How can I straighten a long length of this wire approx. 8 ft. length to run between posts at the top of a split rail fence? Thanks

If you me4an make it taut, simply put an anchor in each post,i.e., eye hook, U shaped nail, etc. Twist one end of wire, string to the other side, slip thru the hook, bend a good 8 or 10 inches back, wrap a few times, and put a screwdriver between the fold in the wire near the post and twist til tight. Might have to do both ends with the driver.

Fasten one end and stretch it out while holding the other end with a pair of pliers after rolling out the length you need.

The easy way is use a fence stretcher. Its like a com-a long for wire fence.

i have found that a hevier gage wire works best. i don't really know about length

curled wire is probably about a foot, foot and a half, straight wire is probably about 3 feet or so

Should be ok. I've installed 8 ft tall 4x4 fence posts on top of railroad ties (actually bridge timber) using these. But it really depends on what you're building. If this is a fence where you'll have lateral support with 2x4 or other material, then you're ok.

Only about 12" - 14". you will need to splice in another line. For my application which was for my outdoor flagpole I added 6 feet. I hope this helps

I think its just for show the braided wire. Mine seems long enough. Did you undo the wire all the way.

Depends on the length of run. Twelve gage multi strand wire is good for up to 100 feet.

About 8 ft. You can cut it and extend it per the instructions.. Observe Polarity.

I guess you could do this with a coupler, but I would not do this as this could be a breaking point. I would look for a 8' rod and if you can't fine one that Hunter makes, then you might be able to use threaded pipe.

I'm not sure. Might want to contact the manufacturer. If not, you should buy a piece of 1/4 x 1/2 flatstock and if you can be real careful in setup(drill press with fence), you could drill new mounting holes and also drill and tap hole in the edge for fine adjustment to get you out to 5/8.

Suggest bending the wire so it can be tightly wired or taped to the railing. In my case I attached the wire holder by screwing it in to the underside of the (wooden) eave. You may not want to drill into the ledge. Hope this helps.

The wire measures 15ft. I spliced it in to my existing trolling line for a 20ft total length.

There are no adjustments. But its probably 3 to 4 ft long. If u need it to be longer just add a leader line to desired length. Hope that helped

Use a wire cutter. I use a pair of scissors at first but it left the ends frayed. Wire cutter

Glad to help. This kit is great. Comes in very handy when needed. However, I believe #8 gauge is the largest wire it can be used on.

because its metal item, try using a metal/aluminum/steel cutter. Best guess. Did not have to adjust my length.

How long is the piece of string? Unless you're doing hardware mod, 800w should be more than enough
