The "new" fence is 2" chicken wire at the bottom

24" above the top edge of the chicken wire . If the dog's reaction (last
fall , t'was accidental) is any guide , Bambi won't want a second taste
of the fence .

Electric tops out 42-48" from the ground? Bambi won't even slow down
while sailing right over it. No reason to touch it. Grab some plastic
deer mesh (cheap, works) and run it up to 7 or 8 feet high. If you want
to do electric fence for deer there's a design that angles out which
supposedly causes them to try to crawl through and get zapped, but I
think even that is up 6 feet or more and is kinda annoying to build with
the angled bit. 7-8 feet of black plastic mesh is a bit hard to see and
they tend to bounce off rather than make it over. I have seen orchards
go to 12 feet of 6 inch wire mesh, but that's a whole other kettle of
money.
