[QUOTE="Aaron, post: 454541, member: 1682"] We use two crowbars, with about 2 foot long round shafts, twisting in opposite directions of each other at two points, each 1/2 way between post and mid-point of entire length of wire. We get the wires as tight as possible by really pulling on them and taking up the slack. Twist each bar alternately for about 15-20 turns and take the bars out. The wire is twisted in the opposite direction from the mid-point out, which keeps the wire from getting slack, a problem with people who use and leave wood stakes in their corners, which eventually rot. Only thing I could see that might otherwise work, longterm, is 1-inch rebar left in place. 1/2 inch won't be strong enough to get the wire tight enough. [/QUOTE]
