"How high do you place your wire for deer? "

around the front yard for decoratives ie tulips and myrtle, a single
strand about 20 inches high was sufficient.
For taller shrubs and rhodadendrun a second strand at 3 feet did the
job, but was placed two feet in front of shrubs so they couldn't eat
over it.

neighbor has fancy daylily beds 40 feet across ...that single 3 foot
strand keeps them out

note: they don't jump over a live wire ..they munch on grass nearby and
meander towards the good stuff ...either their ears or wet nose tounch
the fence and they bolts backwards 10+ feet ...something to watch
grin

if you try to keep rabbits out with a low wire ie 6 inches ...you
better mulch down that area so weeds don't short it out

I leave mine on 24/7 at garden unless I am there and then I turn it off

BTW ..I am NOT talking about running barbwire type weight heavy wire
....I got a 1000ft spool of cheap surplus galvanized steel fine guage
wire that is strong enough so you can't just break it in your hands
....easy to handle and wind up ..if you are buying from farm supply, get
the lightest and cheapest they sell.
