corner posts

Boundary marker supports

Corner posts are the vertical supports placed at the corners of a structure—a fence, building frame, deck, or boxing ring.

Because corners bear stress from multiple directions, corner posts are typically heavier or more deeply set than intermediate posts: We sank the corner posts three feet deep and braced them with concrete.
