The deer fence is from Benner's Gardens and is 8 feet high, 1 1/2" square mesh black PVC. It has been up for over 20 years, with numerous repairs for damage from fallen branches and the occasional deer that took exception to it. Most of it is hung from trees with roofing nails. I have shortened the runs in many places by adding extra powder coated galvanized posts, doubled the fence up in high pressure areas and added a straining wire along the top. It is pinned with ground stakes. The gate across the driveway is essential, as are the kids to open and close it
