How to get Taller wire fence?

[SarahGfa]

I want to surround my yard with woven wire fence (the heavy stuff) but I can only find it in 48" height (4 feet tall) at Tractor Supply. We're supposed to have at least 7 to 8 feet fence to keep coyotes out. Where do people get taller fences? Can I double up and put one fence on top of another attached to t-posts? The fence roll is reallllly heavy so I have no idea how I would even do that, lol. I'm trying to fence at least an acre.

You could, if you can find tall/long enough Tposts.
Won't be easy tho.

i already bought a bunch of 8' t-posts and some 10' t-posts. somehow it is easy to find tall t-posts but impossible to find tall fence! it's like selling hot dogs in packs of 12 but hot dog buns in packs of 10. makes no sense.

Can you attach a few rows on electric fence on top? Feed stores have taller chainlink? Or you can layer sime deer fence on it. Coyotes can climb a 6 ft chain link fence easily, at least they can here.

Is deer fence the black plastic stuff? I have electric fence right now but the county says we have to turn it off during fire season so it's basically useless for 4 months out of the year here.

My local tractor supply carries woven wire in 6 or 7 foot heights...that's what I use around the chicken run. If your TSC doesn't carry it, they may be able to order it? If not, maybe a Home Depot or Lowes?

I'm sure you could hog ring the two fences together at seem to keep things from squeezing in between the two. Hog rings are cheap and easy to use.

This^^^....and definitely overlap at least 4".

I already have electric fence but it has to be turned off part of the summer, which is ALWAYS when I have coyote attacks. The ground is rocks and clay, so pretty much impossible to dig unless they go at it for hours and hours (everyone is locked up at night).

Oh, yeah, sorry.... forgot about the fire restrictions.
