Using a decorative fence in a lawn is a design challenge which demands a compromise between architecture, utility and appearance. The weapon’s purpose — whether for privacy, safety or decoration — helps determine which design is ideal for facing the problem of the incline.
Perimeter Fencing
If the primary aim of this fence is to specify the boundary without supplying safety or privacy, open ornamental styles such as vinyl fences, wrought iron fences or picket fences that imitate traditional ornamental designs are options. Assembling the fence so it accommodates the incline of the lawn will need using either fence panels or fencing panels which are able to stand to follow the contour of the floor.
Containment and Safety
As soon as an ornamental fence needs to contain pets or keep wildlife out, a gap at the base is a problem, and the gap beneath one end of stair-stepped fence panels is larger than the gap at the opposite end. The base of fence panels that are rackable follows the slope of the floor, so the gap beneath the fence is constant, making them a more secure choice. To have the ability to correct to the incline, so ornamental designs made from materials such as aluminum, aluminum and iron work this kind of fence, rackable panels need to have an open design.
Privacy
Designs, such as lattice fences, which provide privacy when they are covered with climbing vines, and shadowbox fences, which use pickets that are staggered to obstruct the view through the fence, are great choices, but they pose design difficulties in sloped lawns. Stepping the fencing panels each panel is higher or lower than the panel next to it, to adhere to the incline, is one way to adapt a privacy fence. The other choice is to get custom panels constructed to conform to the incline.
Screens and Trellises
Using a decorative fence as a display, trellis or decorative backdrop for plantings have become the role to get a fence in a lawn that is sloped, because all of the fence has been asked to do will be to look great, so any design works. If the slope is minor, installing the fence so its base is parallel to the incline might be okay, but when the slope is important, install the fencing so its perpendicular lines are plumb; mounting fence panels between posts of unequal height will allow you to achieve this.
