We had an electric fence for cows. It was a small portable generator and a length of tape. Didn't give anyone a serious shock but stopped the cows from getting in the trenches. Can't remember how much it cost but it wasn't that expensive and if the generator could be rigged up to "normal" fencing it might prove a deterrent especially if you had huge signs up saying "danger electric fence" or something.

Lucy that isn't enough, you can't assume that our colleagues or the general public or even cows are intelligent enough to read the signs, you have to fence off the site, the trenches and any spoil heaps seperately, if you don't then you're in breach of health and safety regulations and your site could be shut down as a result. Lack of experience or knowledge of H+S regs is no defence under the law, F**K with H+S and you'll be be F****D in return!!!!!
