A question for wire fencing experts

I need to fence a 70m boundary, mainly to stop a dog from straying but
also as a security deterrent. The land is reasonably flat for about 80%
of the distance and then slopes down at about 20 degrees. The fence will
run through trees so won't be visible. I haven't erected a fence before
so I'd appreciate some guidance.
My plan is to use 6ft galvanized stakes, with 2ft in postcrete and 4ft
above ground, and with suitable braces at the ends and changes of
direction or slope. The fencing will be 4ft (1220) galvanized welded
mesh, supported by 3 or 4 lengths of HT wire woven through the mesh and
tensioned between the stakes.
Is this sensible? Is there a better (i.e. easier, cheaper, or more
effective) way of doing it?
get a pet fence thing that runs a wire round the place and striggers
shock collars on the dog when they get near..
Useless fact No. 42,316: they're illegal in Wales.
