How to Stretch Wire Fence - Step by Step. Tools, Tips & Tricks.
The last part of my fencing series. How to tension / stretch a wire fence line and get it tacked off. Step by Step action with what tools to use, along with tips and tricks. I don't even want to know how many miles worth of fencing I've put up, but hopefully I explain it easy enough here to make sense. Thanks for watching and be sure to use safety glasses when handling wire and putting under tension.

      Just a quick follow-up question. I tried this and it leaked from both ends of the tape. Basically I turned the water on right after which may have been a mistake. I'll rewatch the video but is it required to let it sit for 8 hours or overnight? Wondering if I did something wrong. I also wrapped up the two with sandpaper a bit.​@@bootsintheroots

You do have to press and hold pretty good. Start by pressing right over the hole and work out from there. I hope that helps in some way.

    You have them backwards. The cutting edge strikes the ground. Thats common sense. Your basically cutting into the ground, otherwise theres no need to put a sharper edge on the tines period. If you will do a little research, you see that. That set up, especially on a front tine tiller will beat you to death. Plus, your putting more stress on your transmission and engine.

    • @bootsintheroots
      @bootsintheroots 2 месяца назад

      Depending on what you are tilling. Flat side striking first pulverizes soil better. I use the Rotary plow for deep tilling and only use the tiller to pulverize the top couple inches for planting.

      Sorry about ads. Welded wire can't be stretched much at all. You need more posts and once attached you can kink each horizontal strand every few feet with a pliers or other tool. That gives it a bit of a stretch. Good luck.

      Anything is better than nothing. Make sure your brace post footings , the concrete, is deep and strong, and just attach the other end to your vertical post wherever it falls. Use the math to get your correct angle cuts. A lot depends on your soil situation, climate, wire fence tension, so forth. But I get it, lumber prices are terrible. My whole fence system is redwood and No-Climb. Yikes.
