[QUOTE="SRBeef, post: 928446, member: 7509"] Related H brace question: I had a very good fence builder do some fences for me and they used approx 10ft 4" for the H braces but put them about halfway between the ground and the top of the posts in a notch they make with a chain saw. They then use this mid height brace as a place to lock the short wood pieces twisted to tighten the brace wires. When I build fences I have always pinned the 4" dia 9-10ft long wood braces near the top of the posts and run the brace wire over one of the extended pins. I use large gripples to tighten the brace wires. Which way is better, mid brace or top brace? By "floating brace" do you mean pinned rather than nailed? Jim [/QUOTE]
