8) Trim The Fence Out

1. Staple the fence to the wooden fence posts

   Staple and clip the fence from
   the ground up if you are trying to control predators.

   If you are trimming the fence to a height of 3-5
   inches off the ground, trim from the top so that
   the fence has a smoother top finish.

   Hammer all fence staples at an angle to ensure that
   the barbs on the staple get a good grip into the
   fence post’s wood grain. This also helps to
   stop any potential splitting of the post.

   IMPORTANT NOTE:
   Do not hammer the staples completely into the wood.
   You must leave enough room to allow the wire fence
   fabric to slide freely under the staple. This enables
   the fence to flex upon impact by large animals,
   or when expansion and contraction of the fence occurs
   due to changing temperature.

2. Attach the fence to the intermediate steel postsBe sure to use only Class-3
   galvanized clips to fasten our high-tensile
   wire to steel posts.

   We recommend our fast and easy post clip system
   for fastening the fence wire to intermediate
   steel posts. Our system works with both t-posts
   and steel pipe (cylindrical) posts.

   To fasten the clips on the post, slide the
   clip around the post and over the fence wire,
   then slide the tails of the clip into the
   holes in the special clip drill chuck. Use
   your drill to twist the ends of the clip tightly
   around the post.
