If you have ever raised any animals, even pets, then you know the panic that comes when they get out. A recent experience reiterated the importance of knowing how to build an h-brace fencing system for animals that is pretty indestructible. Until this past year, we had never dealt with any major escapes from our homestead. But, this year, our fences were due to be upgraded. And, we had a group of young steers in the barnyard (definitely a recipe for disaster).
Some howling Coyotes spooked them around 2am one morning, and they ended up going right through the fence and down the road to the neighbors farm. We did not realize they were gone until about 4am. It took us over 2 hours to get them back, only to realize that we were still missing 2 of them. Dad found one of the steers meandering along the river bank the next day. And, the second one ran free for about 2 weeks before we enticed it back. Needless to say, the fencing project became our top priority after that. This time, we tried a new design for our Corner Post and H-Brace Assemblies. We have been very pleased with the design. So, we would like to show you how to build an h-brace fencing system for animals. This design is very strong and simple to make.
