[QUOTE="Texas PaPaw, post: 744537, member: 2905"] The technique I use to electrify the portable fence is to lay it out so the reel end of the portable fence is at the hot hi-tensile fence. I wrap the poly wire 3 times around the hook on the reel and lay the reel over the hot hi-tensile with the reel dangling below (not hooked to) the hi-tensile. it's ok if the reel touches the ground (but not a steel post)even if you hear a popping noise. By doing it this way the weight of the reel acts as a tensioner for the polywire keeping it tight. If the poly wire connection is not at a post supporting the hi-tensile then put 2 stepin posts on the hi-tensile an lay the polywire between them. BTW, I have a plastic non-conductive handle on the other end of the polywire and it is not hot until I lay the reel over the hot fence. This is the easiest and fastest technique I have found for connecting temporary fence to another hot fence while allowing the polywire to be cold while rolling/unrolling it. [/QUOTE]
