In my Connecticut garden, a couple of decades ago, about 3/4 of my one acre garden had an electric fence. Actually it was a pair of fences, about 2 feet apart. Deer do not like to jump in a place where they cannot easily jump out.While deer are able to jump high they do not broad jump easily. The one fence had two galvanized wires, the other fence had three. Deer have poor depth perception, and the fencing wires at different levels were confusing. The wires were scarcely visible to human eyes. Deer have hollow hair, which somewhat insulates. The fence charger was a Gallagher, developed in New Zealand for use with sheep. So there was a high wooden fence across the bottom of the driveway which meant we could drive in / out of the garage without opening gates. The electric fences ran down the remaining side of the property, across the back, and went up the other side. Across a piece along the street, then back down to my tool shed which, along with the house and another fence section, closed off the protected portion of the property. It worked exceedingly well. Another option - which I have not used myself - fasten 2 foot wide chicken wire to battens and lay it on the ground so it is somewhat raised above the ground. Grass can grow through it if you wish. Apparently deer do not like to step into the fencing wire mesh, supposedly fearing that their feet will be caught.
