What is everyone's opinions on using fence stays in order to increase spacing between posts and decrease cost? What spacing do you use with or without stays?
Thanks

I never saw any cedar stays used or for sale in East Texas where I lived.I hate the twist in wire stays, if you're going to use a stay use the cedar ones, personally I would just place the T posts a little closer together and not use stays.

Yes, T posts or wooden posts (or a combination of the 2) closer together but I did use the twist stays where the pasture and yard met to try to keep the cows from running their heads under the fence to eat the yard grass. They would just bend the stays anyway and still get halfway thru the bottom wire on the side of the yard where it stayed wet year 'round..
At my house I call them lawn mooers. Only fired up the mower 4 times this year.Who could turn down a free lawn mowing?
And they fertilize too!
To be fair, you did live down there in that Trinity country.but never put back near what nutrients they take from the soil, AND, left footprints 4" deep for the lawn tractor to run over..
nope. San Jacinto county where the East Fork of the same name ran as my Eastern property line.. Trinity flood plain was farther to the East. The Trinity flood plain is legendary for growing good grass and good hay because it's floodwater leaves behind so many nutrients, including what it picked up when it ran thru limestone regions. Helps the pH.To be fair, you did live down there in that Trinity country.

My little river? Left nothing but misery and a film of local mud on everything since it's source was only about 40 miles north as the crow flies.
