Just trying to think of something super easy to put out there. Would the deer bump it over if it wasn't staked into the ground? Is it just easier to have a small metal stake, a couple feet of woven fencing and tie it all up? Thoughts?

A 6' section will make a circular cage of about 2' in diameter. They still need to be staked or they will get pushed over. I use those green plastic coated metal garden stakes, two for each cage. https://www.homedepot.com/p/Everbilt-3-ft-x-50-ft-14-Gauge-Welded-Wire-308301EB/205960855 https://www.homedepot.com/p/Gardener-s-Blue-Ribbon-Sturdy-Stake-3-ft-Garden-Stake-ST3/100342858 If you can't laugh at yourself, give me a call.
