Fencing timber and sleepers for Sheffield's hills
Sheffield is built on seven hills, and plenty of its gardens slope sharply. Stepped fences and sleeper terraces are part of everyday garden work here.

Fencing on a slope
On streets in Walkley, Crookes and Meersbrook, back gardens often fall away from the house. Fence bays step down with the ground, and the posts at each step need extra height, which is where a 3m post earns its place.
Sleepers laid as low walls turn a slope into usable level beds and seating areas, and short 1.2m lengths make simple steps between them.

Questions
How much longer should posts be on a slope?
Add the height of each step to the usual length. For a 1.8m fence stepping 300mm per bay, a 3m post leaves room to spare.
