Installation Steps

1

Set Your Wire Spacing

Start with your barbed wire or smooth wire already strung between posts at proper spacing. The wires should be tensioned and attached to your fence posts before installing stays.

2

Position the Stay

Place the HDPE stay onto the fence so that each horizontal wire lines up with the closest notch on the stay.

3

Insert the Install Wire

Take the included galvanized installation wire and thread it between:

  • The inside wall of the stay (the notched side)
  • The horizontal fence wires you already strung

The install wire should run vertically along the stay, catching each horizontal fence wire.

4

Tighten and Secure

Using pliers, tighten the install wire. Twist the wire ends to secure them firmly. The stay should now be locked in place against the fence wires.

5

Repeat Along the Fence Line

Continue installing stays at regular intervals along your fence. Typically one or two stays between each post, or as needed based on terrain and fence conditions.

Installation Tips

Spacing Guide

Install one or two stays between each post for standard fencing. Use more stays in rough terrain or high-pressure areas.

Wire Tension

Make sure your fence wires are properly tensioned before installing stays. Loose wires make installation harder.

Notch Alignment

Each fence wire should rest in the center of its notch. If spacing doesn't match, adjust the stay position up or down.

Weather Ready

HDPE stays can be installed in any weather. Unlike wood, they won't absorb moisture or change size with temperature.
