[QUOTE="HOSS, post: 357185, member: 1863"] Tie / twist wire to end post and anchor with 4 or 5 staples. Stretch the wire down to the other end post. Get a wire stretcher from Co-Op (I think it is called a Mule). Attach a come-along to something stable (tree, truck, other fence post etc.) on the other side of the end post and then stretch your wire past the end post to desired tension. Fasten with staples and release the come-along pressure. Wrap the tail of the wire around the post and twist together with the tensioned wire. Add more staples and "wallah" you are ready to attach the barb wire to your T-Posts or line posts in between. I know that is sketchy but that is the best I can do without showing you. BE CAREFULL TO NOT OVER TIGHTEN AND BREAK THE WIRE. It can get ugly if it snaps while you are touching it or real near it. [/QUOTE]
