Hi Mark, No worries, happy to help out! Starting fencing on your own can seem daunting, but with some basic tips, you'll be on the right track. Here are some general guidelines: Planning: Measure and map out the area you need to fence. Determine the type of stock you’re containing and choose appropriate materials. Tools and Materials: Ensure you have all the necessary tools (post knocker, wire strainers, etc.) and materials (posts, wire, staples). Post Placement: Space your posts evenly (typically 8-12 feet apart). Use a string line to keep them straight. Setting Posts: Use your Bryce post knocker to drive the posts deep enough for stability. Corner posts need to be particularly strong. Bracing: Install H braces at corners and gates to add strength. Ensure the horizontal brace is secure and level. Wire Tensioning: Attach and tension the wire properly. Start from one end and work your way to the other, maintaining consistent tension. For more detailed guidance, check out KKR Fencing & Outdoor Services. They have some great resources. Best of luck with your fencing project! Feel free to ask if you have more questions. Cheers, Kenr Reyes

Hey everyone! Regarding the debate on the horizontal post in a Box End Assembly (H Brace) needing to be 2.5 times the fence height, here's a quick rundown: Fact: This length is recommended to distribute tension evenly and provide stability. The longer post helps counteract the forces exerted by the tensioned wires, ensuring the fence remains upright and durable. For more detailed insights, check out KKR Fencing & Outdoor Services. They have lots of expertise in building sturdy fences. Hope this helps! What are your thoughts or experiences?

Hello guys. New member to the group. My name is Luke and I live in West Somerset. I have been fencing for 15 years and have come up with a new type of fence post. We will be reinforcing wooden posts with a GRP sleeve fully bonded to any size or shape post. The sleeve will prevent rotting and snapping at ground level. It is resistant to strimmer line and cannot be cut or broken unlike similar products on the market. Our posts can be driven in to the ground with post driver. I currently have a UK patent pending for the product and would really appreciate your views. thanks Luke

In my experience on a box end the key is to have as low of any angle as possible on the brace wire.   Keeping the brace 2.5 times the fence height and no higher than 1/2 to 2/3 the height will provide a lower angle.   A high short brace will leverage the king post out of the ground.
