Installing barbed wire fence stays

When installing fence stays on barbed wire, you should start by carefully measuring the distance between the wires of the fence. This measurement will determine the length of the fence stay that you need to purchase. Look for fence stays that are designed specifically for barbed wire fences. These stays often have a small hook at one end to hook onto the wire and a straight end that slides between the wires.

To install the fence stay, first lift the wires slightly to create some space between them. Then slide the straight end of the fence stay into this space. Next, lower the wires back down onto the fence stay, and adjust the position of the fence stay so that it is centered between the wires. Secure the fence stay in place by bending the hook over the wire and twisting it slightly to lock it into place.

Finally, check to ensure that the fence stay is secure and that it is straight and level with the ground. If necessary, adjust the position of the fence stay or add additional fence stays to ensure that the fence is properly supported and secure.

Please note that working with barbed wire can be dangerous and should only be done by trained professionals. If you are not experienced in this type of work, please consult with a professional fence installer or farmer to ensure that the job is done safely and effectively.
