Establish String Line for Fence Alignment

What happens here

Once your corner posts are set, run a taut string line from the top of one corner post to the top of the other. Attach the string using clamps for tension. This string line serves as a guide for the top of your fence panels. If your terrain has a slope, you can give the string line some slack to match the grade. Then, use a tape measure to measure down from the string line at each intermediate post location. Adjust the height of the intermediate posts until they align with the measured distance from the string line, ensuring a consistent and aesthetically pleasing top line for your fence.

Goal: Ensure all fence posts are aligned correctly, both horizontally and vertically, especially on sloped grades.
