Also. If they’re jumping they won’t be grounded they first time they touch it, so if you simply must use that fence then you have to train them to it. Maybe some tinfoil with peanut butter smeared on it. Shock the crap out of them so they know that specific fence is spicy.

Thanks. I'm just trying to use materials I already have. It isn't ideal. I may just get some pencil posts and individually fence the trees.

Even tack pencil posts onto those posts and then put streamers above that fence. Just something to disorient them, and make them believe they can’t jump it. I’ve seen deer jump an 8 foot fence easy if the path is clear, and I’ve seen them turned aside by a 4 foot fence if the landing is odd.
