[QUOTE="greybeard, post: 1774232, member: 18945"] Back story. My youngest older sister, back in East Texas had a 15 year old 155' long net wire fence moved recently because it was not built originally on the property line. It was 60' off the line, basically 'lending' that much footage to a neighbor that is getting ready to sell his property. The neighbor was b-i-l to sister's now deceased husband and he ok'd the original fence placement for reasons unknown. The infamous 'brother-in-law deal. Anyway, Sis hired a local fence company in San Jacinto County to move the fence... I went back to visit this week for thanksgiving and looked at sister's new fence. I am perplexed at what they did and why they did it that way. Told sister "well, I guess it's ok, but sure wasn't how I would have done it'.. 1. The terminal ends, they didn't wrap all the way around the end posts and tie them back. Just stapled it 1/2 way around. :oops: [ATTACH type="full" alt="KIMG0226[891].jpg"]23212[/ATTACH] The diagonal wire between the end post and the brace post, they twisted, but removed whatever they used to twist it with. I always leave that length of bar in there and tie it off to the horizontal brace so the wire doesn't untwist and get loose later. [ATTACH type="full" alt="KIMG0224[890].jpg"]23213[/ATTACH] But the oddest thing I can't figure out.. is at every line post, they did this.. the little bends.. [ATTACH type="full" alt="KIMG0222[889].jpg"]23214[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" alt="KIMG0223[892].jpg"]23215[/ATTACH] What the heck is that all about? And, in addition to just stapling the ends of the net wire to the end posts, they FIRMLY drove in staples on the vertical brace post. I always leave those staples a little loose so the wire's tension doesn't pull that brace away from the horizontal post or the end post. (I didn't take a picture of that) Hopefully she didn't pay too much for this.. [/QUOTE]
