Best practice is to tie off both ends and tension and join the wire in the middle of the run, although on short runs its fine to tie off one end after tensioning.Sorry, what i meant is that in the past and just recently i have double stapled to finish off a line. So i put tension on using the monkey tool or my fence clamp, then staple then release the tool. I'm guessing the same applies but with a gripple (or tied wire) instead of the staple?
