For uneven terrain, determine which method you will use to install your
panels:
This fence gradually “steps” up the slope so that each
section is the same length and the rails remain level. You will need to
fill in the gap below the fence with soil. The downhill post will need to
be set taller to allow attachment of the upper rail. Taller posts may be
required. When laying out fence (STEP 2) spacing between posts
must be measured horizontally and not parallel to the ground.
2
This fence follows the grade or slope with the rails
parallel to the ground. Taller posts are not required but the horizontal
post spacing may need to be reduced to avoid rails being too short.
(Consult the chart in STEP 2 for proper spacing). Miter cut rails to fit
grade. On extreme slopes pickets may require cutting.

STEP METHOD:
SLOPING METHOD:
A fence can be easily transitioned to a different height.
Horizontal post spacing will need to be reduced (see fig.3 in STEP 2)
and top rail will need to be miter cut. Pickets will require cutting.
