Woven wire field fence construction

As Joel says, the best way to tighten woven wire is with a hand operated come along. You can chain it to a split cedar post preferably one that is set in tandem with another about 6 feet apart fastened together with another cedar horizontal cross piece at the top and a double wired cross piece that goes from the top of the post closest to the wire hooked diagonally down to the bottom of the second post. After you have looped smooth wire in a long circle you can then put a stout stick in the middle and twist it several times to really tighten it and bring the 2 posts together nicely.

The best way to attach the come along is to sandwich the wire between two 2X4's that are bolted together 3-4 places. Then place a small chain around the 2X4's in the middle and hook the comealong to it and back to the post. Once tightened, just staple the wire to both posts and loosen the comealong.

Hope that makes sense.

Brian

Woven wire field fence construction

Joel,

Good job in finding the example you posted. That is exactly what I was trying to explain verbally. In my earlier post, I even tried to put together some X's and O's to show the picture but that didn't work.

I grew up on a cattle ranch and we built miles and miles of 4 strand barb-wire fences with the exact corner post set up as pictured in your link. If anyone is interested in stringing 4 strands spanning over a hill or over a valley, I can bore you with how that is done too!

Brian
