Can fence follow a downhill slope?
Most of our standard aluminum fence sections can follow the contour of the ground. This is called either raking or racking. The fences drop about one foot over the 6′ length of a section. If a greater slope is needed, sections can be specially fabricated as “double-punched sections” allowing up to 20 of slope over a 6 span. Not all styles can be raked so stepping is required. See diagram of Rake & Step…
Most of our standard aluminum fence sections can follow the contour of the ground. This is called either raking or racking. The fences drop about one foot over the 6′ length of a section. If a greater slope is needed, sections can be specially fabricated as “double-punched sections” to traverse a 45 degree angle. Patriot Fence and Regency “Plus” styles can not rake at all, while Concord, Lexington, and 400 Series fence can only rake about 6 inches over their length. See diagram of Rake & Step.
