When building barbed wire or high tensile fences the H post is the single most important aspect of the fence. It offers all the support and handles a lot of force.
My concern was the twitch sticks used when making the brace support. Many times as the fence gets older the twitch stick falls out due to animals playing with it or just over time. Once it falls out all the tension is released and the H post loses it strength. You can wrap the twitch with some wire but you almost never see anyone do that.
I wanted to come up with a better way to tension the brace wire which doesn't require a twitch stick. I have seen where others wrap the brace wire then remove he twitch stick which just looks like problems in the long term.
I hope my idea works out long term. If not at least I am trying something different and I will continue to learn and figure out a better solution for this problem. I haven't been able to find much online with Building an H Post without a twitch stick. If you have any ideas or input on why it may or might not work please leave a comment below.
