| Mar 10, 2023 at 3:33 | comment | added | Eli Kern | @Triplefault - I can’t figure out why the fence is migrating uphill. There is nothing pushing on it from the downhill side (just empty space there). The earth around the fence seems solid and has good drainage, but I assume the fence posts are somehow shifting in their holes, though there is no looseness whatsoever. | |

| Mar 10, 2023 at 1:16 | comment | added | Triplefault | What is making the fence migrate? Is it leaning over under its own weight? or is it being pushed? (Check the other end of the fence for what might be making it lean. Maybe the neighbor's collapsing shed/woodpile/elephant is leaning on it? :) | |

| Mar 9, 2023 at 23:27 | comment | added | Gil | Have you tried a cable with a turnbuckle. Place it across from the bottom to the top in such a way that it will draw it back into alignment. Adjust just a little every few days until it is slightly overdecorated then you can replace the cable with some wooden braces. In the top photo from top left to the base of the next column to the right. | |
