Base mount or in ground
- Base mount: posts with a base plate bolt down onto concrete or pavers laid over concrete.
- In ground: longer posts set into concrete footings in soil or lawn.
You choose the mount for each section in the calculator.
Slopes and steps
On a gentle slope the panels step down. Where a section runs down a slope, add a raked panel: it has an angled top edge so the fence follows the ground while staying compliant. Raked panels always go at the end of a section.
A small spa enclosure
Flat Top is the simplest way to fence a spa. Our spa fence builder starts with a typical small enclosure already selected.
