Tornado High Tensile Plain Wire 3.1mm x 410m 25kg Galvanised

Galvanised Straining Line Wire is manufactured from steel, and is galvanised with a zinc coating to help it withstand the elements, resist rust and corrosion, and remain strong. The wire is used to ensure that the top of fence netting/mesh is tensioned and taut, providing strength to help prevent damage by animals or vandals. This wire is also available with a PVC coating so you can use it with PVC-coated fencing.

This straining line wire can be used with:

• Chain link fencing
• Rabbit fencing
• Hexagonal wire fencing
• Stock fencing
• Welded wire mesh fencing
• Plastic garden mesh fencing

A straining post is required at every major change in direction or any termination and should be supported by a strut or box assembly. Barbed wire should be tied off on the straining posts by hand or with suitable joiners. Avoid driving staples tight against the wire as this will damage the galvanised coating.

When installing barbed or plain wire above stock netting we would recommend using two strands a maximum of 125mm apart

When installing a multi-line barbed or plain wire fence it is common to run a line of wire along the ground to enable the posts to be positioned in a straight line. This line can then be lifted off the ground and used as the bottom strand

When installing a fence it is common to run a line of plain or barbed wire along the ground to enable the posts to be positioned in a straight line. This line can be left in after the fence has been installed as it will help fill in gaps between the netting and undulations in the ground level, it will also help prevent animals pushing under the net.
