So you've really never built a fence with wood corner posts it appears...


Actually built miles of 5 strand barbed wire with bigass hedge posts for corners/braces with 2” pipe and #9 smooth tying them together with every tenth post a 4” hedge line post.

The discrepancy was not following the OPs chicken run as going to be a fence under tension as opposed to just some sort of lean too off his back shed.
