Product Information
Full details
This Steel Fence Strainer Clamp from Secure Fix Direct is designed for farmers and property owners needing to efficiently strain stock or sheep fencing up to 1 metre high. Its key benefit is the quick and easy hammer-in wedge design, allowing for rapid installation and tensioning. A potential caveat is that it is specifically designed for fencing that requires straining, not for general fence repair.

FAQs
What type of fencing is this clamp designed for?
This clamp is specifically designed for straining stock or sheep fencing.
How high can the fencing be that I use this clamp with?
It is suitable for fencing up to 1 metre in height.
What is the installation process?
The clamp uses a simple hammer-in wedge design for quick and easy installation.
Do I need any special tools to install it?
You will need a hammer to drive the wedge into place.
Can this clamp be used for any type of fence wire?
It is designed for standard stock and sheep fencing wires. Ensure the wire gauge is appropriate for the clamp's gripping mechanism.
How do I ensure the fence is strained to the correct tension?
You can strain the fence to the desired tension by carefully hammering the wedge until the wire is taut, then securing the clamp.
What maintenance is required?
After use, clean off dirt and debris and store in a dry place to prevent rust. Inspect periodically for wear.
Troubleshooting
Clamp does not hold tension
Ensure the clamp is driven firmly into solid ground or against a robust post. Check that the fence wire is correctly seated within the clamp's mechanism. For very soft soil, consider using a wider base or reinforcing the ground.
Difficult to hammer in
Ensure the ground is not excessively hard or rocky. Moisten very dry, hard ground slightly if possible. Confirm the hammer is appropriate for striking metal.
Rust formation
This is a steel product and can rust if exposed to moisture long-term. Clean and dry thoroughly after use and store in a dry place. A light application of oil can help prevent rust.
Fence wire slips out
Ensure the wire is routed correctly through the clamp's channel before driving the wedge. Make sure the wedge is fully engaged to grip the wire securely.
