Ken,
Several yrs ago I had a 1000 ft Bev suspended (2 ft) above a 4 wire electric 
fence. The fence was used to cut of a pasture and was not energized all the 
time. It was pointed at S. Europe and worked poor to fair. I installed 
another identical wire 15 feet away from the fence and it worked much better 
than the first. The 1st was removed and used in another direction.

I would only use that method if I had no other choice. In your case--- it 
can surely be better than none at all. Good luck.
