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

Product Information

All fencing installations should have a line wire installed at the top to stop the fencing sagging and keep it taut. We also recommend a line wire be installed at ground level to stop people, or browsing animals from crawling or digging underneath. For meshes above 1.2 metres we would advise an additional galvanised line wire be installed in the middle as well and clipped to the wire mesh or plastic filaments.

If roll of chain link fencing runs out before the end of a run, join the rolls by removing a spiral from the end of the roll to be joined on to. This is easily achieved by releasing the ends of the first spiral and winding the spiral along until it is fully removed. Bring together the end of one roll with the beginning of the other roll and reinsert the removed spiral but this time 'knitting' the two rolls together - when fully inserted, close the ends of the spiral which was removed. Splitting a roll of fencing NB Stone filling only works really well with square posts. If no stone is available use soil tamped down in layers. Post and rail fencing

Wire Mesh & Netting

Demonstrate all new work techniques as you come to them. This will save mistakes and avoid accidents. 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. 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 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: Changes in direction can be made by cutting and sinking in the rails into the post. Post and wire fencing

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. 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. We are offering high quality mild steel 4mm Diameter Straining Wire in various lengths. Key Features of our product: When using a drivall be particularly careful that the post is upright and the people using it wear safety helmets.
