With this fence, we were faced with several design challenges.  The previous fence was a mismatch of sloping sections that also stepped down making for a fence that was less than aesthetically pleasing!  The homeowner asked that we do our best to not slope the panels as they didn’t like the look of it and with a slope as steep as this one we agreed it should definitely be stepped not sloped.  The issue was the right-hand section had to drop at least 3-4feet over only a 6-foot span which would be a huge step-down and would look really odd.  To overcome this issue we split the normal 8-foot section into 2 four foot sections and stepped each one down.  The result as you can see in the pictures turned out great!
