TWIST TOOL EASY TIGHTEN WIRE FENCE

I was shopping in box store last week and talked with homeowner who just finished installing several hundred feet of woven wire fence around the backyard. He put in corner braces, pulled it tight and fastened it down tight, but the top still has waves in it.

HOW TWIST TOOL WORKS

Simple fix for loose wire fencing.  By simply using leverage you can twist the wire and tighten the line.  Insert the TWIST TOOL along the top of the loose wire fencing and give it a half turn twist.  Repeat every 18″ or 24″ to tighten up the loose section.  You can quickly walk an entire line of fencing tightening up the whole fence line.

WELDING A TWIST TOOL

Simply weld two pieces (8″ long) of heavy wall slender pipe together.  Grind a 3/4″ groove into the long end.

TWIST TOOL WITHOUT A WELDER

Don’t have a welder handy? Just make your TWIST TOOL out of pipe thread.  Screw a long piece to the front (8″), then thread shorter 4″ pipe to both sides. Grind a groove in the end of the long pipe.

Pipe thread, pipe Tee, hacksaw or grinder
