Wire Fence For Your Home Improvement
by: Vikram S.
Wire fences are made based on a simple principle that is on the support of tension. Tension is created between the wires when they are tightly stretched. These wires are stretched generally between two vertical posts. These strutted posts are given additional support from small metal or wooden posts that helps in keeping wires upright. Placing of the strutted posts usually depends upon the fencing style used. Earlier galvanized mild steel was used as the fencing material in case of wire fencing, but now galvanized steel of high tensile strength is also being used in different places.
As the wires becomes saggy with time, it increases the chances of entanglement of the wires or escape. If you describe anything as saggy, you intend to say that it has loosens its firmness or has become less firm with the passing-by time. To avoid loosening of the wires, they are stretched to such an extent that the wire allows.Wire fences can be stretched by a hand operation, using a wire stretcher or with the help of a vehicle such as tractor.
Wooden posts are used as the support posts in the extension of these wire fences. Wire fences are generally stretched between two wooden posts. Wood can be easily obtained from trees, which is a natural resource. So, timber for these support posts made up of wood which can be easily obtained from nature. However, the availability of the wood may differ with the density of trees in different areas.
The sources of these wooden posts are trees like juniper and oak. Juniper and oak trees are naturally rot resistant. The cost of the wood can also affect your pocket. Wooden support posts are usually used for stretching of non-electric wires. Steel posts can be a good alternative to the wooden posts. The availability of steel is more than the wood and it is cost effective too. So, steel support posts provides you a good alternative to the wooden posts.
