I can understand why a fence would be a problem. Theoretically at least parallel Beverages should have no radiation/coupling. But that then means an absolutely perfectly balanced and terminated pair of lines.
The closest I had a parallel pair was years ago and with Slinkys. After having one up for a few years and knowing its characteristics I put up another about 5 feet away and didnt note any degradation.
