If you split a 16 foot panel in half you will have a section that extends a few inches over each end of your bed. A plant on each end and the middle gives you plenty of room. It's also helpful to mount the wire 10-12 inches off the ground to get more height. My panels are 25 plus yrs. old and 52 inches high. Not sure what size newer panels come in but every inch counts. Hog clips, bailing wire or even zip ties will support the wire on a 7 foot fence post. The panel can go well beyond the top of your posts. If it's wired tight it won't flop. I'm assuming your beds don't have a bottom and support posts can be driven into the ground.
