Squaring up your Fence!

          The easiest way to ensure you have a relatively square fence is using the 3-4-5 Geometrical method. I say relatively square because squareness is a matter of degree. What we might call a pretty square job in a back yard fence, a NASA engineer might not recognize as square at all. However utilizing the 3-4-5 method will get us a pretty close to a 90 degree square corner job that will meet the normal fence building standards.

       
        The old A + B = C  or  3' + 4' = 5'


                                                                                                                                                                                       
        If you remember from school a triangle has 3 sides, 2 are equal and the 3rd side is longer than the other and called a Hypotenuse. It is opposite the side that is a 90 degree right angle. To use the triangle method to square a fence corner follow the diagram below.
