imagine the look on your journeymans face when you actually come back with a wire stretcher
Electric fence poly wire and a few insulators, and this:

Almost invisible, works great at a building we own. Hurts like a mother fucker.
Squee!! Check out the new garden fencing we just bought! So excited for it to come in! My garden is going to be inspired by the garden Chip and Joanna Gaines from the show Fixer Upper on HGTV have on their farm.
It is so pretty!!
I use a 12v fence charger and portable battery for camping trips with my horses. If I added a solar panel and charge controller, it could run indefinitely. It's designed for 5 miles of fencing and produces a pretty good shock if touched. https://www.amazon.com/Zareba-EDC5M-Z-Battery-Operated-Electric/dp/B0079GH6K0
I actually have this: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00099FAJI/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1. It's a 30 mile solar charger. I have it attached to (2) 100' premier 1 goat and sheep netting.
Wiggle wire and locking channel. http://www.amazon.com/Wiggle-Channel-Greenhouse-Spring-U-Channel/dp/B01BC4HAPA/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1458595181&sr=8-3&keywords=wiggle+wire
Screw the locking channel to a 2x4 or other piece of wood then wiggle wire your poly film into the locking channel.
Yeah the cross supports on the top are removable and keep it still when extended. I used round gate hinges so the bolts slide in and out like this I don’t have any locking when it’s folded but the door hinges are somewhat level and keeps the posts from extending on their own
like this ?

You can either slide larger posts over the existing posts, or use extension sleeves for the same sized post like these.
Two options:
The post issue should be ok but, I would highly recommend stretching it as it keeps tension on the posts and makes them that much more durable. You could try using a post to stretch it but, investing in a wire stretcher was one of the best things I did.

Edited for link.
I used wiggle wire. I talked about it but it was during a wind gust so I cut it haha.

I had a situation just like this and I used a “ground screw”, the U model. It’s a bit of work but it works really well for exactly this.
Here’s a link:

I don't see it anywhere near by

You might try these inward curved fence tops.

Electricians don't, but farmers do (for building barbed wire/electric fences). If the newbie is sent to a sufficiently well-stocked hardware store the joke can backfire. Great fun. http://www.amazon.com/Dutton-Lainson-405-Heavy-Duty-Stretcher-Splicer/dp/B00004YK6I/
Also just so I make sure I know what your are talking about this is what I should buy, right?
I think it's called Spring Wire and Lock Channel. I have catalogs from a couple places in my area and I think their prices are much cheaper, but here's an Amazon example: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01BC4HAPA/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_t1_-N2IAbF3219DN
No joke, 2 joules is quite a bit of energy. You or I would not like contact with this type of fence for any amount of time.

I use this for my kids
Spoiler: My kids are dogs
$50 on amazon.

I have an elec wire, made for dogs. My dogs touch it once and never go back.
I got this one at the local Feed and Grain store.

Here's a solar powered electric fence on amazon. Panels look to be smaller than 1 foot by 1 foot and it can provide protection on up to 10 miles of fencing.
It's not the strongest and is designed to shock farm animals, but I think you get the idea that a small amount of solar panels could power quite a lot of electric fence.

If you did it with deer fencing (fancy kind or inexpensive kind) you could do this same thing and it would be invisible.
I used this Parmak Magnum Solar-Pak 12 Low... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00099FAJI?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share. And yes walked through one side and out the other. I just put up cattle fencing inside the electric fencing to give them pause so they can’t just walk through and maybe they will get a shock to a sensitive area and turn around. Also have a solar powered motion activated light to help startle them.
