English term or phrase: counter-post method
in fence construction, describing the difference between two methods:

Bracing is imperative for every fence – it’s required at both ends and for any considerable change of direction or angle in the fence, vertically or horizontally. In contrast to the laborious counter-post method - much harder work all round and susceptible to movement depending on ground conditions – this tried-and-tested technique is the far superior option.

Reference information:
I am hard put to find any UK site with "counter-posts". Could these be "braces" (i.e. supports)?

Fences typically consist of upright fence posts, braces, which support the upright fence posts, and barbed wire strung between the posts. ...

But wait a minute

Braces

could still be

counter-posts

i.e.

posts that are at 45 degrees to the fence post in order to provide support

I hope you understand my meaning - I have never built a fence in my life!
