   security?

   "warning" to keep people from causualy entering?

   That plastic orange fencing won't do much if you are looking to keep people in or out.

   OTOH, if you are simply looking for something to warn people, then it's fine.  I put it around my septic field while we are building to keep heavy trucks from driving on it.

   It's falling down in places, but it still lets them know that something is there.

   Todd,

   Uhhh. . . The best fencing is an 8' tall block wall topped with broken glass and electrified razor wire, backed up with a pack of Dobermans and armed guards with machine gun turrets at each corner and fronted with a 20' moat filled with hungry alligators and Pirahna fish.

    

   I don't know if you can rent one.

    

   Did that help?????

   Personally I like the new laser pulse fences with burst plasma emitter turrets on articulating gimbels every 20' or so.  Keeps the neighbors from gettin to close and as  a side benefit they cut down(sic) on squirrels!  They do use a lot of electricity though...am looking into a portable fusion generator.

   Does the system you describe work and look better than wiring together a bunch of old pallets?

   I also need a portable 5 Gw fusion generator for my squirrel ionizer. Let me know if you know where I can get a good deal on one. I am having a difficult time obtaining one at all, Home Depot chick just looked at me with big cow eyes and said they were all out of stock. Also do you have linear motors on the articulating gimbals? My closed loop servos are somewhat unstable and I found one ionizer had overshot the target and vaporized the rear half of a UPS truck.

   MB,

   Check with Michael (Mighty Mite) O'Neal.

   He may be able to drop one off for ya.

   I'm still looking for the fusion generator as I just upgraded the system from a roof mounted railgun.  While I liked the railgun better, it made a mess of the squirrels and the neighbors (that stayed out of range) complained about the noise.

   Yeah, been there - done that.  I'm thinking a compact particle accelerator might actually create less mess than a rail gun.

   I've always found that even the compact accelerators were bulky, took too much room to spin up the charged particles to a ballistic velocity.  They seem finicky when it came time to reroute them to the emitter, a gimbel with 360 deg traverse and a wide elevation made for some tricky wiring of the electromagnets around an articulating acceleration cylinder.  The laser turrets are easier to wire, requiring only an electrically hot azimuth race ring in contact with the turret base.  The race ring powers both the laser emitter as well as the gimbel motors and tracking hardware.

   To get on topic, I threw up the green metal mesh fencing attached to the posts pounded in the ground in a day around a 60 by 250 lot.  It's 4' and keeps my lab out of traffic.

   It took all day because I kept having to put down my barley pop because the wife wouldn't stand next to me and hold it.  The pop I mean.

   As long as we're back on topic, my lab/ australian shepherd cannot be confined by a 6 foot fence. She easily sails over a 4 foot without contact unless she wants to kick off the top for added velocity.  A six foot jump is ungainly and usually results in more of a jump/climb.

   And I have to agree that the lasers are more practical, but I find high powered proton emitters are more pleasantly received by the general population, especially in the ultraviolet wavelength.

   You could always check out this article in Scientific American on how to build your own cyclotron.  Nice thing about this is that if you miss enough not to vaporize the squrrel, you still render him incapable of reproducing.

   in the city , when we fence a site, we rent chain link sections, they ncome with concrete blocksyou set on the ground, then you put the fence section on the block.
