Have you seen the bent pipe job that Strainrite has to run the chain through? Looks handy for making room to tie a join under tension.
Buy one of these and the golden rod makes nice wall decorations. Has a slight learning curve but well worth the moneyFarm Fence Solutions":1kcaua2r said:fence_it":1kcaua2r said:

That is a question that I can't answer off the top of my head, but we tension to about 450 pounds per line wire, so a 20 line deer net split between two boundary strainers would be at least 4,500 pounds. They still have plenty left in the tank at that point.

It was a common requirement for barbwire to be pulled to 800 pounds.
This was before high tensile.
I never had it tested but if 800 pounds means enough pull to move 800 pounds of weight. I wouldn't consider that very tight..... maybe I'm wrong

Andy. Tension is not measured as the force required to move say 800 pounds. Because it depends on the surface the 800 pounds is setting on. If it is a high friction surface, the pounds-force required to move 800 pounds one foot distance is greater than the tension required to move 800 pounds one foot on a low friction surface. There are gauges used to measure tension in pounds-force. If the requirement is 800 pounds-force, that does not exactly equate to what it takes to move 800 pounds one foot distance.
When Luke was demonstrating his fence tools, I thought he had a tension guage???
