That's a good idea. Something in the electric fence area may be just
what you need.
I was also thinking of something homebrew. Maybe screw eye into the
wood, then attach an insulator with short piece of dacron rope. Or
use pliers to open up the screw eye enough to slip it through one of
the holes of a regular insulator.
Good luck, Steve KW3A
