It will take a lot more than a 5 foot fence to keep deer or racoons

I believe deer can go even higher.
But my experience says they won't.

For a veggy garden, they will. My dad told me he watched, when his fence was 8
feet tall probably, a deer standing still sideways to the fence jump over it in
one motion.

Not surprised, but I thought Hosta were number one on their menu.
Yeah I suppose veggies might be even more attractive.
