The topography tip where the brace rail blends with the contour is money. I've seen many that don't do this and it looks weird. Tks

For a 7 or 6 wire fence the professional fencing contractors and myself included here in southern Australia use a 10’ minimum top brace, but usually no more than 12’. A double brace is used on any thing over a 4’ high fence.

Nice! We do have some contractors here that use 10ft horizontal braces as their standard. It's a good standard to set and looks stout.
