Hi I have a question about a fence I'm building. It's a 60x60' square. I intend to have an h-brace on each corner. So, 8 h-braces accounting for all corners. I'm confused about the angle of the tension wire at each brace. I understand that the wire should go form the bottom of the end post (the corner post on the left side of my diagram) up to the brace post following the direction of pull. The confusion comes from the fact that I ONLY find examples of these corner h-braces in which the wire goes form the bottom of the corner post up to the brace posts on either side. But, when moving left-to-right along this diagram in the direction of pull, shouldn't the next tension wire treat the corner post on the right as the brace post? In which case my diagram here is incorrect. See the ? on the diagram for where I'm confused).

I apologize if I'm not describing this clearly, it's difficult for me to wrap my head around. I'll greatly appreciate any insight from the community.

Thank you.

(I do have a follow up question, but I'll wait until I get this resolved)
