Step 1: Determine Install Method
1. Step Method: This
method gradually “steps”
up the slope and the rails
remain level. This may
leave gaps under the fence.
The downhill post will need
to be set taller. Longer
posts may be required.
When laying out the fence
post spacin measure on a level line from one post to
another.
2.
Following thede:
This method follows the
grade or slope with the
rails parallel to the
ground. The post spacing
may need to be reduced
to avoid rails being too
short because of the angle.
3.
The fence can
dirent height.
Post spacing will need to be
reduced. Pickets will need
to be cut to height.
