IMO your fence should generally follow the contour of the ground, with each post an equal height above grade, within a couple of inches. If you have ups & downs, ideally you should place a post at/near the high point, and also at/near the low point. You can vary your fence boards a bit to smooth transitions, but generally follow the lay of the land.
A neighbor once decided dead level "looked" better, set the height at the corner and banged it out quickly, not realizing that his 42" fence was 24" at the house

Enjoy the little things in life, and you may look back one day and realize that they were really the BIG things.

it's called racking a panel. most wood fences go up in panels. by racking it you follow the ground. the fence should flow up and over a hill.

I check in everyday and some are better than others. I don't think Brent has anything to do with the forum anymore, but I'm not sure. Hopefully as time moves on the forum will get better.
Where is everybody?
