This was my first design. Cost about $15. Plastic fence mounted on garden stakes. Worked pretty good for 3 months. The deer used to nibble on the shoots once in a while, but it did not bother me. Then in late summer deer must have been running low of juicy food so they tore my Asian pear tree in half and this was what was left. Had about 7 pears on it.

Did not have the time or money to spend to re fence all my trees so I tried to reinforce some of the trees that looked like they may be more deer resistant than the Asian pear in their fence design. So I added some palisades I made from wire fence on the top and bottom of the plastic fence. So far so good...but it has only been a week after the Asian pear attack

Here is a close up of the palisades.

This is my final design. I use 6 foot T posts and 4 foot welded wire fence. The deer sometime test it and I find creases. To make them more secure you can cut the top and bottom strands off and make integral palisades. Fence footprint is about 42 inch square and cost about $35 per tree.

I got the idea from a peak oiler. He makes a large circle from the wire fence and puts it on the ground around the tree. He stakes it in with garden staples. I prefer to be able to cut my grass under it, so I opted for T post mounts.

I also made a palisade that hangs over the bottom of my gate to keep rabbits out. Works good, but the baby rabbits just go though the fence holes.
