Probably a dumb question - i`ve got some on order following some little
barstewards stealing some (quite large) items from our garden - the
intention is to use galvanised wire to try to tie the panels together to
prevent them being lifted as easily - "binding" them by running the wire
across many panels and tacking in place, so one can`t be lifted because
its "tied" to both adjacent panels.

I`ve got a stack of wire staples, i`m awaiting the wire from screwfix,
but i`m not sure how you`re supposed to get the wire taught :-}

CUT

To get wire taught. Roll out the length of required, fix one end to
something solid, rap the other end round a piece of timber so it wont pull
off, walk back until wire is tight then pull hard, don't snatch . You
should feel the wire give. this should straighten the wire. When pressure is
released keep straight. Just keep tight as you staple on.
