Rossville anchors the Kaw Valley country along US-24. The school district here reaches across four counties, which tells you what the ground is: farms spread thin over a lot of miles, not houses on lots. Fields run long and flat along the valley. That shape favors high-tensile smooth wire, because a long straight pull is exactly what high tensile is good at.
Twelve and a half gauge high-tensile wire carries well over a thousand pounds before it stretches. Soft wire gives early and never comes back. We pull ours to a set tension with a ratchet strainer and leave an in-line spring on the run so the tension is visible from the pickup. Wire tightens in a Kansas January and slackens in an August afternoon. The strainer takes that slack back out in year three without rebuilding anything.
High tensile costs less per foot than woven wire and demands more of the ends. Every strand pulls toward the corner. We answer that with a double H-brace on long runs and a single H everywhere the line turns hard. Class 3 galvanized coating carries about three times the zinc of Class 1, which is the difference between a fence that outlives the note and one that rusts at the splices.
Hedge posts still stand in fence rows all over this valley. We will work with what is there and replace only what has gone at the ground line.
