[QUOTE="cmjust0, post: 291878, member: 2882"] I've got a Kiwi/floating/diagonal/kicker brace (whatever you wanna call it) against the inside of the corner post at three bends in my fence line -- flat rocks and all :lol: -- along with H-braces in each direction of pull. [i]Should[/i] be solid.. And yet, one is actually failing right now.. :mad: The corner post can't go left, can't go right, and can't lean in, so it's going the only place it can go -- straight up. That particular corner post is a 6" x 7-1/2' post, driven about 30" deep. It's come back out a good 12-15 inches already, thanks to a pocket of deep topsoil and one of the wettest Fall seasons on record. The mud just flat out won't hold the post down against the pull of the fence. Luckily, one big advantage of hi-tensile fence and using hi-t wire and inline strainers to build braces is that I can let it all go slack, fix what needs fixing, and tighten it back up with minimal cost. It's the "fixing" part that's got me stumped.. How do you fix [i]dirt[/i]? :lol: :lol: [/QUOTE]
