Posts should be set a minimum of 3 feet into the soil. In areas where the ground does
freeze, posts must be set to extend below the frost line. Failure to do so may cause your
posts to shift, allowing the tension on the Braid
™
to relax. In loose soil conditions such
as sand or mud, consider cementing your posts or driving them deeper. Please check
with your county office or contractor to determine the local frost line or possible special
bracing needs based on your specific soil or geographic area.
H-Brace
For most installations, we recommend a style known as the Horizontal or H-Brace. After
setting your corner post, end post or gate posts in the ground at the proper depth for
your soil conditions, measure 8’ down the fence line to locate where to place your brace
post. Once it is securely placed, set your horizontal rail halfway between the planned
location of your top two strands of Braid
™
(see diagram). Drive a brace pin through the
back of the posts and into the horizontal rail. Leave the spike to protrude ½” at the back
of the brace post to hold the brace wire. The brace pin should go through the brace post
and penetrate at least 3” -4” into the horizontal rail.
If your corner, end or gate post is large in diameter, you may want to pre-drill a hole for
the brace pin through the post and into the end of the rail.
