I don't think so.


Nah. whistle

If you stretch net wire the way you should, it'd break 'em right off. But it may just bend them... The ground point is where all the stress leverages when you stretch wire.

On a corner, you need a double H brace to stretch most anything.


OK, I give. I have built a lot of decks, but I have never stretched any wire. Hard for me to believe it would bend a 1/2 inch steel bolt.
Dammit we need 1 inch steel bolts!
