link fence for an affordable choice that will deter rabbits and other small pests, or an aluminum fence for a stylish showpiece that’s incredibly customizable – including your choice of bold colors!
Protection From Pests
From small to big, pests can ruin your garden – fast! If you don’t have a quality fence protecting your vegetables, you’re asking for trouble. Small pests like rabbits can be kept out with a closed panel fence or a tight fence cloth like chainlink. If you like the look of a more open fence, you can always back it with chicken wire or hardware cloth to keep out critters. Bury the hardware cloth up to 12” below grade to stop burrowing animals! For deer, the best protection is height – 8’ of fence is recommended if you have a major deer problem. That will keep them from jumping in, and potentially getting trapped inside. Finally, as we all know, wild hogs can be a major problem in NW Arkansas. Choose a sturdy fence made of metal or composite Trex to withstand these strong animals!
