Discarded
white electric fence tape can be strung above the top
strand of barbed wire, secured to wooden fence posts
with fencing staples, or tied with cable ties to star
pickets.. If tying lengths of tape together, avoid loose
ends if likely to tempt grazing livestock.
The tape offers good visibility, as it is white and
shimmies in the wind; it also acts as a physical barrier.
It is cheap, quick and easy to put up, especially over
long distances. The photos below show Brian Naughton,
the originator of the idea, on his property on the Atherton
Tablelands.
