Fence Question

How do measure the height of a fence? Do you measure it at the highest point or at the lowest. I am looking at fences that will either be concave or convex design. So I want to make sure I order the right size fencing.

Thanks in advance for your thoughts

Measure the tallest and order all the boards that way. You can always shorten them.

metal posts

The guy who's doing our fence put metal posts that are 10' apart.Would it be strong enough to hold the fence?He's using pressure treated green wood 1"x6"-6' for the fence.If the distance of the metal postings (10') won't be good enough -what additional things he can do to make it secure?Or is it okay not using the standard distance of fence's posts since he's using metal posts? Thanks1

T-post and welded wire fence for yard

We are considering installing a fence made from metal T posts with welded wire fencing attached. Has anyone used this type of fencing? Once installed we were going to add a dirt along the bottom( to hold back water),and then plant some type of vine.
