How do I install a brace and truss with top tension wire?

When using top tension wire in lieu of top rail, you will locate the brace rail one foot below the height of the fence. It is absolutely critical that you pre-tension the brace and truss to where it begins to pull the terminal post slightly out-of-plumb. Top tension wire places a significant amount of tension on the terminal post so do not attempt to tension the truss rod after stretching the top tension wire and fabric.
