Fix-A-Fence LLC Builds 4' High Chain Link Fence Top & Bottom Tension Wire

[fixafencellc]

Tension wire is manually installed for the most part. You will need what is considered to be a T-Bar. A couple of pieces of 1-5/8" pipe welded into a T that has a hole drilled at the end of the T so you will be able to feed the wire through and twist up against and away from to tighten the wire. Another tool is called a "Bullgrip" or a "PorkChop' this is a tool that will actually grip the wire once tension has been placed on the wire. Using a cable jack to stretch with. T-Bar for short runs.

is there a special tool to install the tension wire?

I am happy to be of some value. When a job requires a bias cut I plan on creating ah ah ah video on how to cut a bias in a chain link fence. A bias is for hills or breaking points of the fence layout.

Any suggestions for helpful videos I will do my best to accommodate as the jobs come up.

YOUR VIDEO JUST BUT SOME FOOD ON MY TABLE

I not sure about the videos but let me see if I can help by explaining a bit. Get what is called a brace band and position it near the top of your end or corner post, apply the eye tops to your line posts. Make a loop in the tension wire and coil or wrap the excess closing off the loop. Put the loop up to the brace band and attach with a nut and bolt. Thread wire through eye tops and stretch with a t-bar or cable jack.
