Pulling Wire

Cody & Esteban working our "spinning jenny." You're supposed to put this on the back of a tractor and let it unspool as you drive down the rows, but we just put it at the end of the row and pulled the wire out by hand. You wouldn't want to pull wire without a dereeling device, because you could end up with a real mess.
The wire is 12.5 guage, pretty heavy. We drilled holes in the end posts to run the wires through. We stapled the wire to the post on one end, then ran the wire down to the other end post, through the holes, and secured and tightened it with a "gripple" device. Pulling the wires tight allowed us to easily make straight lines with the line posts. (We had pre-dug the holes but didn't fill them in until the wire was pulled.)
At this time I'm going to put up three wires: one at 24" to attach the drip hose, one at 46" for the cordon, and one at 58" for the canopy. I also drilled holes for a future third wire at the top of the posts.
