Fencing Rabbit Deterrent

Good Afternoon Gardeners.
We are first time fruit and veg growers, having bought a house with a fruit and veg patch. We are itching to plant our seedlings out, but we have a resident wild garden rabbit. We don't want to have spoils if we can avoid them, and we know our produce is likely to be a prize season for the rabbits.
We have been informed that rabbits 'don't jump'. If that is the case, would a fence around our patch be the solution. If you are using a fence to protect your vegetables, can you recommend one that we could buy or make?
Any advice would be helpful. Thank you.
Vicky
