Wayne,
In case you do not get any replies from more knowledgable people I will
relate my observations while working on a small farm in the Hebrides many
years ago. Deer would jump the sheep fences and walls to get at the turnips
grown on the inbye land. The farmer had great success by running one strand
of electric wire above the sheep fences.

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"?
