How to Put on Barbed Wire Clips

Barbed wire is the most commonly used wire for building stock fence. The general method of building this type of fence is by using steel T posts. The wire must be run on the side of the T posts that have the knobs protruding out of the flat side. The wire is attached to the posts by clips that are designed in a V shape with a hook on one end and a closed loop on the other. One clip is used per post for each strand of wire on it.

Instructions

1 Put on the leather gloves to protect your hands from wire cuts.

2 Position yourself on the wire side of the fence. Push the wire strand against the T post and in between two of the protruding knobs.

3 Place the hook end of the clip over the top of the wire strand against the left side of the post. Hook the bend onto the strand and bring the clip around the back side of the post so the point of the clip's V is around the back T portion of the post.

4 Pull the clip toward you so the loop end is on the right side of the post with the loop over the top of the wire strand.

5 Push the point of the nail toward you 13 of the way through the loop from the underside of the wire. Lift the head of the nail up and toward you using the wire as a pivot point and bend the loop under the strand pinching the strand inside the now bent back loop. Pull the nail out.
