Do you not roll it around your elbow and wrist - until it gets so tight you nearly sprain your wrist taking it off…

Then you throw it in a corner of the shed and can’t find it when you want it…

When you do find it, when you’re looking for something else, and you unroll it - it all unrolls into a mess and you have a pure balls of a job and have to break it a few times to sort it out… You curse the day you bought it and say you’ll stick to polywire in future…

Thats what “works” for me anyways 🙂🙂🙂

A spinning jenny will wind up wire as well as roll it out. The most basic type maybe not as good as winding it up as some of the fancier types.

Two man job. Get a barrel or something similar - important though that there is no lip on it whatever it is.

One person rolls the barrel winding the wire on. Second person stays ahead of the barrel keeping tension on the wire so that it winds on rightly.

When done gently slide it off the barrel and cable tie or tape up at regular spacings to keep its shape.

You could also manually roll it by hand along the ground without a barrel.

Edit - what length are you talking about?

Welding wire reel cast off from your local welder

A fencing spinning jenny would do the job. Use cable ties every so often to keep it together. 2 people needed as said above.

As mentioned above, a mig welding reel. Any fabrication place will have them knocking around. Very handy

If it's really light like tying wire just buy a fencing reel in the coop will reel it up no bother
