No comment on the barbwire cuz I’ve never tried it but I like the idea 👍 What I was gonna suggest is if you run a hot wire parallel with a regular fence is use your fence as a ground??? You have multiple grounds with your t posts ! I have done this and it works great and it’s cost effective. Just saying
The commercial insulators are cheaper than PVC pipe. Barbed wire isn’t good because of the two wires it’s the same as running double length single wire as far as the energy required.
It was old used pipe. And I already had the barbed wire. The fence charger is capable of much more wire. So in this case this was the cheapest way to go.

I have never thought of that. But sounds like a good idea

Free can be pretty cheap
crazy how barbed wire is still legal, never mind when hot, cruel practice

Thanks for subbing
What are you insulating a wood post for .
Because when wet they will short out
Wood when wet becomes a conductor
Price?
About 250 bucks from tractor supply
How long has you been using it?
Just this growing season. So far so good!
Tell me you're not electrifying barbed wire - it's dangerous and illegal in some places - and legally you're liable - BAD idea.
It’s not illegal here and it is not near people
