Re: RC: fencing

Hi Debi
I used the tape in Cuyama, but unfortunately tried to use my old
insulators which were made for wire; wrapped them up and down the
holders, like wire. Didn't work; the wind blew them off after they
stretched out with sun, etc. What a mess! Had to keep checking and
fixing them---- around 120 acres of pasture. Boy was I fit that year! Be
sure to get the holders that you actually thread them all the way
through; not just wrap "over and under".
