Retractable Fence
Edwin Hardy came up with a solution to his need for temporary stock fences and gates by designing a spring-loaded, retractable fence.
It consists of a 1-in. dia. steel shaft with a 2-in. coil spring around it. One end of the spring attaches to the shaft and the other end to a 5-in. dia. PVC plastic tube that houses it and the shaft. Several strands of fence wire wrap around the 1-in. shaft and feed out through openings in the plastic housing. They're anchored to a length of metal tubing fitted with a pair of hooks that are pulled out across any opening as needed and hooked to a fence post, building, or what-ever. The retractable fence extends out 45 ft. and can be electrified.
