![]() INSTALLATION with a POST DRIVER and FENCING PLIERS Turns T-Posts into Fence Braces...Fits all U.S., Canadian & Mexican steel T-Posts... IMPORTANT Follow these instructions for best results. Choose the type of bracing system you need (in-line or corner brace) ***BE SURE ALL POSTS ARE IN LINE & SQUARED UP*** | |||

![]() NOTE: For Canadian T-Posts without lugs on the front of the post...use 1/4" bolt to secure. |

Use 7' or 8' T-Post in corners, drive in 2' - 3' so post is in ground same as wood post. (If 7' or 8' T-posts are unavailable you can drive two posts back to back with one post deeper.) |
![]() |
If T-post turns in the ground causing misalignment, take a pipe wrench and connect to T-post at ground level. Then slowly twist T-post back into proper alignment. |

For heavy pulls, use a diagonal brace wire (opposite direction of brace) and tie the brace post to brace wire where they cross in center. |
![]() |
Install bottom wire first. For additional strength use cross wires. |
![]() |
On main corner & end posts, wrap wires alternately, first one direction, next the other direction, to prevent post from twisting. |
![]() |
On the brace T-post, remove spade with hammer. To adjust tension on brace if it's too loose or tight, tap one or the other up-right post deeper into the ground. |
![]() |
For strength and stability when using horizontal brace follow with a diagonal brace. T-posts will lean when wire is stretched with only a horizontal brace. |
![]() IF NEEDED: This will give
you a longer post in the ground, for use mainly if 7-8' posts are
not available or if your soil is extremely loose. For more strength
in the corners, double posts by putting T-Posts back to back, as shown in
diagram, wire together with one post higher to hold collar for Wedge-loc
bracing system. |
