Fit a stay at each end first, because an end panel has a neighbour on one side only. Add one on the hanging side of every gate, since a swinging gate pulls on the fence each time it opens. On open, exposed ground, or where the land slopes or stays soft through the winter, add further stays every few panels along the run. Always set the stay on the side that takes the load, usually the side away from livestock or the prevailing wind.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eInstallation and care\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBolt the top of the stay bar to the panel upright near the top rail.
