K last fence question. My ground is very slight sloped but I want to keep the fence straight and not sloped with the ground. When installing the posts how exactly do I make sure I'm setting them so the top of each is exactly level with the previous? Do I need a laser? Thanks

Sorry..don't understand what you mean.😩
knock in a stake at both ends of where you want the fence, then run a masons line as tight as you can( you can get it at home depot, it comes in bright colors) the same height on both stakes, so it will be level between the 2 points, then as you set your posts in the ground measure up from the mason line to the top of your posts, so all the top of the posts will be the same height, you will have uneven gaps at the bottom of the fence, but you wanted the tops even..
