You would be correct yes!I like it .... I assume that ever other wire is hot and the ones in between are ground?

Are all these wires hot? or alternating earth & hot?I strongly advise you to run a series of wires extending outward from the fence on top .It will keep foxes and cats out.
3 strands of hot near the bottom and lay chicken wire on the ground .Don't forget to ground the fence wire.Repeat at the top.My fence is connected to my ground so anything that touches the fence and the hot wires will get zapped. I also used metal fence posts.
Thank you,3 strands of hot near the bottom and lay chicken wire on the ground .Don't forget to ground the fence wire.Repeat at the top.
cmom, does that bottom wire keep out the little things ... weasels/rats?I posted a couple of links above that may help you. I have electric wires around my coops and pens, good heavy duty netting covering all of my pens and concrete under the gates all due to losses from predators in the past. So far nothing has gotten past the hot wires. Make sure your fence charger packs a good wallop as the predator won't be phased by a tickle. You want the predator to know the hot wires are there and hurts. I use the poly rope wires. Good luck...

This is the fence charger I have on at my outer coops and anything that touches the wires will hurt. I think the adult predators teach their young that a bird isn't worth getting zapped for.

@ChickensComeHome2Roost How does the animal get shocked? Is the wall considered "ground?" Is this a product or something you put together?I strongly advise you to run a series of wires extending outward from the fence on top .It will keep foxes and cats out.
