Aluminum Fence for a sloped yard
One of the many benefits of installing an aluminum fence for a sloped yard is the flexibility it provides during installation. Each panel can flex on-site to follow the slope of your terrain…
Why Aluminum Fence Panels Are Ideal for a Sloped Yard

Aluminum fence panels are ideal for a sloped yard because they are designed to rack — meaning they can follow the contour of uneven terrain without stair-stepping. This allows for a smooth top line, better security, and easier installation across hills or rolling grades. You can configure your aluminum fence panel online for slight, medium of steep slopes. The actual racking takes place on-site, during the installation. The vertical pickets stay, well, vertical. And, the horizontal rails angle as you decide how much to “rack” the panel prior to setting the panel-to-post connection(s).
Always check your local building code for installing an aluminum fence on a slope. Here’s an example:



For racking and heavy racking, the horizontal rails are factory-routed with wider openings to allow the fence panel to shift or rack on-site during the installation process.


It’s easy to customize and order a rackable fence panel. Simply search our online store, find the fence panel of your choice and configure it for your slopes and hills.

Another option for barricading your property, which is used much more on large commercial applications, is the stair-step method. Simply mount each set of two fence panels to one post, at different heights using powder coated metal mounts and screws.
