[QUOTE="callmefence, post: 1336924, member: 24947"] The corner H in the pic below would never hold anywhere on my place [img]http://www.ironmanpipeandsteel.com/images/home/steel-cages.jpg[/img][/quote] I sure wouldn't think so. You forgot to drive em in the ground :mrgreen: A deadman would sure help to. Prefab braces are no good. Not deep enough unless your in rock. Really depends on soil. I generally shoot for 4 to 5 feet on the 2 h post. And 6 to 7 feet on the stubby post. If your going to use wood go as deep as you possibly can. It's easier to spend time getting right than having to redo it. The practice of twisting brace wires between h post in a x helps, but is inferior. I'll post a picture later today of how I like to do it. Years ago made a collar to fit on a 60 pounds breaker hammer to drive to post. Had to stand on the back of the truck to use it . But it would put em in. I see no reason why a skid steer breaker couldn't be made into a driver. [/QUOTE]
