In this episode of Tough GRIT, two strong women battle to build beefy braces and hang level gates.

Fence failures are common, and most of time they are caused by a corner or end post being pulled from the ground by the tension of the wires themselves. Well-braced fence ends and corners may not seem like rocket science, but you need to consider a little physics or follow expert advice to get them right. Learn more in this episode of Tough GRIT.
