Make sure you build strong corners--it takes at least 3 posts--one in the corner and one on either side with a support between. Then tie them together with wire going from the bottom of the corner post, around top of the adjacent post. If you don't do this the fence will never retain it's tension, the corner posts will soon be pulled over and the fence will be sagging.

CTS has a nice 'grabber' for the woven wire fences, about $40-50.

I do like Jim and use two good lengths of 2x4, hook up the chain and use a come-a-long to stretch it out...works well...staple the fence well.

Just be careful...the cable on the come along is under a lot of tension.

What I do is to sandwich the fence between 2 2x4 with a couple of carriage bolts.Nail off one end to a end post then with a 8ft section of chain-with a grab hook on one end and aslipon the other- wrap at the top and bottomso you get triangle when you pull the chain out.I prefer a come-a-long (get the good one more money but it'll last) which I attach to my front bumper with a clevis hook.Then start winching away.
Do not use the tractor to take up the slack !!!!!
You don't have the finnes.If you need to unbolt and reattach.That is the slowest part of fencing.Then nail off to your end post and hook to the metal posts.Start again.Its not fast but rewarding.Think about putting planks at the base dogs do dig.Im sure others will have better sugestions.

When I had a kennel for my Beagles,I ended up attaching chain length fencing to the side fencing and laying it out as the floor of the kennel and then covering it with 6 inches or more of "P" stone. Didn't have any more digging and the Beagles were comfortable. Made it easy to clean up the "POOP" Good Luck. Ron

There is a tool you can buy for stretching the fence.. but most people I've seen just make one. Ive seen everything from fairly sophisticated.. 2 2x4's sandwiched over the end peice of the fence ( fence is doubled over the last 4-6 inches for strength ). and then about 5 carraige bolts through the wood makine a wire 'sandwhich'. I've seen lo-tech too, with the end of the wire wrapped around a post or 2x4, and then roped around the links a few times.

these were hitched to trucks or tractors, or fanch fence pullers... My tractor jack has a repositionable front 'thumb' and was advertised as a fence puller or a farm jack.. etc.

whatever you do.. be safe..
