I'm not trying to teach anyone to suck eggs. There are many techniques to putting up stock fencing, this is just the way I do it. I predominantly do this job alone as I am sure many others out there do as well. Take from this what you will, or nothing at all if you proffer. My Uncle Jack was a fountain of knowledge when I was a little fellow, he taught me fencing and hedge laying ( The Berkeley style) before I was a teenager. I learned plenty more from my father but these two lessons were all Jack.

Also the burred end of chisels should be dressed off for the same reason. I was lucky enough to work on huge construction site that had a blacksmiths and engineering shops. They would make tools and spare parts for equipment that had long run out of parts off the shelf.
Only fencing I did was repairing holes in hedges with posts and barbed wire, our tensioning tool was a length of timber with a slot cut into it and pressure was applied to the barb and a staple knocked in. Now that was a fun job.
That reminds me don't see any chestnut fencing rolls sold nowadays. That way handy stuff as it could be easily rolled up again and used elsewhere, as quick erect fencing
