We have sucessfully used 1.2 metre high electric poultry netting for several years. We have 100 metres and run it from a mains box, although initially it was on a battery. The only problem is that it's not really very pretty but never lost a bird to the dreaded fox! The hens soon learn to keep off the fence but I sometimes touch it by accident and it's not nice!
