Fence stays help to keep the barbed wire taut and evenly spaced, which makes it more secure and less likely to be damaged by animals or weather. How long should fence stays be? The length of fence stays will vary depending on the height of the fence and the type of fencing material being used. As a general rule, fence stays should be long enough to reach from one fence post to the next. How do you install wire fence stays? To install wire fence stays, you will need the following materials.
