Electric Netting for Woodchucks

We need 200 feet of electric netting for our vegetable garden. Enemy number one is woodchucks. I am concerned that they will dig under the netting after learning not to climb it.

I was thinking of installing galvanized wire fencing along the ground to discourage digging under the netting. The wire fence would be held in place using 6-inch long landscape staples and covered with a thin layer of mulch for visual appeal. The netting would be run above the wire fence. The bottom of the netting would be secured to the fence using the landscape staples. This is to prevent the woodchucks from slipping under the netting.

I was thinking of bonding the negative terminal of the energizer to the wire fence. Our soil is rocky and rainfall is a crap shoot.

Do you have any concerns with this idea? Another option is to use a pos/neg netting secured to the wire fence in the same manner.

What energizer would you recommend with this arrangement?

Much appreciated.
