ABSTRACT:
A strainer/stay combination for use in fencing, includes a strainer having one end to be inserted into the ground; a unitary, one-piece prop member connected to the strainer, the prop member having first and second opposite ends, with the first end connectable with the strainer; a thrust member locatable on or in the ground, the thrust member including an upper surface and a channel which is open at the upper surface, the channel having a non-linear portion, and the channel receiving the second end of the prop member at an acute angle to the ground; an adjustable elongated tensioning member for connecting the thrust member to the strainer, the tensioning member having a first end with a non-linear portion which is received, located and held in the non-linear portion of the channel and a hook at the first end such that the second end of the prop member engages with the hook to hold the first end of the tensioning member in the channel, and a second threaded end which penetrates the strainer; and a nut engaging the second threaded end of the tensioning member for adjustably moving the tensioning member in an axial direction thereof; wherein, in use, the prop member once received is located at an acute angle with respect to the tensioning member and the prop member is held in compression against the strainer, thus preventing lateral movement of the strainer under the influence of lateral strain.
