If you need to put a wooden fence, and the site is not even, then some difficulties may arise. In this case wooden fence on the slope can be installed in two ways - repeating the relief line or "steps".
Of course, installing a fence on the terrain is much easier, therefore, if the differences are not large, then this is usually done. For this, with the help of a cord and stakes, marking is carried out. First, pegs are installed in the upper and lower parts of the future fence and we pull the cord between them. Then on the cord with ribbons we mark the distances where the posts will be installed.
After marking in the marked places, holes are dug, where the poles are installed. If the supports are wooden, then we treat them with an antiseptic, and the lower part with tar. Then we level it, in the pits we make a pillow of gravel, propped up with pegs and poured with concrete.
Also, with the help of the cord, we mark the places of fastening of the veins. Between the two pillars we fix the outer crossbeam. Then on the outside we mark the contour of the pillar and saw off the next board at the mark. Then we fasten with nails and in this way we sew up all the spans.
After that, we clad with cladding boards.
If the terrain is with large level differences, then a stepped fence is installed. Of course, it looks more attractive on uneven terrain, but it takes much more time and labor. You will need to make many sections of the same height, length and width. In addition, it will be necessary to level the soil on the slopes or make additional shields to close the gaps between the fence and the ground. Particular attention should be paid to the supports, carefully aligned vertically and well fixed in the ground. Then the fence will be durable and reliable.
