[QUOTE="Lisagrantb, post: 1688624, member: 39668"] Definitely yes. Put one from the top down to the bottom of the corner post. It doesn’t matter how stiff your brace is your top strands will be pulling the corner post out of the ground. The brace transfers the tension to the bottom of the corner post. It’s just like hanging a picture on Sheetrock with just a nail, doesn’t matter how strong the nail is it will pull it down and out. The little hooks that angle the nail does the same as the cross brace and the nail can hold a lot of weight. If you don’t put a brace save this thread and in a couple years look at your brace and see who’s correct. The only h brace I’ve seen work without a cross brace was one made with 10” pipe and cemented in [/QUOTE]
