Galvanised Tensioning Straining Line Wire | 3.15mm x 160m | 12 gauge

Product Information

Either feed the wire through holes in the posts or along the fence side. If feeding along the side, loosely tie the wire at the correct height, or with timber, attach the wire with staples - do not fully trap the wire at this point. The most efficient way to work is to form a production line, each team doing a specific job. Pairs can be swapped around at tea or lunch breaks. Bare in mind that if you are using the wire for an art project or precision appliance that all of the different wires have a tolerance of ±0.2mm in their diameter Tip: To view the product code and full product table on mobile please tilt your device to landscape.

Ensure all team members are wearing appropriate footwear and clothing and issue specified safety equipment. Introduction At each change of direction of the fence, sever the roll by untwisting the spiral next to the stretching bar, do this before you insert the stretcher bar. Finally, if you are burying the bottom of the fence, go along the previously dug trench and arrange the fencing, you may decide to peg-down the bottom edge or weigh it down with rubble before replacing the soil. Lay out materials, describe any potential problems and indicate the positions of the straining posts (decide upon these now if you have not already done so). Demonstrate tool useDemonstrate all new work techniques as you come to them. This will save mistakes and avoid accidents. This wire is usually 2.5mm diameter and is used to “bind” the straining wires to the line posts or standards as they are also known. This is done by passing the binding wires through holes in the intermediate posts before twisting the ends together. Tie Wire Galvanised Straining Line Wire is manufactured from steel which has been galvanised with a zinc coating to help it withstand the elements, resist rust and corrosion, and remain strong. The wire is used to ensure that the top of fence netting or mesh is tensioned and taut, providing strength and helping to prevent damage to the fence by animals or vandals. This wire is also available with a PVC coating for use with PVC-coated fencing.

Fittings supplied are designed to work together and are manufactured from high quality long lasting stainless steel making it perfect for your garden or any outdoor application. Locate the straining and turning post holes accounting for changes in slope and direction of the fence line. Digging a post hole Concrete and Timber Posts - ensure that the straining wires are evenly spaced between top and bottom edge of the fencing (about 100cm down from the top of the fencing up 100cm up from the bottom). Loosely fit the end eyebolts and stretcher bar cleats with nuts (with large washers on both sides of the post), use two cleats and eyebolts with ring-nuts on intermediate straining posts. Use a stretcher bar to ensure equal tension in all lines, or use two wire strainers in tandem: strain up and fix the top and bottom wires, then work inwards. Straining wires are pulled tight using a tool that is sometimes called a “ monkey strainer” that uses chains and a ratchet mechanism to pull wires taut so they can carry the wire mesh. binding wire

Where the wire is along the side of the posts, either hammer the staples fully home on timber posts, or on cement posts, go along and using short pieces of straining wire, secure the wire at each post as shown right.
