I found an interesting article on a slanted electrified deer fence
that sounds relatively cheap to put up (see

l for details). Might go that way...but they don't make it clear how
to do corner posts for this design.


The local solution where deer jump 6 ft fence is to put in two 6 foot
fences about 5 or 6 feet apart. They don't have to be very well
constructed - metal fence posts work fine with this technique. After a
few years they tend to sag and look disreputable. If you won't be able
to see it, that doesn't much matter. You could do something nicer
within sight lines.
