[AlpacaTalk] Re: How to put up a fence?

 

If the posts are deep and upright then it sounds like all you need is a
"Come-a-long". Works like a winch, fasten it off, attach to the fence
and ratchet it until that section of fence is tight. Reattach the fence to
the post and move on. Start in the back, at a corner, and just keep
doing one segment at a time. You will end up with extra fencing at the end
Just save it for tomato cages ....

You might try contacting the "fence contractors" and ask them when
they are coming back to finish the fence since it hasn't been tightened
yet"---Might work, not likely.
As usual take pictures of your fence, of a fence that is properly tight
and one of each of the 'guys'; it is always good reference, if you need
to go there (i.e.; Better Business Bureau), or they ever need a reference.

Personally I like the Sunday paper method :
Take out Ad:
These Guys=> Picture 1.
Built this =>Picture 2 (saggy fence)
I, as a Reasonable person, expected this =>Picture 3 (proper tight fence)
END with: This is my work Reference if you are thinking of hiring fencing
help.

But that's just me.
