Fencing Like A Pro...Knot tying..Pulling wire tight and more!

What happens here

Due to the fence being tightly stretched and lying on the ground, a temporary lift is needed before permanent tensioning. To achieve this, locate points along the fence line where the wire is lowest. Use a sturdy metal bar or 'boot' to pry the fence up from the ground. Place a large rock or a sturdy piece of wood underneath the lifted section of the fence to temporarily hold it in an elevated position. This creates enough slack or height to allow for the attachment of more powerful tensioning tools.

Goal: Create temporary elevation and slack in the tightly stretched fence.
