Ways to dispense high tensile wire

Hi,

I'm building a high tensile smooth wire fence, and have some long
straight stretches to fence. I'm using 100lb spools of the wire, which
are a real pain to deal with when they are nearly full.

Does anyone have any advice on how to dispense the wire off of the
spool? I've tried leaving the spool in one place and running the wire
out, but the wire comes off the spool and twists, makingit hard to deal
with. If I could rig something up so that the spool could be carried,
so that the wire comes off the spool in the same direction it went on,
it wouldn't twist - but the spools are just too heavy. I've seen
'spinning jennys' being recommended, but to get the wire on the
spinning jenny I'd have to take it off the spool it came on, so that
doesn't seem to be any easier that just dealing with the twisting.

I'm just to see what inventive ways others have used to run out the
wire!

Thanks,
Corey

Well, you've got some nerve posting an on-topic question to this group!
I'll take a stab:

A spinning jenny is what you want. You don't need to re-coil the wire
on the jenny, the jenny has adjustable arms as the core, so you place
the coil of wire on and adjust the arms to hold it tight. Really, a
jenny is what you want. SHould cost less than $50 for a simple one;
I've seen some places that rent them as well. You could probably
jury-rig something if you needed to, and had an appropriate bearing.

Wait, I just re-read what you wrote: the wire came on a spool? I've
never seen that before - around here, high-tensile wire comes in
spool-less coils.

How about something like this.

All sorts of devices made for what you want to do. Some attach to your
tractor, truck or whatever.

The biggest issue I have is that I you don't keep the wire under
a certain amount of tension as it feeds, the coils relax and all
try to come off at once. So what you do is build a large "U" shaped
thing like the front fork of a bicycle, with an axel that goes
through the wire-spool. The wire feeds off the spool through a hole
drilled in the far end of the 'U', which keeps the wire from coming
back, and you pack tape on the axle up against the hub to keep the
wire-spool from spinning too freely. If you're moving the whole
coil instead of just the free end of the wire, you extend the planks
past the wire-feed/brake to a wheel, and past the coil of wire
to create a sort of impromptu wheelbarrow.

Although if you're using 100 pound spools and not just 1/4 mile ones,
you probably need a bicycle wheel instead of a lawnmower wheel,
and some sort of stabilizer/stand so you can put the thing down.
How big around is one of these coils? (diameter?)

Yeah, that one had me stumped too. Depending on the type of spool, he
might get by with a piece of black pipe passed through the spool. Either
mount it on a makeshift stand or have a second person carry the other
end of the pipe to unroll it. Or, mount the pipe across the lift arms of
a tractor and unrolled the wire while driving - some type of drag is
needed to keep the spool from overspinning and creating a rats nest of
wire. That's how we used to handle barbed wire.

Got a helper?
Stick a rod throgh the spool .Anchor wire end. Grab ends of rod and
start walking.
Spool will unwind. Pretty simple.

That was my first thought - a pipe through the 3-point hitch.

I don't know what a spinning jenny is, I guess. Isn't that something to
do with the textile industry, spinning fiber into thread automatically?

When I was a kid working on a pole bean farm, we ran out miles of wire
every year and wound it up at the end of the season. We used a PTO
powered wire winder that had a cam on one side that released the roll of
wire when it got full. It would be overkill for what this guy wants.

I'd stick a steel pipe through the spool, and put it up on a couple of blocks.
Then put a brake on the spool so it doesn't overshoot and tangle when you stop
pulling wire off (a long 2" board with a weight on it, resting on the spool
should do) and then I'd pull the wire out with an atv -- at least that's what I
always do on long runs (very dodgy knee here). That's what I did when I had to
run out some ht wire from a spool, except I had a helper act the brake. To make
sure the wire comes straight off the spool you can run it through a tent-peg
placed 10 feet straight out from the mounted spool. Under no circumstances
should you pull the wire off over the side of the spool.

Actually, I don't see why you couldn't make something up that allows you to
mount your spool verticaly on a (braked) spinning jenny like contraption so
long as you can keep the wire from falling off and tangling when you stop
pulling.

