[QUOTE="Farm Fence Solutions, post: 1458912, member: 26621"] Glad to hear the pre-fabed braces worked out well for you. Post a pic or two if you get a chance. Like M.Magis stated, Gripples are perfect and easy. Ratchets would come in second place and more expensive, IMHO. On wood posts, fence wire should never be hard stapled. It's hard on the galvanized coating, as well as the wire. If you don't want to use a permanent inline mechanical tension device, you can simply pull to the end with a goldenrod or your comealong, and tie off under tension. With the exception of an end strain on some net wire last week for a demonstration, I haven't tied off any fence under tension since I started using Gripples. I nearly lost religion over that end strain last week. Give me a shout if you need some Gripples, and I'll be glad to fix you up. [/QUOTE]
