  • Putting up sheep fencing isn’t difficult, especially with two people, but if you want to get the wire tight then this is a really good method. Yes, you could buy an expensive wire strainer - but they usually pull only one strand at a time so the fence gets distorted. You could tie one end of the wire to a tractor - but the tractor will be in the way by the hedge. So use this method and it’s easy.
    (Ok, so not everyone has a ratchet strap - but they’re still much cheaper to buy than a wire puller.)

    I just want to say thank you for this video. I live in france with a french partner and I wanted to explain how I've done fencing your way in the past. It's helped him understand how its done with no need to buy expensive equipment. I couldn't find a single video in french using this method so I'm very happy to use yours as it's self explanatory 😁😁

    This is probably the best video about strainning a fence I found in RUclips. Thank you :-)

    Brilliant idea with the wood just saved £200 on a tool I don't need. excellent video straight to the point with all the important bits covered. I've used the defender as my solid anchor point. Your tup is like one of my horses has to play with everything xxx

    Great video. I made one of these and used it today for a new fence. Saved so much messing about. Every line tight in one go and as someone else already noted, you can pull off the tow bar if there is no convenient tree!!

    I’ve tried this and it works fairly well, my ratchet strap is a bit small and flimsy so I couldn’t really get the tension I wanted it. BUT don’t worry if your fence is not quite as tight as you hoped - just twist a few strands of the horizontal wire 90 degrees and you’ll feel it tighten up nicely. I did this and my fence went from competently wobbly to having a decent spring in it now

    Cheers for this, I was trying to think of how to get the tension without a proper strainer, and didn't even think of the ratchet strap.

    Excellent method which we used this weekend very successfully. Its the perfect DIY video that actually works! Thank you for sharing.

    I made a strainer out of a couple of pieces of 4X2,and, eight 3/8 bolts about 30 years ago,and,am still using it. Connected a hefty short chain with a hook on the end,looped the chain and hook around the pull bar on a little Fergie tractor,and,the fence pulled up absolutely square. The boards were clamped with the 3/8 bolts onto the ringlock over one of the vertical wires,so kept it straight on then strain. The strainer boards still work even tho the tractor karked! 30 years ago we had to improvise, as a lot of the new fancy straining gear was just not available, as it is today.
