[QUOTE="Farm Fence Solutions, post: 1533684, member: 26621"] It depends on the situation. I like a gut strain(tie the ends and pull to the middle) most of the time. An end strain works fine too. With an end strain, I like my net board on the fence side of the strain post, and pull to that post. Then, if you over-tension just an inch or so, you can just tie off and let the slack absorb into the run of fence. If you set your stretcher bar past the end post, you have to use something to hold each line wire as you cut and strip it to tie off. With wood posts, this is the common place to hard staple, which won't even come close to holding HT net wire that's tight. Hopefully that all makes a little sense. I've only finished my first pot of coffee this morning. [/QUOTE]
