Once the Poly is in position, place a couple of temporary sections 
of Wiggle Wire between Point  

4  

and Point 

6   

to help prevent 

the Poly from shifting while the Wiggle Wire is installed on the 
first side. 

Begin installing Wiggle Wire at Point   

2  

(center of the FieldPro) 

and work down to Point  

1  

. Return to Point  

2  

and install 

Wiggle Wire to Point  

3  

. Be sure to let the Poly edge 

overhang 3 to 6 inches. 

It helps to have two workers install the Wiggle Wire 
to prevent drooping and main proper tension down the 
entire length. One worker tensions the Poly while the 
second worker follows along inserting the Wiggle Wire
Using a helper in this manner while installing the Wiggle Wire 
will make the wrinkles disappear. See Detail 1.

Now go to the other side of the FieldPro. Begin Installing Wiggle 
Wire 
at Point  

5  

working one side at a time same as the first side. 

Use a helper again to help tension the Poly as the Wiggle Wire 
is inserted.

Be sure the Wiggle Wire is seated properly into the Wiggle Wire 
Base
. Adjust the Poly and Wiggle Wire as required.

Starting at the top of the End Frame at Point  

7  

, begin installing 

Wiggle Wire down to Point  

4  

. Go back to top and install Wiggle 

Wire down to Point  

1  

. Next do the same on the other End Frame 

of the FieldPro.

After all the Wiggle Wire has been installed on both sides and 
along the top of both End Frames of the FieldPro, the corners 
(see red dots in illustration) need to be reinforced with additional 
12" pieces of Wiggle Wire. Also note Detail 2 showing proper way 
to install the Wiggle Wire at the corners.
