How do you keep a horizontal fence from sagging?

• <div><p>Since wood is weaker when installed horizontally versus vertically, a horizontal fence is prone to sagging. You can prevent this drooping from happening by building a sturdier fence. Use softwoods that are more stable, such as cedar and redwood, or denser hardwoods for your <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/types-wood-fencing.htm">fence materials</a>. If you can’t afford these pricey materials, use thicker two-by-six pressure-treated pine boards or shorten the span the fence boards have to cover by installing more posts. </p></div>
