Claim 0:
1. A post brace bracket, comprising:
a butterfly clamp comprising:
a rib-receiving channel configured to receive a first longitudinal rib of a fence post, wherein the fence post extends along a longitudinal axis; and,
tabs extending from corresponding proximal edges of the rib-receiving channel and configured to register with a second longitudinal rib of the fence post, wherein the first longitudinal rib and the second longitudinal rib intersect in a plane orthogonal to the longitudinal axis; and,

a receiver bracket comprising:
a first wall comprising a fastening aperture configured to receive at least one stud extending from a face of the second longitudinal rib; and,
two side walls extending from opposite edges of the first wall and each comprising a coupling aperture configured to releasably couple to a lateral rail,

wherein, when the butterfly clamp and the receiver bracket are coupled together at either side of the first wall, the fastening aperture engages the at least one stud to resist translation parallel to the longitudinal axis and the rib-receiving channel engages the first longitudinal rib to resist rotation about the longitudinal axis.
