How to get Taller wire fence?

[SarahGfa]

6' at tsc https://www.tractorsupply.com/tsc/product/red-brand-horse-fence-72-in-x-100-ft @SarahGfa

6' is OK. I called the local TSC and the guy said that fence is ordered from local suppliers so 7' is not available at my store. Could I put up 6' fence and another 2' of rabbit fence on TOP of that, or is that a dumb idea? I already have tall-enough tposts, but 6' fence just doesn't seem high enough to be secure.

Not sure what type of fence you refer to as rabbit fence? But as long as it is heavy duty enough it should be doable. Might be a little difficult to work with at 6' to 8' height. And you would probably need all t-posts at 10 feet in length so 8' above ground to support the top 2' of fencing.

You're fencing an acre to keep coyotes out?
Any plans to put any hot wire around, or something to keep them(and others) from digging under?

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.

Has electric fence but has restrictions on use.

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).

Interested in how this turns out. We put up a 6' chain link run but I'm not sure that's going to be enough for the coyotes. We also plan to have a pasture fenced area we the 4' write 3 fence. Looking into a hot wire to put around it to keep the coyotes away.

Would probable get the job done but is not as heavy duty as other fencing you're looking at. But would be a little easier to work with at 6' and 8' height.

I would do the math on price of everything with the two different fencing not as heavy duty VS single 8' fencing all heavy duty and if the extra work to put up the two different fences is worth the extra effort + price difference. And make a decision after that.

Two rolls of short fences cheaper than the single 8' fencing, for sure, because I have to pay freight to get 8' fencing delivered. Also the 8' fence roll weighs 250 lbs, so I don't know how I would install that even if I had someone to help
But if there are major problems with stacking two short fences, like if coyotes can squeeze in where they overlap, or if it is not durable that way, then maybe I will go with another option
