[QUOTE="CVAR, post: 808842, member: 16130"] Definately do not cut an 8' in half for your H. I always buy 3, six foot posts that are at least 6" wide and I never cut the middle post except to trim an inch or two (I usually try to set the two outside posts just shy of 6') It's funny, I can always tell who has moved out to the country from town because they always put up h braces that have a 3 or 4 foot span - which is worthless, don't do this to yourself. The h's are the MOST important part of the fence, once those are up right, you are set to pull as hard as you want for tension on the wire. I suggest you take a drive and look at bigger ranches that have nive looking fences, then drive til you see an h so you have an idea. You will be happy when you do one right! [/QUOTE]
