We are fixing to build 2,600 of fixed knot fence for a cross fence. I've done some fixed knot in high pressure areas but the longest run I've put up is about a 800' wing that leads to the corral. My question is about brace post.
I watched a video on T gripples for end terminations and the guy got to talking about braces for high tensil. On his braces the 3 uprights were setup just like a double H but, the horizontal pipe went from midupright height to ground level at the next upright. He swore this was the strongest way to build a brace. I've always built double H braces with both cross sections at around 2/3 height and horizontal. I've done a few with the second cross section as a kicker to the ground but for me it takes more time while working alone. He also used galvenized pipe.
What do yall think?
