I don?t think I'd use galvanized steel fence wire unless you want to replace
it after a few years. Aluminum fence wire might work well. Otherwise check
with a scrap metal dealer for odd lots of copper wire.

The suggestion to look for copper salvaged from a motor or a power
transformer is a good one. I happened upon a few thousand feet,
continuous, from a power transformer. Several hams report using steel
electric fence wire very successfully and the price is low.
