Would need a way for them to hit both at once to work.Would think be easier to get them at ground level

While I have never tried it I would think it wouldn't work well (read- wouldn't work at all) as wood is a terrible conductor. They need to touch a ground and the hot wire. If they really want it I would try two wires a few inches apart; one connected to the electric fencer and the other to a good ground. The coons would get zapped if they touched both wires. This

I would do wire on screw in stand offs rather than the poly tape and have a ground and hot so they are basically on the ground with a pad when they grab the hot ,
you can also do a low hot about 4 inches up so that it discourages digging
I have a 4 foot chain link with standoffs on the top rail and a hot wire , it really discourages dogs from climbing after they get hit the first time
I don't feel electrocution like others been electrocuted a "few" times most fences especially poly twine or ribbon I just pick up the line and move it with my gloved hand and feel a "tickle" at the farm
if my leather boots are wet I feel a hit form the wire at he farm
on my fence with the entire fence ground and the tip hot wire WOW when your holding the ground and your arm hits the hot , you feel it for a while that will get your attention
even my own fence which was hot 15 mile charger on 500 feet or wire, if I had dry shoes on I could grab the hot wire I could feel it pulse in my arm but not anything serious.
but if you can get anything to get a ground and hot wire cross body like left paw right paw it will let go
America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.

years ago i had the "Bull Buster" from TSC. it's solar powered and it cut the grass that touched the lower wire. I bumped into it once. shocking experience!

Unless it is really wet that one strand wont ground out when it gets touched. Use 2 one hot and the other one grounded (neg) Nd make it wire if u want to get then good even if you got back with tape later

If it's on top of of the fence...run two wires, one a ground, the other the "hot" wire. As long as they hit both wires at the same time...ZAP! Good luck!

It needs to be just above the ground on the outside of the fence to work properly X2
