Oh I got a guy wants a bunch of pipe and cable fencing.

Cable that size is hard to keep tight need some springs on it for tension.  I got a barrel of springs but think they are too tight for cable that size.  Big old car springs work best.  Most here use the smaller high tensile cable on fences.  Try yellow pages...

They are not continous runs max length is about 300ft and the exsisting fence has just a nut welded on each end to tighten seems to have worked well past.

i have 50 spools of 9/16 cable in like new condition. each spool has 8-10,000 ft of cable on them. Im building alot of feedlot fence right now and have a unlimited supply of cable.  Located west of okc.   10 cents per ft. I have shipped this all over texas, oklahoma and ks.

I might be able to make that work.....the bad part is all their exsisting fence is 5/8" and of coarse they want it to match.

i have access to 5/8"too. this is very clean material. i will get you pics tomorrow. i need your email address.

the nut trick works great. on new construction, we are using a 1/2" x 9" turnbuckle on one end. Some of the nicer ranches dont want car spring "look" around their ranch.

I have a freight broker that can get a great freight quote to Colorado....what town may i ask?
Parent - By pipehead (***) Date 10-13-2009 02:48
pueblo
Parent - - By pipehead (***) Date 10-13-2009 02:47
Yeah it looks good and works good as long as something not pushing on it all the time. I did a dairy and a arena awhile back and used springs and turnbuckles but I enclosed the inside a pipe sleeve so the could be seen or a horse couldn't rub on em
Parent - - By shorthood2006 (****) Date 10-13-2009 02:49
i found a sa 200 in pueblo yesterday on craigslist. i might haul it myself if we can get the freight agree'd upon
Parent - - By pipehead (***) Date 10-13-2009 02:50

Parent - - By pipehead (***) Date 10-15-2009 00:07

Parent - - By pipehead (***) Date 10-15-2009 00:10
