Abstract
The invention relates to a pneumatic wire tensioner device having a piston and a rod slidably mounted within a cylinder. The wire is attached to the rod and the cylinder is placed so as to abut a stationary structure to which the tensioned wire is to be affixed. A pressurized gas is introduced into the cylinder to move the piston away from the structure so as to tension the wire to a predetermined tension.
