Default deer in my garden

i have tried everything! now, i am ready to put up an electric fence
to keep them out. any advice would be greatly appreciated. how high
does an electric fence need to be? 4 feet? 6 feet? 8 feet? and
how far apart do the strands of wire need to be? 6"? 12"?

This was already discussed here about a week ago. My electric fence is a single
strand of wire at about 3 foot high. Although they could jump it, I believe
that it works because it is hard for them to see. They get zapped and quickly
learn that my garden is not a deer friendly environment.
