[QUOTE="dcara, post: 246648, member: 473"] I run about a mile of 2 3/8 pipe and 3/8ths cable also (4 wires plus top rail) but fastened the ends with just turnbuckles, no springs. Also run a hot wire below top cable. Only problem I've had in three years is about once a year the bottom cable turnbuckle will get bent out of shape or broke somehow. I could probably use bigger hardware but it only takes about 5 minutes to put a new one on and retension it. I had thought about using springs back before I built it until a guy told me that he had a horse that somehow got his hoof twisted up in a couple of the cables while he was at work. Horse ended up losing the hoof and so he ended up losing the horse over it. [/QUOTE]
