If you are looking for affordable and super durable netting, I found a source in Europe that makes pro soccer netting (golf and batting cage netting as well) at any size you need. I bought pieces as large as 200' x 20' and 30' x 80' for my enclosure and it cost a fraction of what the cheap bird...

I was thinking to use poly wire - the exact measurement would be 4.2" from the hot wire attached to the outside of the wood blocks. Would this work? I could even run 2 poly wires for ground - one on each side of the wood blocks - would create somewhat of a deadly triangle - 2 ground wires 4"...
Thanks for the reply.
Couple things
1) I verified the voltage with a meter and it is 8000v - I also upgraded the charger to a 20KV / 6.2 Joule just in case. I want a major deterrent here. Wires are out of reach of dogs and humans currently. Basically there is no reason I would reach above...
