[QUOTE="Stoneridgemb, post: 1688702, member: 41839"] I agree that the diagonal wire is the key to the strength of the whole corner. We use wooden treated posts and a treated post as the top part of the brace. I have stopped using multiple strands of wire and twisting them with a pipe or wooden peg. I found that if you ever want to retighten twisted wire it tends to break right away. We just use a single strand of wire from top of one side of brace to bottom of the other. You can tighten it anytime in future with a couple of hammers. If the frost is pushing out your corners it's one thing but if your high ensile is so tight it's banjoing your corners your might want to ease up a bit. power keeps cattle in electric fence not tension.
