  Do you need a fence installed on uneven ground? If yes, this article will help you successfully accomplish this installation by providing information on how to install a fence on uneven ground. Get started now.

  Most fences (excluding panel fencing) can be safely and properly installed on uneven ground through contour fence construction. The rails of the fence should follow your property using the contour method, no matter if the ground goes up or down. The task is moderately easy.

  To install a fence on uneven land, you will need the following items:

  Ø      A tape measure

  Ø      Measuring wheel

  Ø      Hammer

  Ø      Mattock

  Ø      Ball of twine

  Ø      Post hole digger

  Ø      Shovel

  Ø      Level

  Ø      Pine or plastic stakes

  Ø      Iron tamping rod

  Ø      Nails

  Ø      Fence rails/planks

  Ø      Saw

  Ø      8-foot-tall wooden fence posts

  The planks that will be used for fence rails will need to be measured. The rails should be nailed to the middle of the fence posts. Next, the fence line needs to be setup. You should use a measuring wheel to install the fence. Be sure to inspect the straightness of the line as you install the fence.

  Afterwards, stakes should be replaced with post-holes. Use a mattock to dig the pits of the hole. Once this task is completed set the fence posts and determine where you want to place the rails on your post.

  Nail the top and bottom rails to the center-line of the first post and keep proceeding until all posts are nailed from top to bottom.

  Remember to follow the contours of the ground by always nailing the fence rails and follow the contours of the ground by nailing the fence rails in the same positions on the fence rails.

  Following our appearance on HGTV’s “Curb Appeal,” we participated in another home restoration but for a different kind of home.  We worked with ABC’s “Extreme Makeover:  Home Edition” on the after-school home for underserved children in northeastern Washington, DC: The Fishing School.

  The school serves children from 6-12 years old with after-school and summer enrichment programs that improve their academic performance and helps them avoid the dangers present in their neighborhoods.  It’s an inspiring institution that we were only too happy to help.

  “Extreme Makeover: Home Edition” and Burch Builders teamed up to create a state-of-the-art facility for the Fishing School and its students.  We were honored to be asked to install fencing for the property.  We used a combination of metal picket and wood fencing to offer privacy and protection while maintaining a friendly environment for young minds to grow and develop.

  All the contractors who participated in the project, including Hercules Fence, donated their time and materials.  It was an easy contribution to make given the good work that the school does in the community.  The episode aired in February, but you can view our video of the project as well as find out how you can make a donation to the Fishing School by clicking here.
