This was about my 20th fence and practice does make perfect.

Never built a wooden fence, but sure helped my dad build some hog fences
when I was a kid.

Still remember digging all those post holes in hard clay, driving those
staples into those locust posts.

Stretching the wire tight with a manila rope fence stretcher with maybe a
4:1 purchase, one strand at a time.

I was all of maybe 8-9 at the time, but as you can see, have vivid
memories of that project.


Yep hog fence is tough, you have so many woven strands. When I had to do
it, I bolted a couple of 1x4's together to try to pull everything straight
at once.

Fun times
