Fencing Like A Pro...Knot tying..Pulling wire tight and more!
What happens here
The termination knot is used to secure the end of a fence wire to a post or other anchor point. First, wrap the wire around the post. Then, create a 'lazy loop' by bending the wire into a long wrap. Next, create two 'tight wraps' around the main wire, pulling them snugly. After these wraps, insert a 'crank handle' (a small metal rod) into the end of the wire and twist it. This action rings the wire back towards the coils, causing the excess wire to snap off cleanly, leaving a smooth finish without sharp edges that could cause injury or snag. This knot provides a strong, secure end-point for the fence line.
Goal: Create a strong and clean end-point for the fence wire.
