[Alpacasite] Re: Fw: protection/gate weakness

Hi Sandy. I have the standard 5' no-climb, but also have two electic
wires running around the outside of the fence - one low and one at
the top. Each is separately powered by a solar charger. I also laid
a 32" fence on the ground all the way around the outside and
attached it to the botom of the vertical fence. I tucked the outside
down into a trench I had dug with a trencher.
