How do you stretch a wire fence over uneven ground?
The only way to stretch a wire fence over uneven ground is to set posts at different depths to accommodate the contours of the land. Determine the starting point for your fence and set the first post. Unroll enough wire to reach the next desired location for a fence post.
Use a post driver to pound the post into the ground, leaving about 4 feet above ground level. Attach the wire to the post using staples or nails. Tighten the wire by pulling it taut with a pair of pliers or a fence stretcher. Continue this process, setting posts and attaching the wire, until you reach the end of your fence line.
