Wire

Plain wire can be installed in a variety of ways.

It can be tied and stapled to a timber post, it can be tied and tightened using eyebolts with concrete posts, it can be strained using ferrule winders on angle iron, it can be tied and tightened using barrel strainer or even strained using gripples (gripples and/or ‘T’ gripple).

Barbed wire can be installed in a variety of ways.

It can be tied and stapled to a timber post, it can be tied and tightened using eyebolts with concrete posts, it can be strained using ferrule winders on angle iron, it can be tied and tightened using barrel strainer or even strained using gripples (gripples and/or ‘T’ gripple).

Gripples are installed simply by pushing two ends of wire into either side of the gripple. A gripple tool can then be used to pull the wire tighter together to gain tension on the wire.

The new ‘T’ clip gripple is installed by hanging the two clips over the wire and threading the end if the wire through the gripple itself.

Barrel strainers are used by tying one end of the line wire to the hoop end of the barrel strainer and then clipping the hook to or tying the other piece of line wire to the hook and rotating the ‘barrel’ to tighten the strain on the wires.
