How to level the tops on a sloping fence

slider09 · 28 Feb 2021

Hi

I’ll be fitting 19mm x 100mm fence palings to my frame work later today. Lengths of which vary as its on a slope but I want the tops to be level.

Lengths range from around just over 2m to around 3 metres across the length of the fence.

Think the easiest / quickest method is to cut the panels to the approx length, fit, then once all are fitted run a circular saw across to level? Unfortunately I don’t have a circular saw so would mean buying one just to do this.

Any other ways to ensure the tops are level?

Thanks

A spirit level would be the obvious choice !!

How much does the ground slope. How long is the fence??
A sketch would help !

Don’t worry, I can’t explain it any easier. Length of fence is irrelevant. As per my post, pailings vary from 2m to around 3m.
