Fences put up at a 30 degree angle has also worked for some people. Deer
walk up to a fence and jump straight up and over. They can not contemplate
getting a running start unless chased.

Has anyone put up a 4' fence with a single strand of wire 4' high and 4'
away
from the main fence?
Another idea (which I planned on using, but I had back problems all summer)
is
to put up your regular fence, then tie a row of chicken wire (36" or more)
to
the top of the fence material. The chicken wire is then proped up at
intervals,
to provide an extra height/width barrier which may also discourage 'coons
and
'possums a bit. The theory is that deer can jump high, or wide, but not
both.
Also, that coons and possums don't like to climb on wobbly stuff.
So far, it's only a theory, but I hope I can try it this spring.
