My electric fence is a wire strung across a number of plastic posts, and
powered by a solar box that cost about $100. The fence is only about 4'
high, but that is at nose-level for the deer, and since I installed it
my garden seems to be off the menu! It was super easy to set up, too.
Where did you get the electric fence? I just tried Home Depot and Lowes
and all they have are the electric pet collars, I don't think putting a
collar on a rabid raccoon is an option.

local: Tractor Supply, Southern States, etc.

Online: Kencove, Premier




I got mine at Tractor Supply as well, near Cleveland OH. The brand I got
is Zareba: http://www.zarebasystemsinc.com/

The one I got is solar powered, so I didn't have to run electric.

Same here. I use a 30 mile rated one for small pasture and pigs, and
then just bought another smaller 6 mile one to move around for
intensive grazing.

Brand I have is Statesman, which is just a Southern States branded
version made by Parmac.

I get the wire, clips, and posts from Tractor Supply, just because
they're closest.

Some electrified chicken netting might be better suited for the OP's
problem, and then I would look online to Premier and Kencove. This
type has the posts incorporated in the mesh, so you just buy the mesh,
and then charge it.
