    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.

    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
