A few thoughts regarding your deer issues 1) The fence around my garden, which is 43' X 43', is, approximately, 7" tall and the deer dont jump it . 2) If you put long strands of brightly colored survey ribbons, tied to the wire, as they stream in the wind the movement spooks the deer. 3) I take aluminum pie pans and cut them in half and attach a large snap swivel to the piece of pie pan and wire this to the fence. The banging and clattering in the wind keeps the deer away. This works like a charm and its cheap. My $.02.
