  Hi John...I have fenced in my gardens with 7' high plastic mesh fencing
for a number of years...and have had good luck with this height. Some have
said that deer can jump twelve feet...but I will believe it when I see it...
 Here in southern Maine we have lots of white tailed deer that have always
been a problem if you don't fence them out. Franklin

We are going to purchase deer fencing (plastic mesh type).  Does anyone have
suggestions as to the height necessary to do the best job of prevention?  I
think there are both 7 and 9 foot heights.  We have used electric fencing,
but they still jump over the fence or crawl through it to decimate our crops
at some point every year. Thank you for all opinions.  John, Doe Run Farm,
TN.
