When the grades slopes more dramatically, the bottom horizontal rail can be parallel to the slope, with the rest of the panel square and plumb. When the grades slopes even more, such as down an embankment, the entire Wood Fence Panel is 'Racked', where we see all the horizontal rails parallel with the sloping grade. This is shown below in Style 2-1

Garden Fence  #2-1

wood fence Long Country Wood Fence.  Height: 48-inches

This Garden Fence Design is essentially identical to style #1.  We employ a number of varying modifications and transitions to the grade throughout the property. When a Fence is designed to flank a walkway, as here, it is always best to maintain a fence height between 36" - 42".

Featuring the Cantilevered Corner in foreground.

Garden Fencing on a Slope:

Discovering the exact angle of a sloping grade, to the degree, requires returning to old trigonometry textbooks...calculating co-sines.
  You will need to provide:
1) The level run measurement (so, a level line the distance of the entire slope.  This line begins at the high end on the grade.)
2) The rise. (so, a straight-edge at the bottom from the grade to where it intersects with the level line above.  This distance from the grade to the level line.
3) We will take care of the trigonometry.


Price for 'Racked' panels: Base + 13%

Garden Fence  #2-2

wood fence Stepped Fence Panels

Fence #2-2 drawn to a subtle slope in the grade.  Each panel dropping incrementally.   This is easily accomplished by setting a stringline to the desired height on the high end and again to the same height from the grade on the low post, and where the string intersects each post is where the top corner of that particular panel is set. This way you insured of stepping at exactly the same increments evenly across your layout.
