I think I would use multiple fence chargers so they can’t just short out one circuit and kill the whole fence. Or I could go all North Korean on them....

It's probably just a regular of special fence charger, probably would be the cheapest way to build something with the least chance of intrusion?

But I can say that climbing 8' chain link with barbed wire at the top isn't that hard...

Not sure which one would be more or less difficult to get through, but when you cut a row of chainnlink, the rest folds up like an accordion. I like concertina across the top, but the stuff you described works too. Might be easier to work with. Motion activated alarms can be effective. -bp -- bp part15sbs{at}gmail{dot}com On Tue, Apr 10, 2018 at 12:16 PM, Chuck McCown <ch...@wbmfg.com> wrote: I need to build a fence. Keep people out of my equipment yard. Lost a few things over the years, mostly radiators, wiring batts etc. Copper stuff. So, what kind of fence. How tall. I am thinking 10’/8’ T post with hog/goat welded wire. Perhaps with those barbed wire brackets (if I can get them to fit) with three strands of barbed wire angling outward. Could do shorter. Could do chain link. Could do three strands of straight barbed wire at the top of 6’. Not sure I need to do the 2 3/8 pipe posts cemented in the ground except for the corners. If they will cut hog wire they will cut chain link I think. Chain link fence company quoted $25/foot. Cops say motion activated lights are the best deterrent. Followed by working or not cameras. And I am doing/will do both of these. Opinions please.
