| This is the way we've been building lately. We electrify some the the wires on ours as they are smooth and the smooth will not turn everything. The same thing can be used for barbed but if you try putting it in the middle of a stretch you will have to cut the wire. Some we put the spring on one end and the ratchet on the other. If its a long stretch in the middle might be the best place but we're using this on a 1/4 mile stretch with it on the end and it works good. Not that you will have anything on it but the other day cleaning up storm damage we released the tension enough that we could lay the wire on the ground and work both sides of the fence then put it back as good as new with just the tensioner handle and a pair of pliers(for the line post fasteners)
OK Wouldn't let me post pics of tensioner and spring on the same end and that the combo we are using now. In the pic of the tensioner the spring is on the other end. This pic is one that we didn't put springs and tensioners in the barb strand but we do on all strands now.
