Timco Standard Ratchet Strainer, HDG, 1 Each

The Timco Standard Ratchet Strainer is an essential, heavy-duty component for any fencing project, designed to apply and maintain consistent tension in wire fencing up to 4mm thick. Its robust construction and simple operation make it the go-to choice for both professional installers and DIY enthusiasts looking to achieve a taut, secure, and long-lasting fence line.

The key to its functionality is the integrated ratchet mechanism. This allows you to gradually and precisely tighten the wire to the desired tension with minimal effort. Once the correct tension is achieved, the built-in ratchet clip securely locks the mechanism in place, preventing any slippage or loss of tension over time. This ensures your fence remains straight and effective against livestock pressure and environmental forces.

Fabricated from Hot Dipped Galvanised (HDG) steel, this strainer offers exceptional corrosion resistance. The galvanising process provides a thick, protective zinc coating that shields the underlying metal from rust and weather damage, making it perfectly suited for long-term outdoor use in all UK conditions. Its durable design ensures reliable performance season after season.

This versatile strainer is designed for use with both wood and metal posts, offering flexibility for different fencing systems. Whether you are erecting a new boundary, repairing an existing one, or installing stock fencing, this tool provides a secure and adjustable tensioning solution. It is supplied as a single unit in a convenient bag, ready for immediate installation.
