Does anyone have experience with this approach that has at least anecdotal success in NW California:

A fence of irregular, uneven height (4 ft) made of narrow small planks of random length placed vertically side-by-side?

It seems to be visually confusing to deer.

My solution is, here in Norway:
we have doe deer, which can come through an opening 18 cm wide, 60 cm high, and pass a 2 m high obstacle.

I tried too the smell solutions, it does not work long term, and those strange smells in the garden are not so pleasant.

I observed that the deers that walk down the road walked up in the garden if the low gate was open, but walked to the neighbour when it was closed. The animal that could jump over prefered probably the most open visual route.
