What happens here
Install robust H-braces at strategic points (corners, ends, and long sections) along the fence line. This involves setting two vertical posts and securing a horizontal galvanized steel pipe between them. The pipes are cut to length using a portable band saw, then positioned and welded to the vertical posts using a stick welder. These H-braces are critical for absorbing the high tension of the fixed-knot wire and maintaining fence integrity.
Goal: Provide strong structural support for high-tension fence wire