There are 3 different spinning jennies pictured near the bottom of the page.

I welded mine up from 1/2" pipe and 4@1/4" bolts, took me a couple of hours and
a small can of paint and some bits of alcathene pipe as 'wearing' surfaces,
been serving for 25 years ...

It's pretty common here in my part of the US. Farmers use it
for temporary fencing. They'll run cattle into the corn fields after
harvest. Cattle learn pretty quickly where that electrified wire is.

They used to sell aluminium coated wire here for a while that came on spools.
I used that for electric fence leadouts for the better conductivity. Problem is
you can't join it with galvanized wire, they rot each other, have to use
stainless steel between. Haven't seen it on offer in NZ for a while though.

I use a thing like that on the back of a quad, tricky thing is; never let go
of the end until it is attached there where you want it and never take the
slack of the spool. I use a piece of inner tube for friction brake when I
slow down. And for the youngsters (my grand kids) don't drive too fast, it
will tip the bike over.;)

High tensile ELECTRIC wire??? Must admit the only high tensile stuff
I've ever seen is for wire fences and not electric.

Thanks to everyone that responded! There are several great ideas in
there that I hadn't thought of.

The spool itself does have a hole through the core. When the first
spool was nearing empty, it was easier for my wife and I to run it out
using an old shovel handle through the core as handles. When full,
it's just too heavy.

I going to try something similar to what Peter recommended, using a
pipe through the spool and the ends of the pipe resting through a
couple of cinder blocks, or possibly attached to a couple of saw horses
if the first method doesn't work. I'll attach the loose end of wire to
my lawn tractor and run it out while someone watches over the spool to
make sure it doesn't over spin or the whole contraption come apart!

Thanks again to everyone!

Cheers,
Corey

Lets break it down for the mouth_from_the_south:

High tensile wire (a smooth solid high strength steel wire, around 12ga)

ELECTRIC wire!!!

See? It wasn't all that difficult, was it?

Ah. I used things like that all the time as a kid, but we never called
them a jenny.

I studied about this spinning jenny in history class:

The only spools we've used are barb wire. And we put those on the top
of the wire spinner using a crow bar through the centre pin. Feeds
out well though but I get the job of feeding it.
Wonder why :-))).

I'll bet every single on of us who does fencing has been caught by
that whipping wire at some stage :-))

A most useful pice of farm equipment. I use it to stop the chaffing
on trees when I have to stake them and as a tie and all sorts of other
things. Since I've given up work, I don't wear stockings any more so
had to find a replacement material. Inner tube does well.

I was a bit sloppy in my wording on the earlier post. I should have
said that I haven't seen high tensile wire specifically for use on
only an electric fence.

> This is what I was thinking of:
> http://tinyurl.com/rb94s

I don't recognise those guages at all. And they don't mention that
it's high tensile. I wouldn't have thought that the posts they show
with them would hold a high tensile wire as they look a bit flimsy.
Although I guess it can still be high tensile even if it's not going
to be strained up tight.

To hold a high tensile wire over some of the distances some of the
wire at that site would cover (ie a quarter of a mile) I'd have
thought that it'd need to use a star picket with the plastic holders
(I think Americans call them Y posts???) as a minimum??????

> Farmers use something like this to energize the wire:

Looks similar to the sort of energisers we use. We have one connected
to teh mains and the one at the other farm is solar.

> Tape and rope here for use in horse fencing:
> http://tinyurl.com/ostka

Yeah that looks like the sort of temporary stuff we'd use too if we
needed to.

Someone once told me that the electric fencing for horses and cattle
has to be different as horses can't take the sort of hit that cattle
can. Dunno if that's right but I've remembered it in case we ever
have horses again.

AL you know I can't see you now you're back in the kill file. All
that bleating and insulting in the wilderness. Such a waste.

But anyone who uses 12 guage for an electic fence has more money than
sense.

And even dim old you should know that the sort of fence required to
hold 12 guage does not consist of just "+ insulated supports + fence
charger(s) = electric fence = high tensile ELECTRIC wire." 8 guage is
enough and it requires posts and strainers or outriders fitted on a
standard and then it doesn't need to be high tensile, just
electrified.

