The day I figured out my string lines were always sagging
I spent five years setting fence posts by eye and wondering why my runs always looked wavy. Then a guy I was working with in Phoenix pointed out I was pulling my string line too tight. He showed me how a slight droop actually follows the ground better for a straight top line. Has anyone else had that "aha" moment with something basic like string tension?

So at 40 feet of run between stakes, what kind of droop are you aiming for... like an inch or more like three? I always thought tighter was better but now I'm second-guessing every fence I've ever built. My last job definitely has some waves I'd rather not look at too close.
