Pulling down an old fence is easy. Dealing with metres of wire laying in the grass like a bloody bird’s nest isn’t.
That’s exactly why we built the Hand Wire Reclaimer. Wind good fencing wire back up neatly and reuse it straight onto your standard wire spinner.
A few tricks before you start winding: Walk the fence first and free the wire from clips, staples, grass and rubbish. Cut out badly rusted, kinked or damaged sections rather than winding trouble into the roll. Straighten sharp bends as you go and keep a little steady tension on the wire while winding, going on means neat coming off.
When you’re finished, secure the loose end properly so the coil can’t spring loose. Store reclaimed wire upright, dry and preferably under cover, off wet soil and away from fertiliser or chemicals that can speed up corrosion. And if you’ve reclaimed different gauges or wire types, tag the roll before you forget what it is.
Happy Fencing!
