How tall does the shade cloth have to be in the alley way to keep the deer from hitting the fence? What is the best material to use?

We use 8' for ours but we leave one side about 40' short of the other side this seems to work well for us!
I know of a very successful MO farmer that uses only 4' cloth in his alley leading to the handling facility. Told me that he'd never had one attempt to leap over it but did say he held it 1' off the ground, so approximately 5' up on the fence. I don't have permission to say who but this guy is a veteran farmer and very well respected.
