I dont know if you have any of these in parts of the US but these were brought in so that grazing animals etc wouldnt get near the private gardens of big houses.. but didnt restrict the vista.. https://i.pinimg.com/236x/43/bd/28/4...ape-design.jpg
An interesting solution for animals that keep coming into your garden has been found in the far 18th century in England. The answer for the problem is a sunken ditch, or so called ha-ha. It is not something that is hard to construct and at the same time is one of the most effective solutions. The ha-ha is a type of wall concealed in the bottom part of a trench that is deep.
Because of its height the ha-ha wall doesn’t hide the beautiful scenery beyond the owner’s land. At he same time it is effectively protecting it from animals. Nowadays some designers decide to use this type of wall for their projects in regions where the homeowners are in danger of animals that can enter the beautiful lawn in front of the house, for example.
That is a great idea if you have the land and the money. Of course it needs to be eight times the height shown to keep deer out. They leap over a ten foot fence effortlessly. Drainage could be an issue too.
n Australia, ha-has were also used at Victorian-era lunatic asylums such as Yarra Bend Asylum, Beechworth Asylum, and Kew Lunatic Asylum. From the inside, the walls presented a tall face to patients, preventing them from escaping, while from outside they looked low so as not to suggest imprisonment.[12] Kew Asylum has been redeveloped as apartments; however some of the ha-has remain, albeit partially filled in. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ha-ha
but barbed wire would look ugly. surely they wouldnt want that outside in their large gardens.
True, but I was thinking more in terms of the other, originally-American customers -- homesteaders who saw barbed wire as a means to keep free-ranging cattle out of their property. How the overseas market reacted to a new source of inexpensive fencing is something you would likely know much better than I.
