So most people suggest that for goats, the fence goes on the same side of the posts as the goats do. That’s great, but then how do you stretch the fence when you use corner braces like the ones attached?

I know how you’d stretch them on the outside, but not how to stretch them on the Inside because the corner braces would block you from pulling past the corner braces.

Do you lay the wire on the inside goat side of the t posts but then stretch it on the outside corner brace side?

(I’m using square deal redbrand goat fence)

I am the person who built our goat fence with the help of two helpers.  That was so long ago I do not remember how we stretched it.

Here are some videos that might help:
