stockade fence on hill

[jkmd13]

I am installing a stockade fence that goes up hill . Does anyone have hints on how to go about this ?

The hill slopes for 30 feet and has a 6 foot height difference from top to bottom!

Any and all advice is greatly appreciated.

Stick-build the fence. Do not try to use premade panels on hilly ground. Install the posts. Then install 3 stringers between each pair of posts following the slope of the ground. Nail or screw the vertical boards to the stringers. The top stringer should be about 6 inches below the top of the vertical boards and the bottom stringer about 6 inches above the ground. Keep the posts vertical. Use a short level in the vertical position to mark the end cut on the stringers. Good luck with your project.

30 inches deep in concrete.

make your holes at least 6 in deeper than you need then place 6 in of gravel in the bottom of the hole. Place the posts on the gravel and pour concrete around them. the gravel will help to drain water from around the posts and keep them from rotting so quick. i did this with mine and most of my posts are over 20 years old.
