Did you use real Aluminum electric fence wire? The real stuff is 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 .
