Building Deer Exclosures
One design that we like for deer exclosures uses 7' black plastic anti-deer fencing:

(currently $213 for 330' or 100m if you buy 4+). This fencing can be strung around existing trees, saving on fenceposts, is easy to repair, already tall enough, and appears quite tough. It also tends to disappear once you're out 20-30 yards, pleasing those concerned about aesthetics in the woods. You can also use plastic zip-ties to secure the fencing to trees and itself (e.g., for repairs or a door). With luck, it will also last a long time, allowing you to re-use it.
