Best explanation I have seen, great job.

This simple demonstration is greatly appreciated!

Glad l watched this . Learned something new to put in my fencing "toolbox " .

Maybe better than the way I was taught, but I wrap my termination 4 times staple and never had slacking problem from wire shifting, plus I can re tighten at the post, as the fence slackens, due to weather, deer hits, cow and horse strains and worse of all...elk and moose...with the old way you can use the termination point many times, before cutting and replacing the overworked wire...when possible, I would rather tighten at the post than somewhere in the middle.

Can you show how to end the wire from side “a” to “b” after stretching it

What do you mean by Side a and b?

@@kaycountyosuextension692 I’m assuming they mean after stretching without loosing or slacking the wire after tension is applied

@@dakotadickens3747 You will inevitably lose some tension after tying the knot and taking the "tensioner" off. I usually add one more link of tension before I tie the knot, and just know I'm going to lose some. This has definitely made me snap a wire before so be careful.

@@kaycountyosuextension692 oh for sure. I’m a fencing contractor I fully get that I was just saying that’s what his question is I believe. Good educational video for people at home though. I’ve tired in different ways. We use wood post and a lot of staples here so even the first way tends to still hold decent usually

Fence will get lose over time from fluctuations heat and cold over time. Not how you wrap your wire. If it happened at your wrap your t post would all be leaning away from direction the wire is losing it wrap. It just doesn't happen.

It does happen. There is a huge quality difference between the first method and the second method. The thing I don't agree with on the second method is all those wraps at the end. You have three simple bends of the wire and that is plenty. That is the beauty of the second method.

Maybe next time use the same knot that you tied and not edit it to a different one. Overall I can see how this would be a giant waste of time and make it almost impossible to re-stretch from the post if needed.

Thank you for your comment. I didn't record properly on original clip. No sound came through. I'm pretty much a novice on video shooting and editing. Not a waste of time. Just building a fence that will last a long time. You can certainly re stretch the fence if need be, but you shouldn't have to for a long time using a knot like this. If you think you can provide a better video please post a reply teaching others how to do it better. Always capable of learning more on my end.
