Thinking about using those 8 foot green fence rails to build a 7' high fence. With the wire of course.. I know deer can jump a 6' high fence easily.... Not sure if they can jump an 8 foot fence.
I was thinking maybe I could keep the height at 7' - with 1' of the green post in the ground - and possibly covering the top with wire fencing... Or maybe 6' high with the green post being 2' in the ground..... Still covering the top with fencing wire.
What I don't want is to come outside and find a deer on top of the fence, and the deer being injured. I don't know if they would recognize the top having fencing on it.
I have a neighbor who swears that she needs 9 foot high fencing to keep the deer out... And that is what she has.... I don't want to go that high.
Is my idea about having fencing on the top a bad idea?
