NO BRACE END POST

A no brace end, gate or corner post for tensioned fence

materials for horses, such as Horserail

This is a single post end but it needs the following….

Essential conditions and materials for this to work.

Soil conditions that allows you to auger up to 7.5

(2.29m)

deep by 16˝

(406mm)

diameter hole,

less if it is super stable, rocky conditions.

Having an auger with rock teeth and an extension that has down pressure and can drill that deep.

Or finding a contractor that has the equipment to drill such a hole at a fair price.

Having access to 10˝ – 12˝ x 12

(254mm – 305mm x 3.66m)

treated poles

(even used.)

Making sure

to coat the exposed cut surface with roofing sealer material.

Suitability of used poles can be determined

by density and sound when hit with a hammer as to how solid they are.

Making up or having access to a 10

(3.05m)

long handled tamping bar

(rammer)

and a utility scoop shovel

for cleaning bottom of hole.

Willing to mix up the ingredients to make the equivalent of 5 bags of dry concrete mix (321)*, or purchase

same, for each hole, 1 bag in the bottom, then soil tamped tightly in small increments to within 36˝

(914mm)

of the ground line, more dry concrete mix tamped tight to within 6˝

(152mm)

, finish out with sod. Allow soil

moisture to set up, and don’t final tension fence until it has set.

With the above you have the capacity to build yourself a one post end that can handle a tensioned Horserail

fence without bracing, giving you “a clean board look.”

When this is not practical to build then the standard single brace assembly with a top horizontal

of 10

(3.05m)

and a covered Safe-T-Brace Cable

kit will be more than strong enough –

especially if an HD post driver is used.

When that is not an option, one can auger a 3.5

minimum x 16˝

(1.07m - min. x 406mm)

hole and use concrete to set the posts.

Detailed information available on www.horserail.com.

* Note: Dry concrete mix is considered porous, allows water to escape,

treated posts last longer.

! In softer soils - use a buried breast-block or a flat face for the concrete

! Lean post 1˝ (25mm) against pull of fence

Just – buckle it up!
