Will this fence rack?

Racking refers to the ability of the fence to smoothly follow the contour of the land.  An alternative method to racking is called stair-stepping: installing the panels stair-step fashion throughout the project.  Either method results in a beautiful finished project when installed properly.

We can expand the routing holes on any/all of the rails of a fence panel. Expanding the routs allows the product to rack along limited pitches in line with the terrain.  A tip: Southern does not recommend racking a scalloped fence system.  The smooth look of a scalloped fence distorts when racked. We can do it. You may not be happy with the result.

If you can provide Southern the slope/grade of the land you are working on, our Customer Service team can assist you with whether or not we can create a fence system that racks and is aesthetically pleasing.  We also can recommend the correct size of the expanded routs to meet your project's needs.
