1. Space your fence posts no more than 8 feet apart to ensure stability and even distribution of tension. Dig post holes every 6 to 8 feet along your property line. Once the holes are dug, pour concrete into each one and carefully insert the fence posts. Use a level to check that each post is straight before the concrete sets. This step is crucial for a strong and lasting fence.
2. Cut two two-by-fours to match the height of your wire mesh. These will serve as stretchers, helping to hold the mesh in place and maintain its shape.
3. Drill round-head bolts every 8 inches along the length of the stretchers. Make sure not to fully tighten the bolts yet—this will allow you to adjust the wire mesh as needed later.
4. Wrap the end links of the wire mesh around the bolts on the stretchers. Then, screw the bolts in tightly to secure the mesh. Be sure to wrap enough mesh around the boards so that it's held firmly in place without any slack.
5. Attach one of the stretchers to a fence post using at least 4-inch carpentry screws. Fasten the bottom, top, and center of the stretcher to the outside of the post. When done correctly, pulling the wire mesh should cause it to run perpendicular to both the stretcher and the post, ensuring even tension.
6. Tie a hand-cranked chain pulley to the next fence post. Attach the chain hook to the center of the free-standing wire stretcher. Slowly crank the pulley to pull the stretcher toward the post. Take your time to let the wire stretch gradually, avoiding sudden tension that could cause it to snap.
7. Once the wire is taut, lock the pulley’s crank teeth in place to keep the tension. Secure the other wire stretcher to the post by tightening the bolts. Finally, unlock and remove the hand crank. Your fence is now properly tensioned and ready for use.
