It’s always good to plan prior to doing anything. This is very relevant in the case of building a fence – and these are some items to think about:
Planning Fence Line
• Mow or clear the fence row – this gives you a clean canvas to build the fence and will help obtain a smooth, flowing fence line.
• We suggest that you get stakes and mark out where you want ends, corners and gateways. Walk around for a few days using the gate openings to see if the plan works for your everyday usage. Measure-up, draw a rough sketch and write down the measurements.
Dealing With Undulating Terrain
Experienced installers believe that the limit of elevation change is 2 degrees per post without the need of a change of angle. To minimize this problem, you should consider all of these points:
• Closer post spacing assists in handling dips and rises.
• Adjust post height – placing them deeper in the ground on a rise and shallower in hollows.
• If possible – Bulldoze the fence line, prior to construction, to flatten and minimize the number of dips and rises.
