As you can imagine, building a fence up the side of a mountain would be considerably more difficult than a flat, stable field.  The efforts may be increased, but the project can be done.  The method most commonly used for this situation is called “contour construction”, where the fence is built to follow the contours of fluctuating elevation. Most fence types have little trouble conforming to the techniques of the contour method. It takes good planning, measurements, and materials to make the process a relatively simple one.

Another method that can be used on uneven terrain is the “stepped” method.  Instead of your fence aligning itself with the slope of the ground, your fence is constructed in segments that go down in steps.  The posts of the fence are level, while in the contour method they may be angled downward.  No matter what method you choose, it is imperative that the work done is accurate and done with careful attention to detail.  It would be disappointing to have a section of the fence off kilter and sagging because of lack of planning, throwing off the  aesthetic of the entire project.

You finally have a beautiful, new wooden fence in your backyard, but perhaps it’s looking a bit plain.  Not only is painting your fence a great way to add to the décor and theme of your backyard, but it’s also a unique opportunity to do some work outside with the family and have fun doing it.  Painting a fence doesn’t have to be a tedious or dreadful experience.  Plan first what color fence would work well with its surroundings (nothing too zany, you don’t want your neighbors to get on your case).

One important thing to remember is not to skimp financially on your project. You should purchase only quality paint and brushes-you’ll probably be happier with the results in the long run. After you figure out what kind of paint you’d like to use and how much of it to get, there are some things to consider about painting your fence properly, especially
with the weather conditions in Florida.

-Make sure you give the fence a quick sanding to remove any dust and dirt
-Choose a good primer to use before painting the fence.  This could help especially in more adverse weather conditions. Also aids with the painting process.
-In Florida, the heat may dry your paint too quickly.  Find an optimal time of day for your work.

Keeping these points in mind, with the general process of painting a fence, will ensure your endeavor goes smoothly.  For a great fence that you can’t wait to apply your brushstrokes to, contact Paramount Fencing today!
