Such privacy fences are quite effective, as deer can't tell what is on the other side. Even if they can smell what is on the other side, and it's attractive to them, they can't be sure that danger isn't lurking there as well. One less expensive variation on the high fence is to use a commercial heavy-weight deer netting if the deer pressure is low to moderate. These products are quite popular for home gardens as they are easier to work with than wire mesh, are less expensive, and blend into the landscape.
Another inexpensive solution is stringing single strands of monofilament twine such as deep sea fishing twine between posts, about six inches apart. If deer pressure is really low, you might even get by with a single strand about two feet off the ground. Deer bump into this, are surprised at something they didn't or can't see, so may flee.
Keep in mind deer can't see well poor depth perception , so many advocate hanging streamers on the lower strands or netting so deer can see them and don't just try running through. Some recommend not putting such ribbon streamers on the top as this tells the deer the fence height.
Some have even suggested adding streamers on extensions above the fence, to make deer think it is even taller and so even harder to jump. Some advocate using white streamers to mimic the white tail signal that deer use to warn of danger.
There are many variations of electric fences. You may begin with a single strand, about 30 inches off the ground. After a more thorough search of GardenWeb, it looks like the answer also varies regionally.
Has anyone in the Hudson Valley actually had deer jump a 6' see-through wire or plastic mesh fence? Wrought Iron Fence Height.
Choosing a good fence height. I had a deer wander into my garden because I was stupid and left the gate open and then frantically jump to get out of my six foot fence, and it took her a couple of leaps and crashes before she managed - so, I think they can do it - but it's quite hard.
I've never had one get in unless they use the gate! My fence is 7. However, there is no doubt they can jump it if they are frightened or if a doe is being pursued by a buck. Maybe you could string a wire or barbed wire a foot above the top of the fence? I saw on tv, on a gardening show, that someone hooked a car battery to the fence. Easily rechargable, and the deer get the message pretty quick.

Knock wood. The fenced in area is 25' x 35'. I make sure there are tall things like bean towers and staked tomatoes. This makes the deer cautious about jumping into someplace that will spear them bad vision. They can definitely clear 6 feet no problem. I think the question is: how big is the area you're trying to enclose?
They don't like to jump into a small area. They don't like to jump into an area where they can't see what's on the other side. If it's a relatively small area they probably won't bother to jump in--unless they're really hungry, like in the winter.
If you had some evergreen azaleas growing in there I bet they'd jump in over the winter. But it all depends on how hungry they are and how much effort they're willing to expend to get at whatever's inside. Ask around and see what works for neighbors with similar size plots.
