corner post

Building edge upright

A corner post is a vertical structural support at the corner of a fence, building, or framework.

Because corners bear stress from multiple directions, corner posts are typically heavier or more deeply set than line posts: We need to replace the corner posts before restringing the fence.

In sports like boxing or wrestling, corner posts are the upright supports at each corner of the ring.
