Cool Pen Fence question

I am building my pen now, for spring feeder pigs, and wanted to know what the experts had to say. I will have a 4' high field fence around the pen, but can tell now it will not keep the little piggies in, so I want to run a strand of electric inside it. What I am looking for is suggestions on what would be best to use, regular electric fence, electric rope or electric tape?

Thanks in advance, Jay.

I use the high visibility polywire. It's not thick or bulky and is very easy to string and re-use. Whatever type you decide on, it's less expensive in the long run to buy higher quality than just whatever's cheapest at the time.

PS. Make sure your fencing materials are compatible with your charger.
