Straining & Tensioning with Fieldtools & Strainrite

Effective straining and tensioning of wire in fence installations are critical for ensuring durability, stability, and functionality, whether for high-tensile, barbed wire, or electric fences. Proper tension prevents sagging, maintains structural integrity, and, in electric fences, ensures consistent conductivity.

Regular maintenance checks are essential to re-tension wires affected by temperature changes or livestock pressure, ensuring a long-lasting, effective fence.

Common straining tools include ratchet strainers, which can be used during installation and also post istallation to ensure a permanent tension. Another indispensable tool is a wire grip and strainer where quality is the best way to ensure opeartor safety while tensioning. For multi strand fencing a straing clamp or board is the most practical and quickest way to tension multiple strands of wire simultaneously.
