Making Brace Post Out OF T-Post Done Cheap

In this video we continue to work on our new pig pens. We are starting the process of running our cross fences. We have several brace post that we are going to have to install. While trying to save money we found a way to pretty much do it for free. All we had to do is drill holes in two t post and use a scrap piece of wire. Although I probably wouldn't use it on a perimeter fence I believe it will work for what we are trying to accomplish.

Great idea young man I was looking for a way to keep my cows away from one round bales of hay and you just help me out I to believe that the other options online are expensive you just save me a bunch of money. Thank you very much.

Nice solution. This is just great.

Seems like using the 1 speed on your drill might wear your drill bits less. Drilling metal you want high pressure and low speed. Might not make a big enough difference to matter, but worth a try.

my friend you need to invest in some milwaukie pilot point cobalt drill bits. You'll never look back. Drilling those hardened t-posts will seem like a dream instead of a nightmare. They cut like butter. I don't use anything but cobalt. And pilot point or norse step point are the best bits.

Pause at 1:15 grind a notch in the vertical corner about 1 inch from the top. lean your angle brace right into that notch. Bam! same thing at the bottom.

I have since done that to several of the braces!

Thanks

Use a small long nut and bollt through the hole instead of the wire ..

Decent Idea-but-LOUSY EXECUTION-that tiny bold will shear right off. However modifying post top with angle grinder cutting blade will create much more contact area and larger hardware

You need to take the spade off of the bottom of the t-post that you are using as a corner post support. The spade is dangerous to you animals.
