Can you put this on top of a five foot fence to keep coyotes out?

absolutely! We used it around the koi pond to keep out racoons, they were "buzzed" twice and now they never come back. Great training tool.

The plastic support posts can easily be drilled to allow screw attachment to a wooden post and you would have an approx. 15 inch increase in fence height resulting from the post and shock wires that can installed either 4 or 8 inches apart. The electric pulse is sufficient to "peg" my voltmeter on the 1000 vac scale so should be sufficient to give a pretty good scare into a coyote. Good luck! Roger

We just use it to keep small dogs in the yard, but my husband thinks it should work to keep coyotes out.

I would think you could, Yes. But the coyotes would have to touch it. If they are just going over, it wouldn't work. And if they got in your area, if they knew it shocked, they will be reticent to hop back over to get out. But if they touch it trying to go over to get in, it will definitely deter them.

We used it to try keep otters out. It did not work. Go to your local feed and seed and put some real electricity behind it. Keeping a hungry animal out is hard. On them and us. The otter we tried to keep out cleaned out more than 40 butterfly koi that were 18" long...it was heartbreaking.

OMG YES! We had a 'FENCE CLIMBER!' and the very first time he got zapped? It rocked his World. He didn't know WHAT hit him! I cowered in his kennel for 2 days. Then he tried it again. ZAP! Again...cowered a day in his kennel. After that? We left it on for a week, then disconnected it. He had ZERO desire to hop that fence. If you are going to use it for coyotes, I'd leave it on 24/7 due to them roaming and you're not going to be able to teach just one that is place is 'Off limits'. Would I recommend this product? YES!!!

I doubt it. It's a very short, small section of fence. You need to really look at the dimensions, and remember that some of that goes below ground. More decorative than functional. It's a single, small accent piece. I use one to hold a mum plant back from the sidewalk.

I have mine mounted up above my shed door; I don't think anything as small as a raccoon would set it off; and even if it did it isn't bright enough to scare them away if that is the goal. Haven't gone through a winter yet with mine, but I think it would be difficult to adjust. If you look at the picture, you'll see three re-enforcement bends where the bracket is. You could could certainly mount it on something angled though, that would be an easy fix.

Yes, you will need to provide some sort of barrier to contain it. It does not have to be a full fence. I have used small stone pavers and 1 foot high garden fencing. Also it will turn around if it hits pavement or a walkway so you can use those features of your yard to contain it's wandering.

Absolutely! It's a powerful device but you must have a wire(s) close enough, low enough, or high enough for the intruders to come in contact with if they're of the mind to get into your pond. Look up on youtube how to install an e-fence. Very easy! It's the only (and I mean ONLY) thing that's ever kept deer out of my garden.

Hi Lisa, I've used product for your basic question, coyotes, first thing I must urge you to be cognizant of, THE WIND !! it will be of little concern if the wind is in your face, you will be "praying" for eye wash and fresh air :-) I've found this to be a very powerful product. I would not hesitate to use on 'yotes out to 30 yards, I hope not to need it, but I would start against a Bear confrontation at 35 yards (downwind) and continue until affected !!! I wonder in canister temperature and maybe age of product had something to do with the 10 yard claim? not sure, its strong I know that. hope this helped Hi Lisa, I've used product for your basic question, coyotes, first thing I must urge you to be cognizant of, THE WIND !! it will be of little concern if the wind is in your face, you will be "praying" for eye wash and fresh air :-) I've found this to be a very powerful product.

I use it to keep iguanas out of my garden tower. As long as you wire it up according to the instructions I don't see why it won't work. The fence has defiantly deterred the iguanas from getting thru.

Most likely, but I wouldn't recommend it for larger game like Coyotes because the bolts will most likely not kill them instantly, and you'll be putting an animal through a lot of pain and suffering. It's more than capable of killing an intruder, but I'm not sure how hard a coyote's skull is, and it will be very difficult to hit it in the heart from a distance further than 20 or 30 feet or so.

I have mine on my roof, but if I remember right they are about 3 inches to 4 inches apart at the tip. They are rigid enough to discourage cats and would work well on top of a fence.

Yes,this netting is flexible and is only 4' high. It is perfect for keeping rabbits, squirrels, and the like from entering your garden, but it will not keep deer at bay. I would not use it as a tent cover over garden.

I doubt that it would keep animals away from a large area. It keeps cats away from marking our back door and stored feed in the shed, but they still come close.

Every 8 ft. apart will do it for most applications, but the netting isn't metal so you can't stretch it to make it taut. Also, mule deer will easily jump over anything less than 8 ft. high. You need to have 2 barrier type fences for deer, although one can be as simple as a single strand of wire. If they feel they can't easily scale both width and height, they won't jump it; or if it leaves them with a feeling that they might become entrapped within the 2 barriers, they won't attempt it. Hope that helps with your strategy.

They will be set off by the smaller animals if you want them to. I have used them to keep geese and foxes away; but if you want the animals to be ignored, I would by the model without the stakes, and then tie them or attach them to a building or tree. Keep them a bit higher, and you won't have a problem. They are wonderful units and survived our harsh winter this year.

(From a coyote hunter and owner of this airsoft gun perspective) This airsoft gun is not very loud so chances are that would not scare it off, the coyote may run away if you shoot it with this but chances are it will be back soon, coyotes are on the predator list in some states and i do not know if you live in one of them, but if you do you could just shoot it with a regular gun or a bow, if not you could trap it with a large box trap and let it go somewhere else, but hey if you want it's worth a shot to shoot it with this, good luck.

I don't see any reason why it can't. You have to use the plastic guides they have the wire for the fence has to go thru those but I don't thing it would be any problem installing it on a stockade sort of fence. The power pack is battery operated so that wouldn't have any bearing on how high up the wire is located. I think they also sell a solar power pack too. But I don't see any issues at all with this sort of installation

You can easily set it up on top of cement, but you wouldn't be able to anchor it, so if the animal you are containing is strong, they would be able to move it around. It isn't meant to be permanent in any case.

I would say yes. Keep in mind that the fence is not that tall. The fence poles go down into the ground which makes the fence pretty sturdy.
