[QUOTE="badaxemoo, post: 312774, member: 3926"] There are probably lots of people that use smooth high-tensile with metal posts, but I would think that would make it a lot easier to have shorts. As far as splicing - three of those crushable crimping sleeves are supposed to make a splice that has the strength of an uncut length of wire. Unless you have some awfully long 4000'+ runs, usually you tie off around a corner or two. I use leftover "shorts" on the rolls for brace posts. A spinning jenny is a must. You don't need the fancy ones with the brakes if you have someone stand by the roll as you pull or you set the wheel so that one corner rubs slightly on the ground - just make sure to slow down a little before coming to a stop while walking or the wire is likely to pop off the roll and wrap around the base of the jenny. I found out a couple of weeks ago that you can still use the jenny if the ground is frozen - just take a big block of wood and drill a hole in it for the spike instead of stepping it into the ground. I never thought I'd be out fencing in December. [/QUOTE]
