I had about 300' of 5' high woven no-climb fence attached to 2" steel pipe pounded into the ground. Looked good until my Mastiff checked out the fence. He dug a little and pushed the bottom of the fence until he broke the wire and made enough room to escape. The fence was the heaviest gauge wire at TSC that was 5' high.
My proposed resolution is to run 3/16" wire rope along the bottom and use heavy duty wire ties to tie the fence to the wire rope.
But I need to get the wire rope tite. So I plan to wrap the wire rope around each pipe and use a turnbuckle to tighten it. And spiral clamps on the pipe to prevent the wire rope from creeping up the pole.
I am trying to figure out if I can tighten the entire 300' with a single turnbuckle even as its wrapped around each pole.
Maybe some lubricant on the wire rope where it is looped around each pipe.
