Note all properties have level ground to install a fence. Many times they are on slopes. So the question is, can a fence be installed on a slope? The answer is yes! A knowledgable fence company can you use two main methods: stepping and racking.
The stepping method works like stairs. Each fence panel is a step higher or lower than the one next to it. This creates a neat, stepped look that follows the slope of your yard. This method is typically used with a slope larger than 30 degrees, and is a great option if you want a solid and level top on your fence. It does however leave a small gap in the bottom corner of a panel where small animals can slip through.
The racking method angles the fence panels to follow the slope of your yard closely. The top of the fence will have a smooth, continuous line, and the bottom of the fence will be the same distance from the ground for its entire length. Racking works well with both wood and metal fences.
A reliable fence company will help you decide which method suits your yard best and functions properly. With the right fence contractor, you can have a beautiful and sturdy fence that fits perfectly.
