Installing fence sections on
uneven terrain:
|
| The pictures to the right depict both
"raking" (top) and "stair-stepping" (bottom). Our vinyl fences fall
into three major categories. Privacy (solid) styles like the Chesterfield pictured here,
ornamental styles, post and rail, and picket styles. Their ability to rake is most
difficult in that order. In addition, for sharp raking, the pre-routed holes in the posts
may need enlarged on their heights to allow the rails to slide in at the additional angle.
This can be done with a coarse file. Here is a chart that shows raking limitations we
would call "natural" raking ability. These are the limits of the materials
without a lot of fuss. Angles 35 degrees or more are possible with special posts and
cutting. When installing sections to stair step, order end posts instead of line posts so
you can cut the second side on site for a custom fit.
