What happens here

To repair the broken polywire, first insert a 'pigtail' step-in fence post (Streamlight brand) into the ground near the break to create tension and support the repaired section. Then, gather the two broken ends of the polywire and tie them together with a secure knot. Ensure the knot is tight to maintain good electrical conductivity once the fence is energized.

Goal: Reconnect the interrupted electric fence line.
