I've had 8x 125ft long 10ft elevated aluminum radials up for 7 years in
the forest of 100ft+ cedar, fir, and hemlock. Plenty of branch falls up
to 3". Maybe a few inches of sag and no breaks. Negligible stretch.
Using US brand real electric fence wire, 13 gauge. 9 ga is available.

tempered to be very strong under tension.
Geez 2000+ pound Bulls wont go through it. I have had tree branches 4"
dia break before the wire breaks.
Last wire I used this with was a 1500 foot loop up about 60 feet.

I tried the wire with some success but sag due to stretching created
a problem. Wonder what your experience is and also use of steel fence
wire.

Did you use the tensioning springs at the ends that are
made for electric fences? I had beverages up for years
with these springs and never had a problem with sagging,
even with supports spaced every 200 feet .
