First off I think you're under-estimating the power of a fence charger, even a small one will easily charge a few MILES of clean fence.

All you need to do is run some low voltage landscape lighting cable which is much like 2 condctor lamp or extension cord wire but designed for outside use, from the charger to the fence itself, then hook up the fence wire to it.

If your veggie patch is that exposed the deer will certainly be after it, the easiest way to protect it is to run several rows of wires about 4' apart, each consisting of at least 4 strands and 6' high, two rows minimum, four is better.

After all the wire is run, be sure to tie lots of plastic safety (caution) tape all along all the rows. The deer will not try to get through the multiple rows of electric wire.

Best of luck.

Jeff, they can't read, but thy sure can see, the tape show them there's something there. Lets them know theres more than one row too. In theory nothing but fishing line strung that way wil work, but it won't stop other smaller pests like young deer or stray livestock.

Greg, it's been our experience that a single 6' fence does nt even slow them down, but several rows, about 4' apart makes a high enough barrier that they can't jump them al in a single go, and 4' isn't enough space for them to either land or jump the next fence without getting tangled, something they will avoid. Deer instinctively just stay away from risky situations.

Best of luck.
