How to get Taller wire fence?

[SarahGfa]

I dont' know if I have been lucky or what, but I have a very active pack of coyotes on my 20 acres and have never had one of them clumb my wood and livestock fence, which is only 5 feet. Maybe my pack is not too smart, they will dig under , but not over. I have lived here for 20 years and have never had one inside my 3 acres which is triple fenced.
Interesting that so many people hve had them climb over.

I think it depends on where you live. Here, people aren't allowed to shoot or trap coyotes, so they are very bold and will climb fences, jump over walls, walk right up to the door, eat people's cats and little dogs.

Wow Yes, no closed season here for coyotes except for trapping. Only allowed to trap during trapping season, Fair game for hunting anytime that's the way I like it.

I have a 4 ft chain link fence that I attached 1/4 inch hardware cloth (48 inches tall) around the bottom then added another 48 inches of hardware cloth to the top of the chain link fence. I have to find a better way to secure the top, but it has worked well so far.

So far the hawks haven't been interested in the chickens though it's likely b/c they are so close to the house and we are constantly in and out with dogs.

For the run I'm not too concerned as the coop is in the middle and the hawk would have to dive, catch, and go up in a narrow area. The pasture I'm more concerned about as it will be open air space. So we shall see. Hoping to get some roosters in our SR lot this spring for alert at least.

today I discovered my new dog could jump cleanly over a 4' fence. My whole back yard is fenced in w. steel T posts and heavy 4' high wire fencing.

I'd rather not have to pull and replace all the posts (it's about an acre that's fenced in).

My ideas so far:

1. Buy a bunch of fence posts, cut them to 18", drag my generator and wire welder around the yard and add a foot to each post. Downsides: A lot of the area is wooded/rocky making it a PITA to move the genny and welder. Sanding the coating off the posts prior to welding and painting after.

2. Buy a bunch of fence posts, cut them to 18" then drill two 1/4" holes and add galv. nut/bolt. This seems like it will be easier than the method above as I can walk around w. a cordless drill and impact driver and a pocket full of nuts and bolts.

what about coyote rolls? that's exactly what's they are for: https://amzn.to/3W0riJS that might help the dog not try to get over the fence and be the easiest, possibly cheapest, solution.
