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.

      @AndroidApps-c6b so the thing with the BCS is that you can rotate the steering bar to the other side, then the tires are pointing forward. For pulling operations, which essentially is happening here, the tread being the other way is best.

      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.
