I live by the mountain and have a bad deer problem. I got 8' black plastic 1 3/4" holes that has kept the pesky deer out. I have 2 yards next to each other and my back yards are against a irrigation canal. I put the deer fencing all along the back and between the houses. My whole back yard is fenced so the deer stay out. I made gates to get in and out that are pretty user friendly. It has been a real blessing. (I looked on the internet under '8' plastic deer fencing'.) To me it was a great investment.
