[QUOTE="Saltydawg, post: 163275, member: 2944"] Just drill a hole in the big piece of pipe and insert the smaller pipe and weld it up....no need to notch. Inserting the smaller piece through the bigger one is much stronger than notching, specially once you get good and can drill both sides of the pipe and stick the smaller piece all the way through to weld both sides. Only drawback is you need to assemble it before you put it in the ground. If you're digging holes and setting it into concrete anyhow it shouldnt be that big of a deal though. Build the corner assembly on a nice flat garage floor then run it out with machine and set it into your holes. Personally if I'm using 4" or heavier pipe I don't bother with braces.....sink it 3 or 4 ft and pour some concrete around it. You'll break your fencing before you bend a 4" pipe. If you're making a deadman and a fancy corner the 1-1/2 once its all tied together should be more than strong enough. [/QUOTE]
