02 Gather the right tools
Having the right tools makes fence building easier and faster. We recommend using two stretcher bars and pulling the wire to the center. Splicing is much easier using a multi-crimp tool and sleeves.
03 Lay out the fence line and set posts
Clear the fence line. Set the end posts. Pull a guide wire between the end posts. Set the 2nd end brace post. Set the line posts.
04 Build the Braces
Set the brace pins into the post. Put the brace wire around the brace. Attach an in-line strainer to the brace wire. Tighten the brace wire.
05 Tie the Wire to the end brace
See our pre-stripped fence roll. We show you the recommended Hi-Tensile knot you should use on our website.
06 Tension the fence
Tension the fence wire by pulling it to the center of the fence using stretcher bars and stretcher bar pullers.
07 Splice the fence
Splice the fence using a crimping tool and crimp sleeves.
08 Trim out the fence
Staple the fence wire to the fence posts. Attach post clips.
09 Finish
Your new Stay-Tuff Fixed Knot fence is ready for action.
