What happens here

Begin unrolling the polybraid wire from its reel, attaching it to the top insulators of the step-in posts. Ensure the wire is taut between posts to prevent sagging. Use the custom PVC pipe insulators to connect the polybraid wire to any existing metal gates or permanent fence posts, preventing the electric current from grounding out. If needed, use a tightener on the polybraid to achieve maximum tension, especially at corners or long stretches.

Goal: Install the electric wire and ensure proper tension along the fence line.
