Hello! I'm in the process of repairing my concave fence consisting of standard 8' gothic posts joined by three 2x4x8 rails and covered by 1x6x6 planks located about an inch apart. The planks were so badly rotted that I had to remove them entirely and replace most of the 2x4x8. My problem now is how to cut the tops of the planks to form the concave shape needed to achieve a uniform look on this fence. Not all of the posts are located the same distance from each other and hence it seems that I would have to cut each section of the fence independently. For the life of me, I am unable to find on the internet any guides that would lay out the process of measuring and cutting the planks to achieve a nice and uniform look. Any help, hints or suggestions on this process would be much appreciated. Thank you.

Hi all I would like to improve my front porch, adding a nice rail and making it more inviting, to enjoy a good book in a nice day. Now the problem is that I have no idea about what kind of rail should I buy. Since the house is made of exterior stucco, and the base of the porch is cement (I will eventually put tiles on it thou); I thought that I should go for metal rails. I do not have 2 posts where to put the rail between, so the posts would go in the area right after the cement base, inside the dirt; unless I can find a way to bolt the rail into the stucco wall and bolt a post on the cement surface (which seems quite a hard task, compared to dig 2 holes in the dirt and drop 2 posts). Is there any easy to install rail kit that looks good and at the same time requires very little skills to be installed? All the kits that I see are made for house in victorian style (with columns in between and made of wood), but not too many stucco/cement/tiles and made of iron Thanks!
