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.
