Typical sloping-garden fencing briefs in Potters Bar
- → racked feather-edge run tracking a gentle slope without visible stagger
- → retaining sleepers under fencing to level a garden with a two-course drop to the neighbour
Why this spec, for homeowners with gardens that fall or rise across the boundary — stepped or racked builds
- stepped builds keep the fence line legally correct even where the ground doesn't cooperate
- closeboard suits stepping better than panel — no wasted panels cut to slope
- sleeper-and-fence combined lines mean one contractor for what's usually two trades
