[QUOTE="wbvs58, post: 1627729, member: 16453"] I have no problem with tight barb wire. All new fences I'm putting in now are all 900mm (3') of woven wire and two strands of barb above it and with good drill pipe end assemblies like Fence has taught me they are tight and very good. The cows just don't put their heads between the barb and the netting to reach for grass. Posts are 5m (16') apart. The netting is good to deter the roos and young calves don't go through it. It is just so good having those good end assemblies as you strain them up with confidence without any movement between doing a bottom wire and top wire. I did invest in a wire tensionometer. I find it good especially on long runs where you can always get a bit more stretch out of the wire and I know when I'm done now. Ken [/QUOTE]
