Rebar or long big nails in horizontal brace or your brace will be on ground in a few years. If brace wire get loose, the brace won’t fall out.

Thank you for posting this. I was really expecting to see some negative comments from the old school farmers being that you didn't use pins. I need to make a small goat pen and this method seems like it will work just fine and will also require less of an investment in tools. Thanks!

The is the easiest and fastest way to do it. I have watched a dozen other methods on KZread and nobody else has a method this simple and the fewest amount of tools. I did it myself without a second set of hands or feet and it worked out great. Kudos to your daughter for being out there with you.

Your wife Sophie was AWESOME for helping, and staying quiet.

Thank you. Your daughter is awesome 👏

Why didn’t you level the cross piece?

Loved this. Finally a way to do this simply! I am building a shorter fence in my back yard to keep out dear and elk. Now I can do it WITHOUT needing all the extra tools such as drill bits, crimping tools and the like! !

Just from watching it seems like drilling a 3/8 hole and using brace pins would be a whole lot easier and more reliable. At least that’s how I do it.

SO much easier than anything else I've seen on KZread. Now if I can just find the receipt to return all my 10 in pins, etc..

In the past I haven't used pins but rather 8-10 inch large lag screws (with the hex head) and drive those in to each end.

Thank you so much there are several videos but none are right this is the way I was taught, a great refresher course. You’re the man

Thank you Tim Rogers and thanks to your daughter. This absolutely worked great for me!

Best & easiest video on H-brace. Thanks

That was a great job. I learned a lot and will do it your way. Thank you.

Wow you made that look so easy. Easiest I've seen yet. Thanks!

Thank you both I think I'm going to use this method because it looks easier and less expensive tools.

This was very well done, both of you. Easy to follow

Wow, this was super helpful. Thanks!

Great video and easy tips..starting a new fence this weekend..thank you

Awesome 👍...I do it similar except I use 6" structural screws ...one per side... And a piece of rebar to wind the wire..the rebar is permanent and I use the winding tension to hold it in place...if that makes sense
