Stepping vs Racking
Use blank posts and install u-mount rail brackets on both sides of the posts.
1. Steeper inclines may require longer posts.
2. If installing with u-mount rail brackets, the rails will need to be shortened since they will not be
inserted into the posts.
3. Install one panel and one post at a time.
The Stepping Installation Method
Each individual fence style is able to accommodate a defined degree of slope (x inches over x feet). While most yards
are fairly level and allow for normal installation, prior to purchasing your fence, be sure to run a string line to
determine the slope of your yard. After determining the slope of your yard, check the spec diagram for your specific
style of fence to ensure that it can accommodate the required slope.
If you have inclines steeper than the slope allowed for you specific fence style, stepping the fence may be the best
method of installation. You must determine the method of installation before purchasing as the installation method
will impact the materials required to complete your project. There are several options when installing using the
stepping method:
Option 1
Use end posts in place of line posts and install u-mount rail brackets of the blank side of the posts
at the required height.
IMPORTANT TIPS:
Use end posts in place of line posts and cut the holes in the blank side of the post (we recommend using
a rotozip or dremel tool.
