What gauge fencing wire.

#8

Depends on what size fence you aim to fix

Peter

take a few metres of the lot ---but don't forget the twitch stick

years back i saw an FJ HOLDEN ----whose floor pan had rusted away ---it had a branch of mulga tied across one side to the other with wire and the seat wired down to that.
that was in Hawker S A

As an old fencer & wirer upper, I'd say 10g is plenty good enough
to hold a troopy together. I would go for the older softer style if
you can get it. The newer high tensile stuff snaps easily when
twitched. I would also carry some good lighter tie wire for smaller
jobs, dont know the gauge but at least half a mm thick.....oldbaz.

I would carry 10 guage or 3.25mm.

Should be enough for most needs.

Hi All

I have used the Electrical Conduit Galvanised Pull Through Wire,
you can get it in 40 Metre Rolls, just unroll enough to inter- twine it
to the length you require you can use several strands, its easy to
wrap around things and twitch, I used it once for an emergency
when the Trailer Spring Bolt Snapped, it done the job ok.

I carry some soft iron wire as used for tieing concrete boxing or steel mesh and reinforcing steel. This wire can be twisted before breaking unlike fenceing wire.

I'm a girl - I like No. 8 - find that I can Cobb & Co pretty much anything with No. 8.

This a real easy one to answer.

8g as the only thing you will ever have to fix is the broken down Nissans that you come across.

On second thoughts, you better chuck in a length of 10g to 'splint up' missan-nissan's owner/driver who will have done himself a damage either by attempting suicide or by coming 'unglued'.

Then again a tad of 12g wouldn't go astray either - especially to sew up the 'missan-nissan' broken/bogged 'chev-issan' owners mouth, to save your ears from 'excuse dribble/drivel' that would be emanating from same.

Yep! just take the lot and you will be safe.

Now if you are into fencing wire for fixing things, you should check out the Clamp-It. Very nifty little tool. You make a loop of wire and the clamp it draws it in very tight and ties it off. You can make a whole lot of loops for big jobs. I've seen snapped axe handles; broken suspension shackle springs; snapped bars on roofracks joined with this technique. With one in yout tool box and some wire you don't need to carry a whole lot of different sized circular hose clamps any more either. Also great for making waterproof seals on plastic irrigation systems

Hi
Coat hangers work very well.
