I just ordered about 500 feet of bi-polar fencing from Horseguard. The person there told me exactly what I needed, and put my invoice together. Answered all my questions.
For me, the problem with sheep netting, wire, etc, is that I WANT wildlife to be able to travel. I am a supporter of the natural habitat as much as possible. They need all the help they can get.
I switched to Parmak Solar Fieldmaster last year after two weeks of no electric. Wish I would have done it sooner. It was easier to install and held a better charge than a solar Zaremba I had in another pasture. The key is grounding- make sure your rods are placed deep enough and the correct distance apart.

In my location, I’m not that worried. The wildlife I prefer to keep out would be the coyotes and cougars… My tasty little Katahdins are just too tempting… Given that I live bordering some of most remote wilderness around (over 600,000 acres of National forest, not to mention all the DNR land around here…), I think depriving them of my little 13 acres is OK (But I do see your point)
Is the permanent fence electrified? Because we just used step-in stakes and tied a line of hot tape to the regular fence wire.
Heads up that this is an old thread bumped by now-deleted spam.
Aw, dang it. Now I look like an idiot LOL
