Wire Tensioning Tips

The method for monitoring tension of HT wire netting is to observe the 'Tension curves" in the line wires. Strain should be applied until the tension curves start to straighten out. Barb wire straining is less sophisticated. It is common to do a "pre-load" strain (to remove initial stretch), then repeat strain to suit contour. Note that extra care is required when straining barb wire - a breakage can be dangerous. For all wire products, it is recommended and useful to attach a Permanent Wire Strainer (e.g. Strainrite Std Cliplock) so that wire strain can be adjusted in the future, both as the fence 'relaxes' over time or to recover stretch from impact.