Well Jon, you wouldn't know piece of 12 guage men's wire from an 8
guage boy's wire if it bit you on your ignorant arse and nor could you
use them. I can fence with both even though the 12 guage IS more of a
challenge. I've got it all over you in that department little man,
but then you know nothing about anything anyway.

Per Jim Ledford:

>barbwire \"barb-"wir, "bab-\ noun (1880)

My Webster's College Dictionary has that as a secondary spelling of barbed wire.

Maybe some kind of natural phonetic evolution as syllables get dropped over
time? Sort of like the "can goods" sign in the local supermarket?

Right, you stupid unschooled hick: it's a back country hick
colloquialism, like "ain't" and "he don't". I know what is meant when
some stupid hick says "barb wire", jimmie, but that doesn't make it right.

There was no irony. Hick jimmie is not polite. You
are not polite. The hick rustics are not generally
more polite than the urbane city dwellers.

You've got a lot of gall, Jon, to call me "gutless". I'm not posting here
under a pseudonym like you are, Jon Ball of Pasadena CA -- I'm using my real

You're a liar, psychotic coward Jon Ball. I don't support torture, and no
matter how many times you repeat that lie, it's still a lie. And you're still
crazy. And you're still too much of a coward to post under your real name.
What's the matter, Jon Ball of Pasadena CA USA? Too ashamed of your own name
to admit who you really are? You're not fooling anyone by posting behind this
"Leif Erikson" sock puppet.

quoting from this source:
http://www.newsobserver.com/167/story/389999.html

"Leif Erikson, the Viking credited with sailing
to North America before Christopher Columbus."

today while scanning the local news paper I found something
hilarious. turns out we got a rude city person named jon ball
living in kalifornication posting to a news group, where the main
focus topic should reflect rural life, who is posting under a
nom de guerre reflecting the name of a famous Viking.

to damn funny and yes I can say jon ball is nothing more than
another poor fraudulent soul trapped in a city with great ambitions
to be something jon ball will never be. ROTFLMAO @U jon ball...

Yes, you do, dougie. You kept trying to spin what was done to detainees
at Guantanamo as not being torture when it plainly was. You engaged in
the most oafish dance over it. Defending torture was why you stupidly
tried to assert that the detainees are not covered by the Geneva
Conventions. Your ENTIRE POINT in that stupid and *failed* effort was
to try to defend what was done to them, dougie: you believe that if
they're not covered by the GC, we may do whatever we like, including
torture.

Stop lying, dougie, you gutless little chickenshit. You *did* defend
torture, dougie - you wouldn't have been tying yourself into knots
trying to say that the detainees don't hold GC protections against
torture *except* to defend what has been done to them, dougie; and what
was done to them was torture, and you have defended it.

I questioned how acts that a person commits _on_himself_ can possibly be
torture. You still haven't explained that one.

They're not -- and if you had ever bothered to read the applicable part of the
GC, you'd know that too.

I didn't say that. I said they are not covered by the GC - period. And they're
not. Anyone with a normal ability to comprehend written English, who has
actually bothered to read the GC -- and it's obvious that at least one of
those conditions is not met in your case -- can see that.

Remember teh old song with the line "you don't know what you've got
till it's gone"?

We recently saw miles of a wonderful old fence made with wood
strainers and instead of steel droppers it had all wood posts where
normally steel droppers would be. It was only then that we realised
how few of these fences were now left. The work that must have gone
ito this fence and it still looked good.

Yes, you do, dougie, you gutless little shitbag. You put up over a
dozen posts trying to defend it. Why are you trying to back-pedal now?

You did more than that, dougie. And I *did* explain it, you cunt. The
detainee pulled his own hair out BECAUSE OF the acts of torture that
were committed against him, you goddamned fucking cowardly
shit-4-braincell CUNT. Pulling the hair out wasn't the torture, dougie,
you STUPID shit-eating cunt; it was the *result* of torture.

