premnayloon Posted March 12, 2015 Report Share Posted March 12, 2015 Ive a job next week to fence off a 20 metre section of paddock with torus fence, and a top rail, I've never used torus before, There is a strainer at one end on top of a 3 ft bank then, it runs to another strainer, So how is it best to tighten, torus? I am thinking for such a short run, just to pull round strainer with claw hammer, Also the guy who put up the rest of paddock didn't, tie off the ends just stapled hard to strainer, So what is the best way to do it.

Robbell Posted March 12, 2015 Report Share Posted March 12, 2015 tie both ends and use gripples for a gut pull be careful when tying on as the wire can snap where the x knot was Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
premnayloon Posted March 12, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2015 Even for a small pull like that robb, would a pull from one end not suffice? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeW Posted March 12, 2015 Report Share Posted March 12, 2015 Gripples are good in these situations and for the cost I would do it for ease, I use them a lot in these situations Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
premnayloon Posted March 12, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2015 I don't have long clamps would you suggest pulling every wire individually, it the thought of stripping down all those vertical wires! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbell Posted March 12, 2015 Report Share Posted March 12, 2015 just stick 8 gripples on, work up and down adding tension, they work realy well on short pulls like this wrap the end once you are happy with it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robbell Posted March 12, 2015 Report Share Posted March 12, 2015 sorry mate, i thought you were on a stock fence. Id still use gripples, pull it reasonable tight from one end then finish off with gripples Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charliehub Posted March 12, 2015 Report Share Posted March 12, 2015 The vertical wires are easy to strip on torus just snip the xnot with a good set of snips and they just fall off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
premnayloon Posted August 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2015 Just put my first torus stockfence up, have to say I didn't notice much difference when it came to pulling it or hinge joint, It was a more or less flat pull couple of slight turns,I thought the x knot was easier to remove,but I am just wondering for those of you that use it often, is it better than hinge joint on undulating ground, in thinking it would come into its own then.

Frontrowfencing Posted August 10, 2015 Report Share Posted August 10, 2015 We use it all the time now, much easier and quicker to strip. Goes well on undulations, not that we have to many hills here, not big ones anyway. Regarding pulling I would generally pull that length and tie off, or like rob says for ease stick a line of gripples in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
