Heres something I've seen and wondered about, those page wire fences here pull themselves down over about 10 years even if there are no animals. How do ya account for the temperature swings?

If I tension the fence in the summer to 250 lbs or so, and she is a hot hot day, in the start of winter before the posts are frozen in really well that fence is cold enough to shrink something like 6" in every 100 ft.

Thats gonna pull the posts out a bit each time it happens. A high tension electric used springs every so often to relieve that.

What do ya do for mesh?
