[QUOTE="Farm Fence Solutions, post: 1401808, member: 26621"] What makes High Tensile net efficient and effective, is the tension. With your technique, it wouldn't ever come close to proper tension. I'll get a video posted so that it'll make more sense, but we will strain over a quarter mile on a regular basis and it will stand up on it's own. I'm talking tight. Tight enough for a full grown man to climb it between posts and it won't touch the ground. The tension that is achieved with HT net surprises most folks. Also, hard stapling is a bit of a no no for us. It's hard on the galvanized coating, kinks wire, and doesn't have enough holding power for HT anyhow. Any wire fence should be free to move under the staple, or it will essentially be ineffective in absorbing impacts. The cost effective part of HT net with a solid vertical stay is the ability to space line posts out. 25' works well in most applications. We are playing with 50' spacing on a test farm, but it's way to soon to recommend it. Hopefully that description is helpful. [/QUOTE]
