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

Product Information

In warmer climates, many rolled wire mesh fences do not have top rails like they do in North America, and since it never freezes, it’s perfectly okay to have holes drilled in posts. Here’s how the various types of wire used for this type of fence are an important part of the structure. Straining wire 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. To finish off, saw off any minor damage to the posts, nail up splits and ensure cut wire ends are sunk into the posts. Rabbit netting, chain link and palings

Work out the exact line of the fence and the positions of the straining posts. These are usually determined by the lie of the land (a post at every change of direction or major change of gradient), but straining posts can be up to 110m apart, although 50m is preferable.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. If you’re building a warm-weather diamond mesh or rolled welded mesh fence, chances are you’re going to need a few different types of wire to construct the fence structure. When replacing or repairing a fence, try to leave old fence posts in place as they provide great habitat for lichens.

Demonstrate 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 WireEnsure all team members are wearing appropriate footwear and clothing and issue specified safety equipment. Introduction When the posts are firmly set, unroll the coil of straining wire and feed it along/through the posts. The number of line wires required depends on the height of the fence, as a guide: Diamond mesh and rolled welded wire mesh fences in warmer climates don’t have top rails, but they still need something to support the wire mesh. When using a drivall be particularly careful that the post is upright and the people using it wear safety helmets. Straining and stapling

We are offering high quality mild steel 4mm Diameter Straining Wire in various lengths. Key Features of our product: Because so much of a warm weather mesh fence that is constructed with straining wires instead of top rails is dependent on wire, it’s very important that it’s used and finished properly. 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. 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.Changes in direction can be made by cutting and sinking in the rails into the post. Post and wire fencing 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. Staples should be put in diagonally and only driven home on straining posts. On other posts the wire should be free to move. 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.
