temporary fencing

[MistyMorning]

I really don't feel like working too hard today cause I caught the seasons first cold. I'm looking at my temporary fencing and realize it has to come up sometime. Besides the obvious winding it up around the original spool, does anyone have any ideas on how to make this easier? :help:

Thanks for any help!

I designed one similar to one of those hose roll up carts that you find in the garden department, I just leave it on the cart till I am need to use it again.

If you're talking about polywire they sell some spools that are geared so it takes less winding.

I mount a pipe on either the loader or 3 point on one of the tractors and slide the spool over the pipe. Then I use a bolt through one of the outside holes on the spool as a handle and wind it up. I'm sure there are nicer setups but probably none cheaper.

I use the geared reels to roll up polywire. Really quick & easy. Use 1/2 in FG rods for end post & plastic stepins for line post. Can put out or take up lots of fence in just a few minutes.

Here's a link for these products:

Hope this helps.

Thanks you guys. I think I might be able to patch something together here that will work.

MM, I bought a couple spools made just for rolling up poly wire.
At Mills Fleet Farm. They work real nice and cheap. About 10 years ago ?$15. Have no idea if they still sell them?

Plywood ends with some crossed pieces of timber between like the barbed wire spools . Then bend some stiff fencing wire to form a handle and glue it in the center.

This is your reel now all you need is a support handle and its already insulated so you can do it with the power on.

tytower, one thing I NEVER do is mess around with the fencing when the power is on! I've landed on my butt more times than I can count Thanks for the tips guys. I took an old tire rim for the spool and rigged it up like ChrisB does. Works pretty good.
