[QUOTE="Brute 23, post: 1648666, member: 6291"] If your wondering how pulling wire effects your corners go stick a rod or tpost loosely in the ground or some where it will purposely give. Tie a rope to it and pull on the post. Which ever way it bends is where you need to put your bracing. Put a rod in the ground and pull it to you with a rope. It will probably bend to you. That is where you need a brace. Put it back and wrap the rope around the post and make a 90 deg corner. You stand on one side with one end of the rope and let another person stand on the other side with the other end of the rope and yall start pulling. It's probably going to bend between yall at round 45 deg.😉 That's where a brace should be if you are going to wrap around a corner, not facing the two rope ends that are pulling against it. Try it for yourself, dont take my word for it. You can get away with a lot of stuff in good ground, good deep posts, and even some of these high tensile wires help. Sand or ground that opens up 2" when it dries out will put any thing to the test. [/QUOTE]
