so i planned on using some sort of bracket so i could just slip the cross brace for the fence right into it.. that way i didnt have to drill holes through it (more work when limited on time for load in).. anyways. i bought hardware after hardware to try to figure something out.. and in the end.. i didnt have to spend any money after all because i ended up using scrap wood to make them.. sigh* im sure ill use the hardware somewhere else..
