Why this spec, for homeowners with gardens that fall or rise across the boundary — stepped or racked builds

- 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
Where sloping-garden fencing isn't the right answer
- — very steep sites where a proper retaining wall (brick or concrete) is the right answer before any fence goes on top
- — green-belt frontages where visible sleeper retaining isn't allowed
