It will take a lot more than a 5 foot fence to keep deer or racoons out. My
father watched deer jump a fence much higher than than (8 feet?). ANd racoons
can climb just fine.

I watched a 10-12 *point deer jump a chain link fence 8-10' high.
Caught his legs, trips and rolled on the ground. Got up and made
tracks.

Smaller critters will likely go under a chain link fence; unless
secured with rebar.

I wonder about a 5' wooden fence though? I vaguely recall that a deer
or other animals won't jump a fench they can't see through.
