The old way is not built for small properties
Traditional strainer assemblies were designed for big operations with full crews and machinery. If you have a lifestyle block or a few acres, the conventional approach is expensive, complicated, and overkill.
- ✕ Contractor quotes often aren't worth it for smaller runs of fencing
- ✕ Timber corners rot and need replacing every few years
- ✕ DIY with traditional methods means post holes, cement, and a mate's help
- ✕ One weekend job turns into three when things don't go to plan
FenceStay - built for people who do it themselves

- ✓ Standard starpickets only - nothing special needed
- ✓ Clear instructions - installed right first time

Built for properties where time and budget matter.
🔧
Weekend job, not a week-long project
You can complete a full strainer assembly in a single session without calling in favours from mates or paying for a contractor.
💰
Dramatically lower cost
Skip the contractor labour bill entirely. FenceStay is an investment in the product, not an hourly rate for someone else to do what you can handle yourself.
🔒
Built to outlast the property
Galvanised steel means you're not replacing rotted corners in 5 years. Install it right and it's effectively a permanent solution.
📗
No experience required
If you can drive a starpicket, you can install FenceStay. Clear instructions come with every kit - no guesswork.
🚗
Portable if you move
Unlike cemented posts, you can pull FenceStay out and take it to your next property. It's yours - not the land's.
✅
Proven strength - not a DIY compromise
Tested to equivalent strength as conventional strainer assemblies. You get DIY simplicity without giving up performance.
How it works
Simple enough for a first-timer. Fast enough for a pro.
1
Drive in your starpickets
Use a standard hand or tractor post driver. No digging, no cement, no special equipment.
2
Clip on the FenceStay assembly
The assembly slides over the starpickets and locks in. If you can follow instructions, you can do this first go.
3
Tension and tie off
Tension your wire, tie off, and you're finished. Works with standard fencing wire and tension gear you already own.

Common questions
No. If you've driven a starpicket before, you have the skills needed. Clear instructions come with every kit. We've had first-time fencers complete their first assembly with no issues.
Engineered to deliver equivalent strength to conventional strainer assemblies. It's not a lightweight DIY substitute - it's a properly engineered system that happens to be far simpler to install.
A post driver (hand or tractor-mounted) and standard fencing tools for tensioning your wire. Nothing special. If you're setting up a small property for the first time, a basic fencing kit from your hardware store covers everything else.
Allow 30-45 minutes for your first assembly as you get familiar with the process. After that, most people are completing each one in well under 30 minutes. A small property with four corner assemblies is a solid half-day's work, start to finish.
Yes. There's no cement, no permanent post holes. Pull the starpickets and the assembly comes with you. It's a genuine asset you own, not a permanent fixture you leave behind.
