I work here in Georgia and most commonly when I build a fence, the land is very uneven. So everyone always wants to know how much more it’s going to cost to have to build the fence on the slope. Because of the way I build my wood fence, it takes right at the same amount of work, so I tell them “nothing”. Anyway, building a wood picket fence like this allows the pickets to stay tight to the ground and makes for a much more secure fence. While most of my fences require building them on a slope, this one was on a very steep incline, so I wanted to share it. Here are more pictures of this picket fence

Nice lookin fence! Fence Salesman myself….....don’t put too many in, but the way we build our wood fences makes it easy to go up and down hills. IMO a straight level section of fence, stepping down to another straight level section, etc, etc…....RARELY looks good.

Good to meet someone else in fencing. Not sure of the style of post cap. I consider them my standard wood 6×6 caps. We get them from Universal Forest Products. How’s the fencing going up in MI?

Brent-
I am about to build a garden fence. The plan is to use cedar post, into pea gravel holes (instead of concrete).
Two questions:
If I use cedar posts should I seal the bottoms with anything?
Is gravel sufficient and how deep should I dig.
We are in the northeast, with frost heaves. My yard is all clay
Advice is appreciated!

That’s some nice looking work there, sir. I put up a small section of fencing a few years ago – I”m just proud that it’s still standing and that the doors still swing nice and level!!
