What happens here

After driving the main fence posts, construct braces (specifically 'rantz braces' as shown) where needed, typically at ends and corners, to provide structural support against the tension of the wire. This involves notching the vertical posts using a Milwaukee oscillating multi-tool to create a snug fit for horizontal brace pieces, ensuring maximum stability.

Goal: Add structural integrity to the fence against wire tension.

Tools and materials

  • Horizontal Brace Members — Horizontal components of the brace
  • Shovel — Digging small depressions for brace placement
  • Wooden Posts Madison Wood — Vertical components of the brace
