Im using 2mm high tensile wire for my espalier tiers and the run is 13m long. Im using a ratchet cog strainer at one end to enable tightening. The wire runs through 6 equally spaced L Brackets for support between my fruit trees. What is the best way to terminate this type of wire at the start where its attached to a galvanised L bracket with a hole in it not a post; and then around the shaft of the ratchet. I find it very hard to twist. And I wish I had one of those horizontal spinning feed mechs......I made a hell of a mess when I tried to feed out the first 13m of wire! It only took me an hour to untangle.

How would you go about straining the hot wire up if you're not leaving enough room for fence strainers in-between the insulator and the knot? or do you use something different to stain it up.

[@user-qx1wl2um2k]

how long does it take for that snapped off piece to equal a full roll of wire?

[@lakijose5994]

this might be handy

[@NZTorz]

What gauge wire are you using.

[@shawnsavage9015]

Nice... Why do you only put 3 wraps at the post end and 5 wraps at the insulator end?
