2. Turnbuckle - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turnbuckle

   A turnbuckle, stretching screw or bottlescrew is a device for adjusting the tension or length of ropes, cables, tie rods, and other tensioning systems. It normally consists of two threaded eye bolts , one screwed into each end of a small metal frame, one with a conventional right-hand thread and the other with a left-hand thread.

3. Agricultural fencing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agricultural_fencing

   To prevent sagging of the fence, which raises the risk of entanglement or escape, the wire is tensioned as much as the material will safely allow during construction by various means, including a hand-operated "wire stretcher" or "fence stretcher" [4] (called a "monkey strainer" in some areas) or other leverage devices, a winch, or even by ...

4. Chain-link fencing - Wikipedia

   Chain-link fencing showing the diamond patterning A chain-link fence bordering a residential property. A chain-link fence (also referred to as wire netting, wire-mesh fence, chain-wire fence, cyclone fence, hurricane fence, or diamond-mesh fence) is a type of woven fence usually made from galvanized or linear low-density polyethylene-coated steel wire.

6. Tensioner - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tensioner

   Overhead electrical wires may be kept in tension by springs or weights. Conveyor belts; Chair lift and gondola lift cables; Certain wood trusses, such as the beam tensioner truss picture below. [5] [6] Fencing made of wire, such as electric fences, barbed-wire fences, and chainlink fences often include tensioning devices to keep them taut.

7. Guy-wire - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guy-wire

   The tension in the diagonal guy-wire, combined with the compression and buckling strength of the structure, allows the structure to withstand lateral loads such as wind or the weight of cantilevered structures. They are installed radially, usually at equal angles about the structure, in trios and quads. As the tower leans a bit due to the wind ...

8. Tie (engineering) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tie_(engineering)

   A tie, strap, tie rod, eyebar, guy-wire, suspension cables, or wire ropes, are examples of linear structural components designed to resist tension. [1] It is the opposite of a strut or column, which is designed to resist compression. Ties may be made of any tension resisting material.

9. Barbed wire - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barbed_wire

   Barbed wire fence in line brace. The most important and most time-consuming part of a barbed wire fence is constructing the corner post and the bracing assembly. A barbed wire fence is under tremendous tension, often up to half a ton, and so the corner post's sole function is to resist the tension of the fence spans connected to it. The bracing ...
