BEST Electric Fence Tensioning Tools Revealed!

Can I use Gripples on a high tensile electric fence?

[@Plastic-innovation]

Hello @RA-zl6iw! This is a Good question. Yes, gripples can be used to terminate high tensile wire using PVC braces or to tighten wire. We would recommend using strainers to tighten wire since most users will overtighten the wire and not allow enough elasticity in the fence to flex. We hope this answers your question.

Good video. What’s considered too tight?

Too tight would be compared to a barb wire fence. High tensile wire only needs to be tightened where the slack is taken out (this is approx. 150 - 200psi). Over tightening has no positive advantages to electric high tensile fence. It could even cause problems if a tree falls on the fence and not enough elasticity remains in the wire to stretch. Hope this helps.

Can I pull 12.5 ga.wire through Johnny balls on existing wood corners? If so how many tension devices would I need?
