Pat, 8 to 10 feet above the barbed wire fence would be your only chance if you are to use the existing fence lines. I would strongly suggest reading some (all) of the references you have been offered

Grant, Thanks for the modelling and the insulator idea. I'd suspect one might be able to tweak the lengths between insulators to find a "non-resonant" length on both 160/80 to minimize the impact of

Do a sanity check by modeling in EZNEC, 4NEC, etc. over flat earth. HFTA uses point (isotropic) sources and ignores coupling. HFTA will show more ground reflection than is actually present with real

There is no trade-off in gain. Gain is almost entirely a function of boom length as long as you don't have to few elements. For example, SteppIR antennas all show more gain on 10/12 meters than the

There are several antenna designers who have shown that the impedance a simple driven element is in the mid-20 Ohm range when the antenna is tuned for maximum gain (assuming the boom is not too long

Assuming your tower is vertical, your Yagi is horizontally polarized and the diameter of the tower is much less than 1/4 wave, the tower will have negligible effect on the Yagi's tuning and pattern.
