This will generally be the most complex part of any installation. Please take the time to draw it out on a
piece of paper before setting any posts in the ground. Having to remove posts that are concreted in can
be very disheartening! And remember we are always here to help you get it right, so if you are unsure
please ask.
There are three methods for dealing with sloping ground. The examples below are based around an
1800mm high wall.
Method 1 – Stepping the bottom of your panels & maintaining a minimum 1800mm wall height.
Note - This will leave a void/gap under one end of your wall panels.
Method 2 – Raking/cutting the base panel & maintaining a maximum 1800mm wall height.
Note - This will leave no void/gap under your wall panels but will reduce your wall height at
one end.
Method 3 – Raking/cutting the base & maintaining a minimum 1800mm wall height at one end and a
taller wall height at the low end of the slope.
Note - This will leave no void/gap under your wall panels but will increase your wall height at
the lower end of the slope above 1800mm. A wider base panel is required for this method and
as such should be a consideration at the time of ordering.
As pictured below it should be noted that you will be left with a void at the low end of the slope but you
will maintain a minimum 1800mm wall height. In most cases on gradual slopes this void won’t be large
and can either be left as is or planted in front of.
