This True Products Line Straining Tension Wire is for DIY landscapers and property owners needing to secure mesh fencing. Its key benefit is providing consistent, reliable tension for a neat and durable fence line. A potential caveat is that it requires separate tensioning tools for proper installation. This galvanised steel wire is designed to keep various types of mesh fencing, from chain link to windbreak netting, taut, upright, and secure. It's ideal for use with wire tensioners or turnbuckles, offering corrosion resistance and long-lasting strength for outdoor applications. Beyond fencing, it also serves practical purposes in crafts and for hanging items.

This tension wire is suitable for chain link, rabbit fencing, hexagonal wire fencing, stock fencing, welded wire mesh fencing, windbreak and shade netting, and plastic garden mesh fencing.
Yes, you will need wire tensioners or turnbuckles to effectively strain and secure the wire. The wire itself is the tensioning element, but tools are required to apply the tension.
Absolutely. The wire is galvanised for corrosion resistance, extra strength, and longer life, making it ideal for outdoor environments and applications.
Yes, it can also be used for hanging objects for drying and for general craft projects.
The wire is 2.5mm thick, made of galvanised steel.
The galvanisation process coats the steel with a protective layer of zinc, which provides excellent resistance to rust and corrosion, significantly extending the wire's lifespan.
Ensure your wire tensioner or turnbuckle is functioning correctly and securely attached to both the wire and the anchor point. Check that the wire is not snagged on anything along its run.
The wire may not be sufficiently tensioned. Re-tension using the tensioning tool. Ensure the wire is correctly routed and anchored at both ends.
While galvanised, prolonged exposure in harsh conditions may eventually lead to surface rust. This is typically superficial and does not compromise structural integrity. For aesthetic concerns, consult specific rust removal methods for galvanised steel.
Setup: To set up the tension wire, first, run the wire along the fencing line, attaching it to the end posts. Use wire tensioners or turnbuckles connected to the wire and a secure anchor point (like a fence post) to gradually tighten the wire to the desired tension. Ensure the wire is evenly strained to prevent sagging.
Compatibility: This tension wire is compatible with a wide array of mesh fencing types, including chain link, rabbit fencing, hexagonal wire fencing, stock fencing, welded wire mesh fencing, windbreak and shade netting, and plastic garden mesh fencing. It is designed to work alongside standard fencing posts.
Care: As the wire is galvanised for corrosion resistance, minimal care is required. However, during installation, avoid scratching the galvanised coating excessively. Inspect periodically for any signs of significant wear or damage. If used for non-fencing purposes, clean with a damp cloth and dry thoroughly.
