Having tried every method I could think of, this is the deer fencing I have been using effectively now for 5 years. It costs about $4.00 per year and takes about 20-30 minutes to put up.\rbrI use a continuous piece of line tying the end to the lower part of the first post, wrapping it 2-3 times around each post after that. When I get to the last post, I simply tie it and run it up the post, wrap it a few times and go back around. Repeat until all strands are finished.\rbrI recommend the bottom strand to be about 12-18 from the ground to enable the grass to be trimmed with a string trimmer without getting tangled.\rbrAs for effectiveness, my neighbor insists on using electric fence. I have no issues with deer getting into my garden while he usually has 4 or 5 in his garden every night. I ran into the same results when I tried the electric fence. As they can see the wire, they simply jump over it.
