FARM FENCE BRACING MADE EASY...MEET AN AWESOME 13 YEAR OLD YOUTUBER!
What happens here
To create a robust connection between the main fence post and the horizontal brace post, drill a hole into the main post at the desired height (e.g., about 2/3 up the main post). Drill another matching hole into one end of the horizontal brace post. Insert a rebar rod, approximately 4-5 inches long, into these aligned holes, driving about 2-2.5 inches into each post. This mechanical connection prevents the horizontal brace from slipping.
Goal: Securely connect the horizontal brace post to the main fence post
