Stretching The 8 Foot Deer Fence, 500 feet, in Traverse City - Heartwood Ciders

In this video, we start stretching the first side of our deer fence (10 acres in total). We get 500 feet tight to the posts and show you how we do it. The material we are using is 20/96/12 Fixed knot 12.5 gauge woven wire wildlife fence. Welcome to Cidery from Scratch! We are David & Rachel, and we've given up our corporate careers to build a Cidery (Heartwood Ciders) in Northern Michigan. This channel will document our journey. Thanks for following us! Please keep in mind that this is our first attempt. Let us know if you have any tips or tricks to make the process easy.
