Hot wire on run - grounding question

[Jubilee1111]

I have a large chicken run that is made of 6' tall chain link dog kennel panels. The panels run underneath the barn roof overhang. A raccoon could easily climb down from the roof and into the run. It is covered with netting but that isn't going to stop anything but birds of prey.

I am running several lines of hot wire along the kennel panels to prevent raccoons climbing or pushing in. If I put hot wire along the top of the panels, would a coon climbing in from the roof be grounded enough to receive a shock?

Thanks in advance!

Yes if the coon is touching anything he will be shocked. And if you have a metal roof it will deffinitely work since he will be touching metal when he touches the electric fence.
