Della, it's a 30 inch high rabbit fence; small openings on the bottom half that get progressively larger toward the top. I use round steel farm type posts for the straight run sides and larger farm type steel posts as corner posts. It keeps the bunnies and the like out but not the deer. If they get too curious, I then run an electric fence wire along the top using a solar agricultural electric unit rated for three miles range. Deer learn quickly and surprisingly don't forget. They're afraid of the fence. This year I haven't put the electric wire up yet because they still walk a big circle around the garden.
