Installing Line Posts
When you have completed the corner and end posts, you are ready to install your line posts and line post insulators and start running your lines.

First you need a site line. Starting at a gate or end post, feed the ElectroBraid™ through the second insulator from the bottom and secure it using a copper split bolt connector. Pick up the reel and begin to walk the fence line. Insert the ElectroBraid™ behind each corner post insulator. When you get to the end post, insert the ElectroBraid™ behind the end post insulator and secure it with a split bolt. Attach the tensioning device and tighten (see Tensioning ElectroBraid™ page 18). Then loosen the split bolt, pull out the slack and re-tighten. The site line you have created will help you position line posts in a straight line.

On hilly terrain, install line posts at the peaks and valleys first. Then space the remaining line posts to suit the terrain. An ElectroBraid™ Roller Insulator is recommended where there is a horizontal or vertical change in direction. The use of other insulators could allow the Braid™ to pull out under tension.

NOTE: Always work with the "lay" of the land. Place a post at the top of each rise and the bottom of each depression. Recommended distance between line posts is 30 to 50 feet. Reduce spacing the more hilly the terrain or in areas of winter conditions.
