How close to the pond are you thinking? If you are building a pole barn or putting in a footer you could get pretty close, 25 feet or there about. On the other hand building a basement I would stay away a good 100 feet, there could be potential leaks to the basement. As for city town or state setback codes you'll need to check with your local authorities as every state has different rules. Hope this helps? Darrell Rhoades Hi Dana,

How close to the pond can i build? Also, how large does the body of water need to be before the town, city or state recognizes it as a pond or lake and make it subject to building setback codes?

I too put on a new deck but have not had your problem. Like you said no barrier, but maybe an invisible one will work this is the only place I know that has deer repellent and I use for me and the dog's and it works. Here's the link straight to the deer page http://www.liquidfence.com/deer-repellent.html Give a shout back and let us know how it works. Hi Michael,

The deer keep coming on the deck and leave their scat. Why are they doing it on the deck? What can I do to prevent it other than a barrier? Thank you, Mike I just built a brand new deck for my 1.5 acre pond we just reworked in Virginia. The deer keep coming on the deck and leave their scat. Why are they doing it on the deck?

Thank you,
