Default Tensioning grape trellis

I saw an article on the web about tensioning the top wire on a high cordon
setup grape trellis using a weighted bucket and a measured distance to the
wire but now can't find it. My vines are in and the trellis is up but not
tensioned. I understand that about 200 lbs tension is suggested and the
bucket solution seems pretty low tech and simple. Has anyone seen the
article? If I canl't find it again I guess I'll just wait till it gets
loaded in a couple years and tighten it then.
