Reply:How well H-brackets work kinda depends on what part of the world you're in. They are used everywhere around here on top of the caprock. Cement them in this caliche rock and they are there short of a big winch truck or a cat. If all you have is dirt to set them in then it's a different deal and you need the angle braces.
