Stagger the holes side to side so the board doesn't split. If you build one for further use its a good idea to drill the bolt holes in one piece so they fit tight and stay in that piece. With battery powered impacts this will work good. With the 2bys hard wood works well but you will need several bolts the length of the board. How do you know when you have stretched it enough?I need to fix up a lot for my son keep some sheep. Posted 19:58 (#187946 - in reply to #187822) Subject: RE: Good way to stretch woven wire fence? If you pull with a tractor, you don't tension the anchor post and it will move when you let the tractor off and your fence is loose. Then I have a loop welded on the top and bottom that I put a come a long to the ancher post at top and bottom. I have about 5 1/2 inch bolts holding the 2 pieces together (drill 5/8 holes as the flat bar bends alittle around the wire and it damages the threads on the bolts.
I had to put a few beads of weld on the angle to keep the wire from slipping. It is a piece of 2x2x3/8 angle with a piece of 1/2 by 2 flat bar that bolts on with the wire in between. Posted 19:31 (#187933 - in reply to #187822) Subject: Re: Good way to stretch woven wire fence?
Boards and bolts work well but kind of slow. They work slick, I use to use the boards and bolts. I have used the stretcher bars and chain puller in that you will find at the bottom of this link.

That is how they told me, get something that runs the length of the fence and tie top and bottom and pull.

Worked real good as i remember but it's been a long time. they had a bracket top and bottom about 1/4 way in from the ends. The old fence stretchers i remember using used 2 2圆 boards that were bolted together with the fence in between.

#Wire fence stretching how to#
I've got both a bobcat and a large comealong that I use, but I'm not sure how to get a hold of the fence and pull on it evenly. I'm going to bid a job that requires woven field type fence, but I've never put any up before. Anyway, I do some custom fencing on the side. I figured this would get more views on this section.
