Excellent demonstraiton. thank you for sharing. I've seen these fencing corner brace arrangements exactly like this or similar, hundreds, if not thousands of times over the years. But I've never had the occasion to actually watch them being constructed. Nice to actually see one being put together.

Great video! I normally use the tractor to position the horizontal braces before using the long bit to drill the holes. It makes sure rebar is aligned correctly while driving it in.

Thanks for this, Pete! I really like how you didn't over engineer everything. I was really glad to see the reliable simplicity of your wire stays. (I was over thinking that bit) I hope the orchard is going well. I'm currently building my fencing to keep out elk and coyotes.

Thanks for a good demonstration. Now we’ll start fencing in the spring. God bless you.

Great video. I will be doing fencing soon and this is the most simple way I have seen to do corners. Thanks.

Nice work, and it's peaceful listening to you explain what your doing without all the anoying useless info other channels are providing. You hit the nail on the head when you said there are other ways of doing it, but this was cheap and it works. I'm all for the cheapest way as long as it works and it lasts. I will be doing a similar project but around a veggie garden here in Minnesota. I will be going a bit shorter height though because our dog is able to keep out all the potential animal intruders. Thanks again!

Amazing video. I started the day thinking of building a T post fence.... Now after three of your videos I know I'm doing it the right way now. Only difference is I have to use 4x4 or 6x6 treated and maybe log cabin screws.. I can not get the posts like your here... plus now I have to get a post hole drill for my tractor! Oh and to save a little I'm building the gates with square tubing and expanded metal... Great video you have a new subscriber.....

Great video! I’m about to build our goat pen with utility poles I’m getting for free from our electric company. Also going to use them as raised beds.

Just thinking about the use of a tension wire for bracing as opposed to the old method of a compression timber pole brace that goes in opposite direction. With a gate hanging off that post the wire helps to keep the vertical posts and the horizontal beam clamped together tighter, were as the wooden brace method would pull apart. But if its just fencing wire on both sides I think I still prefer the good old wooden braces, also with notches on all joints to stop slipping up and down the posts. It's the old school Chippy 🔨 in me, can't beat a good mechanical joint over relying on just fastenings. 👍🏽

thank you very informative. great job.

I have found It's easier to position the cross bar then drill the holes, especially when working alone. Less work lining up pree drilled holes.

I have been looking for a video like this for a while, clean, straight to the point. When I'll do mine I was thinking about sealing the top of the post (crosscut) facing the sky with the same protective paint you used at the bottom to avoid water to stagnate in small pockets and eventually get its way into the post which with freezes may promote wood cracking. I have no experience though so don't know how strong that treated post is so I may be overthinking.

@mrpush2532

Hi, ok so most posts fail at the ground to air interface. Water itself does not rot wood. It actually PRESERVES IT! Wood rot happens from a repeated "wet-dry' cycle. When this happens the wood fibers swell and shrink and it weakens them. That is rot. OK the tops of post do rot as well and take lots of sun too. This will eventually cause too rot, but it's less likely to do anything major to the post. Most will fail at the bottom first as I stated. Painting the tops would certainly slow down the top rot. However that roof sealer will crack eventually and let water in. Maybe a better solution would be plastic caps. Like they use for piers at the seashore. They may last a lot longer. ?

Nice job, unless that end treatment allows water to escape it will build up and still rot the bottom. If you ever have removed a bad fence post ( like the ones you have )the top always rots first due to the fact that water enters the top (seal the top and forget the rest) the post is already treated also add rock to the bottom so any water drains

I never brace the corner posts. I use old FPL concrete posts for the corners and bury them 5 feet in the ground. You just put galvanized rod through holes you drill and hook the tension bar. A brush fire destroys wood posts so it's concrete and steel here. Plus the ground is mostly coral rock.
