[QUOTE="NorthernIllinois, post: 928497, member: 18052"] Ran it through a structural design program. Assuming that the primary failure is the corner post pulling out of the ground, it does not really make much of a difference whether you put the brace high or in the middle. To prevent the corner from pulling out the best thing you can do is make your horizontal brace longer or go with a double h brace. The difference between a lower and higher bar is the difference of a few pounds while the difference of adding 2 feet to the brace reduces the uplift by over 100lbs. The double assembly more than cuts it in half. The floating brace does show more uplift. [/QUOTE]
