[QUOTE="Bright Raven, post: 1508024, member: 27490"] Angles or curves? Braces distribute force in a change of direction. Curves, not so. In example, an end post at the vertex of an angle with two braces anchored by brace posts on a 120 degree change of direction distributes the force between 3 posts assuming the brace wire is appropriately employed. The strongest geometric figure in construction is the Triangle. What a braced vertex post does is create two triangles on both sides of a vertex post by splitting the squares created by the three vertical posts in a double brace into 4 triangles. The brace wire forms the hypotenuse of the triangles. [/QUOTE]
