We have five foot board fence lined with wire on the front side, and 5'-6' wire mesh on sides. Right now they're just stepping on stuff, but I'm sure nibbling with start soon now that everything is up.

We are planning on running wire mesh along the bean and pea rows for them to run up, maybe the squash and tomatoes. I'm thinking they will see that and realize they can't get a bounce in between the hurdles. They will have to go to the ends to go around them. Of course, if they do manage to navigate all that, I'm sure they'll wipe out the corn and such before jumping the boundary fence out.
