[QUOTE="Bez+, post: 669326, member: 6797"] Yup - you screwed up. I have no idea what a 10 acre 120 volt box is - suspect it is some type of fencer that plugs in to regular electrical service or you have described it wrong. There are dozens of different types of methods to stretch fencing wire and electrical fence wire - and yours is about the bottom off the list for many reasons. Need to keep that wire straight and clear of obstacles - and insulators can be an obstacle. Someone - something - sooner or later will pile through that fence and you will not enjoy the splicing and restretching. Tough to pull wire from the middle although it can be done - you probably will not know how to do it. You need to do a straight pull from one corner post to another with the wire floating straight through the insulators - we have some pulls of about 1 - 1 1/4 miles runs - one end is anchored to the corner post with a "football insulator" - and the other end is where we pull with a ratchet strainer. You get out and look around - or better - go talk to a few businesses that not only sell the equipment, but have someone on staff that has a partial clue about fencing. Your system - sooner or later will give you serious grief. Electrical fences do not need to be as tight as smooth wire or barbed wire fences. Slack wire - not too slack - and good insulators are your friend Regards Bez+ [/QUOTE]
