Our place fortunately came high fenced (8') and that keeps them out.
However some new folks up the road became our friends and put in a huge
garden with only a 4' chain link fence. We thought the writing was on
the wall! However the deer don't jump the fence. He claims it's because
it is BLACK. Another friend, upon hearing this, painted just the top
rail of his short garden fence black and they've stayed away! So I'm
thinking there may be something to this, as our area is overrun with
native and exotic deer.
