What happens here
A high-tensile termination knot is tied to secure the Tornado Wire to a galvanized steel end post. The fence wire has been 'overstretched' by approximately one inch using a fence stretcher. This overstretching allows the slack to be absorbed into the wire once the tensioning equipment is removed, ensuring a tight and stable fence line. The process involves carefully twisting the wire around itself and the post.
Goal: Securely attach and tension the high-tensile fence wire to the metal end post.
