[QUOTE="Farm Fence Solutions, post: 1401800, member: 26621"] I thought I'd share how we strain HT fixed knot net around a turn post. This stretch in particular was a gentle turn, and being creosote posts, the wire would have slid right around on it's own. With this techinque, 90* turns around CCA posts are fairly easy. I figured since it was sunny, and I wasn't in a rush, I'd better take some pictures so I can make a worthwhile contribution to Fence's trove of tips. 1. Drive a staple about 1/3 deep at each line wire. 2. Bend the staples over. 3. Tack a keeper staple over 3 or so line wires. 4. Dab some grease on each bent over staple. 5. Drive a staple UNDER each line wire(again, about 1/3 deep is good) to keep them riding on the greased staples. Keep in mind that you'll need to reset these when each stay wire reaches the post.
