Wire Fence 



On the model form of woven-wire fence, the tensile strain figures to 

 a very small degree. What the manufacturer aims to accomplish is 

 to produce a hard wire without having this of spring-steel grade, so that 

 it will stand more or less abuse and still not be so hard but that it can 

 be spliced. Some types of fence are of rather weak construction, and 

 for top and bottom wire high carbon steel is used to hold up the fabric.
