Minimum fence height

[protodon]

Can anyone tell me what the minimum height would be to be to keep a goose out of something, Like a vegetable patch or my driveway for instance. It would have to be not too tall and easy to move.

Most fences only need to be two or three feet, but sometimes if there is a strong wind, a goose can fly over a two or three feet fence.

Believe it or not if you have the time and the skill a goose can be trained to stay out of areas. I used to keep my geese out of the driveway with a simple fence made out of string and wire coat hangers. Of course it served more like a reminder than a fence.(geese tend to loose track of their surroundings when they are busy grazing) what really kept them out was the fact that I would yell at them and chase them if they crossed the string. For my garden I used fence that was either 15 or 18 inches high with the same training. My geese could fly and at least one gander learned how to climb welded fence that was 4' high when he wanted to visit his Lady. Good Luck!

Mine were only about 2 feet high. The American gray flew over it whenever she pleased, but it usually kept the others in.

Ours is about 2.5 feet, though they can fly over it if they want, and sometimes have to if we have been in the back field without them, but they don't like to wander. We actually went out a couple days ago and a couple of the back sections had completely fallen over but the geese hadn't wandered!
