| A Straight Fence means the top of the fence is kept even despite the gaps that may develop under the fence as the grade of the land changes. |
 |
| With a Stepped Fence each panel is level, but is installed higher or lower in an effort to deal with changes in grade. This helps to reduce gaps that appear under the fence. |
 |
| With a Sloped Fence the panels are angled to generally follow the grade. This helps to reduce gaps under the fence. Note that for a Sloped fence the top of the fence changes at the same angle as the bottom. |
 |
| A Custom Contoured Fence is tailored specifically for your yard. The top of the fence stays level and the bottom is custom cut to generally follow the grade of the land. This is a very popular option for pet owners. Note that a Custom Contoured fence can still have a Straight or Stepped top. |
