Answer This Question
A:Â I use this product for a completely different item. The only thing I could suggest would be to go on Utube maybe you can find a video there. Please make sure you call and complain to a home depot regional manager. Putting up a fence should include the tension wire. That is just not right.

A:Â I don't know of a video, but just weave it through the very bottom squares of the fence.similar to the way the tension bars are installed on the ends of the fence at the corner posts.On longer runs I like to use a 4"-6" turnbuckle between the posts and the wire to help to achieve more tension.Hope this helps.

A:Â Don't know about Frame Gard but I've purchased Yard Guard tension in 9 & 12.5 gage wire. The 9 gage is is extremely stout I cut it in 18" lengths and bend in into a U & use it for ground barrier staples. Using the 12.5 gage snaps with too much tension on fences. That's about all I got.

Answer This Question
A:Â Yes it can be used, but it is difficult to twist by hand . You would have to use pliers to bend the wire. It does have good rigidity.
by|Nov 4, 2019
A:Â Probably not, too light weight material.
by|Nov 2, 2019
A:Â Soil - this wire would not be able to be used for greenhouse hoops. Thank you for asking.

A:Â I know right? I could bend 12.5ga. all day long. But 9ga.? It just about wore me down to a nub after only 3 hours. And I'm no weakling by any sense of the word.
I also have gone through the revolving door of confusion but didn't get anywhere.
by|Jan 16, 2019
A:Â I think whats confusing is that they are not using the American Wire Gage standard. The american wire gauge is one of those things like metric vs inches. Everyone else uses metric but us Americans have decided to use another system. Its the same thing here. This wire is 12.5 gauge unless you are using the AWG in which case it would be 9

A:Â We are so sorry for the confusion this product page has caused you. We have corrected our marketing copy as this is indeed a 9 gauge wire and are so sorry for the frustration that this has caused your shopping experience with THD.com. If you were looking for the 12.5 gauge tension wire that is offered as well, model # 328788DPT.
Please call (800)628-8815 if you have any other problems.
Thank You,

This loop is far more than I needed for the minor repairs on my chain link fence, but, they don't sell smaller loops. Also, this is very difficult to cut (had to use a hack saw) and bend (had to use a vise and heavy-duty linesman's and needle nose pliers), unlike the previous version that I had, which was much easier to cut and bend (a much smaller loop with a lighter gauge that I purchased from a mom-and-pop hardware store, decades ago, which is now out of business). However, the places where I mended the fence required an extra-strength hold, so, this wire was better than my old one. Despite the time and trouble needed to work with this wire (there is a special tool to cut and bend it, but, that's something I don't want to pay for!), I have no doubt that this wire will stay put for years to come, and I am sure that I will find other uses for it that I couldn't do with the old wire (e.g., hold a sagging auto exhaust system or basement copper pipe, or hang a heavy tool, or restrain a leaning tree or pole, etc.).

Good wire for grape trellis
I picked this up to make a grape vine trellis for my wife. The wire was ok, but I had to muddle through many before I found a bundle that was not opened. I've had bad luck with opened packaging and did not want to risk being shorted on length. Overall, it's ok wire, incredible how the price of wire, even non-copper have gone up in price.

Hello, in order to better understand your review, could you explain what did not meet your expectations?
Everbilt 170 ft. 9-Gauge Metal Tension Wire is a necessary requirement for a secure chain link fence. When properly installed, it will help keep anything from pushing under the bottom of the fence including people, pets, livestock and sporting balls. The Everbilt Galvanized Tension Wire will resist weathering and rust and increase longevity. This galvanized coating makes the fittings perfect for outdoor and long-term use. The chain link fence tension wire stretches to 170 linear feet. The tensile of this wire is softer to allow for easier installation, while the 9-Gauge steel provides maximum strength to complete the job.
Chain link post installation is a snap with a post anchors. Drive posts in plumb and slide on an anchor before stretching chain link fabric. Pound anchor into ground slightly below surface.
Build a Better Fence with the Slipfence Traditional Brackets (6-pieces brackets per pack) attach directly to your Slipfence aluminum posts, (sold separately), providing a stable and long-lasting framework for your wood fence. Then simply drop in either 2 x 4 wood rails (sold separately) as your top, middle and bottom rails and proceed to clad 1 -side or both with fence pickets. Each kit comes with 6-pieces aluminum brackets, 18 self-tapping stainless steel screws to fasten brackets to posts and 30-stainless steel wood screws to fasten your wood rail, to the brackets. What you end up with is a warm and private wood fence, with the stability and endurance of an aluminum fence. Not included is fence pickets, wood rails and 2 in. deck screws or nails.
A Trex fence bracket is designed specifically for the Trex Seclusions fence. Four fence brackets are included in each Trex Seclusions Privacy Fence Kit. The fence bracket design allows for sloping fence rails. For left or right angles, use the Trex angle adaptor (Model# FBRKTADAPT). Fence brackets attach to posts using four 1-5/8 in. wood exterior screws. Both the Trex top rail and aluminum bottom rail rest on the fence brackets.
