Install High-Tensile Electric Line

Fencing Like A Pro...Knot tying..Pulling wire tight and more!
What happens here
After the main fence is installed, a high-tensile electric line is added for enhanced livestock control and cross-fencing. The wire is unwound from a specialized roller, which is pulled along the fence line. Bullnose insulators are pre-installed on the posts to support and isolate the electric wire from the metal posts. The high-tensile wire is simply laid into the insulators, one by one, along the entire length of the fence. This allows for quick installation of the electric line, which will deter livestock (like horses or cows) from leaning on or crossing the fence, and also provides a termination point for future cross-fencing sections.
Goal: Run and secure the high-tensile electric wire along the top of the fence posts.
