Claim 21:
22. The fence bracing rail of claim 21, further comprising:
a first rail extending along a first longitudinal axis and comprising:
a first aperture at a distal end; and,
a first plurality of apertures in a wall of the first rail distributed along at least a portion of the first rail in a first line substantially parallel to the first longitudinal axis; and,

a second rail extending along a second longitudinal axis and comprising:
a second aperture at a distal end; and,
a second plurality of apertures in a wall of the second rail distributed along at least a portion of the second rail in a second line substantially parallel to the second longitudinal axis,

wherein:
the first rail and the second rail are configured such that, when the first rail and the second rail are brought into register such that the first longitudinal axis and the second longitudinal axis are substantially aligned, and at least one coupling member passes through at least one of the first plurality of apertures and at least one of the second plurality of apertures to couple the first rail to the second rail, then the first rail and the second rail are coupled into a field-adjustable bracing rail wherein the distal end of the first rail and the distal end of the second rail form opposite ends of the field-adjustable bracing rail, and
the field-adjustable bracing rail is configured to be coupled to a first post by the first aperture and a second post by the second aperture such that the field-adjustable bracing rail resists compressive force induced by motion of the first post and the second post towards each other.
