Can you help me with the height of the fence?

10 years ago

i.e. what is the height from ground to top of the fence, and is there a top wire strung above the fencing material to reach height needed to prevent deer from jumping over it?

Thank you for your inquiry. That fence was 7.5' high and is typical of low visibility residential deer fences. It did not have any additional cables above. The client has been protected for 10+ years in a high pressure environment with no problems. When we install more visible commercial or agricultural style fencing, we normally install to an 8' height.
