    Building a dog run, need help.

    I am going to be constructing a dog run this coming weekend, have a question.

    I'll be using wooden fence materials to build it, setting 4x4 posts and buying the rails and pickets separately, NOT using pre-made panels.

    The ground where I will be constructing this is quite unlevel, but I want the run to be level across the top. That means the left side of the run will be about 4 ft high compared to the right side which we be 6 ft high. As unlevel as the ground is, I want this look appealing, so that was my idea. I understand that areas where the fence is 6 ft will require more rails than the area that's 4 ft, and I am also aware that all the pickets will have to be cut to achieve this look.

    The dog run will be 12x20.

    This is a first for me so if this is absolutely the wrong way to do this please let me know.

    Go buy or make you a water level. It will make getting the top level on all sides easy.

      Tip: I built one many years ago.. one thing I did was put a 2-foot strip of chicken wire just under the surface around the sides. Works perfectly to keep them from digging out.
