How NOT to park and how NOT to build a fence.

Those twist-on stays, stay bent on the bottom....

. . . and sometimes one or two places in the middle.

always fun to put slightly bent stays on old rusty barbed wire!

It ain't fun but I know how to dig in caliche from my days living in Burleson County.

You mean dynamite? Will the HOA let you do that? 🤣

Oh, I've always bent down to straighten the bottoms of the stays to make them look aligned/pretty.....it's been an endless job.
So what you're telling me...is the bent bottoms are normal cattle use and I can removed that extra task? I guess you can tell who the new cattle rancher is... by watching them. lol

Spray a little WD-40 on the stays and they'll almost fall on!

I'm not referring to the bottom/top being in a straight vertical line. I mean the bottom of the stay (below bottom wire) getting BENT at a sharp angle by cows putting their heads under the bottom wire and going down the fence line and actually bending the stay at the bottom.

I know and I've been straightening those bottoms..continuously.
