I'm putting up a lot of 48" H field fence now in about 250' stretches. I'm putting t-posts every 10' and 4x4's every 50' or so. I use a come-along (hand winch) to tighten. I stick a long pry-bar (you could use a pipe or t-post) vertically through the squares (kind of weave it) at the "loose end" of the fence, secure a chain at top & bottom of the bar & attach the winch hook to the middle of the chain. I then use a strap to attach the winch to a nearby tree or post and have at it. I try and tighten every 50'-75' but have gone 100' because there was nothing to grab onto sooner than that. It tightens up pretty quick. I'm using recycled field fence that I removed from other areas of the property and, as you can imagine, it's not straight like you get off a new roll. I straighten the worst spots by hand before I stretch it and it's not coming out too bad at all. I got the pre-formed clips with the t-posts I bought at TSC. They are a real time-saver instead of using wire off of a spool for tying the fence to the t-posts. I use regular fence staples at the 4x4's.
