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.


Try Tractor Supply. That is where we got ours. I strung a low wire for
awhile to teach our Border Collie to stay off the fence.
