How to stretch fence wireSTAY-TUFF Stretcher Bars are the tools you’re looking for

A great fence is an invaluable asset for your property: it keeps animals in, predators out, establishes a boundary and can even be aesthetically pleasing.

STAY-TUFF has different fence solutions available for you, each one of them as exceptional as the last. Designed with you in mind, our fencing solutions are an investment you do not want to skip on.

One of the challenges of installing a fence is stretching the wire.

Doing so (and doing it correctly) will determine the lifespan of your fences. A wire fence that is too tight could be susceptible to damage if impacted by a heavy load and a fence that is not tight enough can sag, thus not performing as it should.

Plan & make a layout This one might seem obvious, but it’s the first step! Making sure you measure out your property will determine how much fence wire you’ll need installed. You can start with a sketch, a measuring wheel, or a GPS tracking app on your phone. Install your posts Posts are what give support, structure and stability to your fence. You can use wooden posts or steel posts, depending on your budget or your preference. Whatever your posts look like, remember to check underground before digging holes to set them to avoid damage to any utility lines. STAY-TUFF allows you to increase the distance between posts

Different types of posts have a unique reason to be in your fence project:

  • Brace posts – They’re designed to support the total weight of the fence

  • T posts – Help hold the fence vertically

  • Boss posts– Also give support, specially where in uneven ground, where there are humps or dips

Typically, fence posts are placed just a few feet apart (typically 8-12), but with STAY-TUFF solutions, you can place them even further – up to 20-25 feet!

Optionally, you can use a guide wire, which will help you easily set up the fence line to avoid distorting.
