Step 2: Building End, Gate & Corner Brace Assemblies

Please remember this is the foundation of your fence, so the extra time and construction on this step will

result in a Safer and Stronger fence that Last Longer.

The following diagrams illustrate the various end, gate and corner brace assemblies that is recommended

for installation. The horizontal/diagonal brace and the 5-post corner are the strongest and safest of each

assembly type.

NOTES (These notes apply to all brace assemblies):

1. The depth of concrete may vary to frost lines in your area. Consult local codes for details

to ensure that depth of concrete is below frost line*.

2. Lean post 1/2” - 1” away from direction of pull.

3. We recommend to auger a 12” diameter hole minimum with a 18”- 22” bell at bottom of hole. Depth

is determined by frost line depth in your area.

4. In sandy soils we recommend to auger a 12” diameter hole, 4’ - 5’ deep with a 22” bell diameter.

FENCE TIP: Post depth will always increase strength.
