Double Fence

A deer has a great sense of smell, but they do not have very good depth perception with their eyes. So, if you are to build a fence and then build another fence a few feet behind the first fence a deer will feel extremely uncomfortable with the jump. The deer will not want to jump for a few reasons. First, the deer does not want to risk hitting the other fence. Second, the deer does not want to feel caught between two fences. A double fence is a great way to keep deer out, but it can also be a great design feature to your home as well.

Security Fence

A very popular fence, that just happens to be a good deer fence is a security fence. A deer does have a good sense of smell, and may know that your garden has tasty vegetables or fruits, but unless it can verify that there is no danger, the deer will not jump. A deer will not jump if it feels like there is any way that life could be in danger. A fence that blocks the view of your garden or grass can be one of the most simple ways to keep deer out.
