What happens here
Secure the lower end of the tension wire to the main fence post. Drive two fence post staples into the main post near the ground, one above the other, ensuring that the tension wire can loop through the space created by the staples. This technique prevents the wire from cutting into the post under tension. The specialized design of fence staples causes their ends to curl outwards once driven into the wood, providing superior holding power.
Goal: Create a secure anchor point for the tension wire at the base of the main post
