Let's see if I can explain this in an understandable way ...
I need to fence in a small area of my back yard for my dog and I'm planning to use t posts and 4' field fence, using Wedge Loc brace sets. I want it to be built correctly, but I've never built a fence so I'm relying on Google and Youtube for most of the how-to.
Two corners of the yard will be formed by the fence meeting the back of my house at a 90 degree angle. I'll drive a post into the ground as close to the house as I can get it. The next corner will be about 30' away with a 4' wide light-duty gate in the middle.
Here are my questions:

Here are my questions:
- Since the end of the fence that intersects the back wall of my house isn't a corner post (its essentially an inline end to the fence line), I"m not sure about the proper bracing. Is an N brace or an H brace best in this case?
- Will the posts that hold the gate need extra bracing? If so, what kind?
