You'll find some photos of my double electric deer fence here:

The fence was converted to double in 2003 and has worked well for me
since then. Cost to convert a barbed wire fence was a bit less than
$1/foot, as I recall. That includes labor; I had a contractor put it
up.
There is significance to the photos of the pea crop. Without the fence
there would be NO pea crop. In 2002, I had a very good looking pea
crop and did not pick a single pea; deer ate then all. Since 2003,
I've had annual pea crops with little to no deer depredation.
