So can anybody please tell me how spiders manage to place a single strand of cobweb between to posts 10 ft apart?

I just don't get it!

I'm forever going out in the garden and seeing (or walking straight through) a strand that goes between the garden gate and some other point - six feet in the air.

Do they start at one end, climb down, walk between the two points, climb up the other side, pull it taught and then attach it? Or do the little eight legged freaks somehow levitate between the two points whilst shooting the web out of their arse?

Never worked it out!

"They swing,the wind also blows them "

What if the wind is blowing the wrong way?

Plus - how do they swing between two points 10 ft apart but only 6 ft high? Surely they'd hit the ground en route?

Is it building a goal?

they go wherever the wind blows them. I think the big meaty ones climb down the poles across the floor and back up the other then pull it tight. Or,it could be one of those jumping spiders

Eight legs. Swinging and squirting.

Sounds like a few MFMF's I've enjoyed!

Getting back on topic I think they squirt silky threads into the wind and when they stick they walk along laying down the really sticky stuff

Wikipedia is your friend:

Many webs span gaps between objects which the spider could not cross by crawling. This is done by first producing a fine adhesive thread to drift on a faint breeze across a gap. When it sticks to a surface at the far end, the spider feels the change in the vibration. The spider reels in and tightens the first strand, then carefully walks along it and strengthens it with a second thread. This process is repeated until the thread is strong enough to support the rest of the web.
