Key takeaways
- Racked panels tilt to follow the slope
- Stepped panels drop in level steps
- Posts on slopes are set deeper
- Gates may need extra clearance
A slope changes how a fence is built, not whether it can be built.
Racked
Racked panels tilt with the ground for a smooth, angled line.
Stepped
Stepped panels stay level and drop in steps, which suits steeper ground and leaves small gaps that are filled in.
Posts and gates
Posts on slopes carry more load, so they are set deeper, and gates need extra clearance on the uphill side.
