A post footing bracing and spacing apparatus for accurately holding a post or plurality of posts in alignment. The apparatus is preferably used in the construction of fences composed of preformed materials where precise alignment and distance between posts is critical. The apparatus consists of a plurality of clamps and spacing bars. The clamps are designed to snugly abut preformed posts of various dimensions. A first clamp lies upon the ground above a dughole and holds a preformed pole in place in the dughole. At least a second clamp is attached further up the post. Accurate spacing and steadying is provided by a spacing bar which attaches or snugs up to the clamps. The spacing bars communicate with at least another post and clamp assembly, and precise placement of poles in linear arrangement is accomplished. After the assembly is secured, application of permanent footing material, such as poured concrete, can be accomplished without disturbing alignment of the poles. After the permanent footing has solidified, the clamps and spacers are removed and the posts are fixed in accurate alignment both vertically and between each other.
