Better check your city code before you consider installing a hot wire. They are illegal in many places and your neighbor might report you. My neighbor ran one unbeknownst to me along our fence to keep his dogs off it and my little 5 year old niece climbed up on the fencing into the 3rd row of cox fencing - about 8" up, wearing open sandals to look at the dogs before my sister could get to her, felt a shock on the skin of her foot, got scared and screamed like a Banshee, lost her hold and fell, ripping open her chin on the fencing, bit through her tongue as she fell, bled and bled and screamed and screamed and once we got her back from the ER and cleaning and stitches and tetanus and antibiotics and pain medicine, me, my sister and BIL went OFF on that man, called the police and it was the awfullest mess. I think if the long cut had been on her cheek or got her eye instead of her chin and tongue bite, they would have sued him they were so horrified and scared and worried. She probably still has that scar on her chin. The police ticketed him and got an order from a judge for him to remove it. They came and watched while he did! I think he forever held it against me but I was not sure he'd rigged it right and was scared our son, who was only 1 at the time, would get hurt by it, too.
