hope someone can help me, I am replacing an old split rail fence, post were set 10 ft apart, We live on a mountain so I put in 1/2 round in the same hole, so I didnot have to deal with a big machine, knowing of the waste. Figured I could use the left over to face the other side Maybe. BUT my ??? is the small area of 200+ feet is on a gradual hill, So do I make the boards horizonal to the ground or true level.??? This is sorta what I was thinking, when I looked at our other fences I took a stick and marked the spacing of the 3 wooden boards, then went over to the new post-put the bottom of the stick on the ground and marked the post. Next I ran a string to each one. It goes uphill gradually. It looks like all the boards would be the same distance off the ground. But when i put a string level on it the level bubble is on the upper side ( up hill side) cause of the gradual grade of the hill.
AM I completly wrong or will this look bad as the boards are not true level( I don't know if I have said it correctly) as this is in front of our home near the road. It does not hold in any animals, just decorative to match the rest of the 5 acres we have fenced. I dont know how they did it and we are trying to do it ourselves without playing Pete & Repete.
Please help us.