You stupid hick fat fuck. The man was tortured. No sane and *honest*
person - that second is a key requirement that you *fail*, dougie, you
LYING shitbag - could think that the man wasn't tortured, but here's
your lying asshole attempt:

From the *FBI* report:
"The A/C had been turned off, making the temperature in
the unventilated room probably well over 100 degrees,"

lying TORTURE-DEFENDING hick fat fuck dougie:
For people who live in a part of the world where temperatures
routinely exceed 120, 100 probably feels comfortable.

Defense of torture, dougie.


From the *FBI* report:
"The detainee was almost unconscious on the floor, with a pile of
hair next to him. He had apparently been literally pulling his own
hair out throughout the night."

lying TORTURE-DEFENDING hick fat fuck dougie:
How is it "torture" when the guy pulls out _his_own_ hair?

honest pro-American citizen Leif:
The things that were done to the man *in* 100F +
temperatures are what constitute the torture, dougie.

lying, dissembling, TORTURE-DEFENDING cocksucker dougie:
I didn't see any mention in your post of anything that was done to
him.

[at this point, the gutless hick shitbag dougie let the thread drop]


You think he just decided to pull his hair out for the fun of it, eh,
dougie, you shit-eating cocksucking Indianapolis pansy?


>> You engaged in

The Supreme Court ruled they are. But it doesn't matter if they are or
not, dougie - torture is always wrong, not to mention counter-productive
if one's goal is really to get useful intelligence. Of course, you,
being a benighted stupid cornholing hick fat fuck, never cared about the
intelligence aspect of it anyway; you see these detainees as ay-rabs and
other mooslums and you hate them and just want to see punishment
inflicted on them. That's a big part of being a stupid, unsophisticated
red state fat fuck.

Unsupported assumption on your part -- as I have pointed out previously. You
have yet to do anything more than assert this with no proof whatsoever. Since
you're a known and proven liar, please pardon me if I don't put much weight on
your unsupported assertions.

Unsupported assumptin on your part, Jon. You have no idea what may or may not
have been done to him. You're assuming what you want to be true, but you have
no proof.

Yes, and the Supreme Court ruled that McCain-Feingold doesn't violate the
First Amendment, either, which it plainly does. The Supreme Court also ruled
at one time that "separate but equal" was perfectly Constitutional, and it
also once declared that human beings were property. They don't always get it
right, and this was another case -- like the ones mentioned above -- in which
they got it wrong. The plain language of the GC shows that armed terrorists
who are captured on the field of battle, wearing neither uniform nor insignia,
are not covered by the GC -- which you would know if you had ever read it, and
were smart enough to understand it.

Now go take your meds, Crazy Jonnie, before they come after you with the nets.

There's the full shame of your self-imposed mental handicap paraded
around like some kind of banner, fat farm pig. In any case, you didn't
"misspell" the word in the sense that you really know how it's spelled;
you really did think it's "barbwire".

There's no reason for me to know anything about it, fat farm pig
frannie. You don't know anything about economics or computers, either.
I could learn anything I needed to know about fencing in an hour or
so; you will never understand computers, economics, literature, history,
law or (heh heh heh) politics.

Give it up, Jon. You're full of beans, and you know it, so you hide behind a
cloud of foul and abusive language -- just like you're hiding behind that
made-up name.

I noticed that the substance of your foul language has changed, calling me a
stupid c**t -- I guess you're angry with some woman, and taking that anger out
any way you can. Your wife been beating you again, little Jonnie?

Go take your meds, Jon, and lie down. You'll feel better soon.

Prediction: this will trigger yet another flood of profanity from Crazy

His name isn't Leaf, or Leif, or Lief, or anything like that at all. His name
is Jonathan Ball. He's a city boy, lives in Pasadena CA, and is completely
unacquainted with rural life. Why he infests misc.rural is a mystery. He's a
little guy, only five and a half feet tall. Apparently it makes him feel
bigger to verbally abuse other people -- then he throws a tantrum whenever
anyone stands up to him. I'm sure glad I don't have him for a neighbor.
