Driving Barbed Staples

Barbed staples should not be driven tight against the wire or ube insulators on line posts. You can utilize the natural spring of high-tensile wire and permit easy tightening and retightening fo the line wire if the wire can move freely.

The most common cause of staple pullout is improperly driving them into the wood posts. Follow these rules to avoid problems.

• Choose the correct size staple for the application. Use at least 1 3/4″ for posts at rises and dips.
• Drive staples at a slight angle, straddling the wood grain.
• Rotate away from flat face.
