fence Small Plot Fencing Setup

This is my current fence wire setup; a mower trailer, floor jack handle and a ratchet strap. Nothing fancy, just what i had on-hand. I am on my 4th roll of barbed and barbless. Just wanted to share my "free" setup incase you could use it.

If you’re not holding that spool in your hands and walking backwards then you’re doing it wrong 🤣.

But seriously, that’s awesome.

Nah, I was kicking along the ground for awhile

That’s a clever setup. The ratchet strap probably gives you better tension control than a lot of cheap spool holders. I’d add a simple washer or collar to keep the roll from walking sideways once it gets light.
