Fencing

   / Fencing #11  
Whenever I have to install woven wire fence I always reinforce the starting post with something heavy. Typically a vehicle or tractor with a chain or tow strap. Unroll the length or til the next corner and then stretch it. Even a well anchored corner post can uproot and a little insurance is better then having to reset it.

I don't have a fence stretcher so I just sandwich the wire between (2) 2x4s and pull on in using the winch from my ATV or the hydro tractor since it's easier to finesse'.

You are not going to be able to overtighten a 8' woven fence, pull it as tight as you can. Also for pulling if you use boards for a stretcher cut vertical wire at the end so you can wrap the horizontal wires around the puller and twist around itself. With a fence that tall I would do what super55 is recommending above.

Also it seems like you should have at least double 8' h braces at each corner/end for this tall and heavy of a fence.
