any mention of the gap at bottom depending on the gradient of the ground youre on? stepping down is hard enough to work out (say over 20m and the drop may not be consistent) but doable but say you want to follow the gradient as much as possible (undulate) with stepping down and ideally without cutting the sheets...then how do you work that out?

Depending on where you're from and your manufacturer, Stratco usually cuts the length of the sheets for you to cater for that drop up to 2100mm height. You can also use aluminum plinths that are 150mm high with max two stacks to assist. You just have to make the posts longer to match. Alternatively, cut the sheets in the angle of the drop so it would level at 1800mm height consistency.

Only 2 screws at the top for the posts back to back. How many more for the remainder of the post & what distance apart. Missing some vital information for us DIYers.

Rule of thumb for post holes is 1/3 the length of the post has to be buried in the ground..... So.... if you are building an 1800 high fence..... then you need 2400 mm fence posts and holes approx 700 mm deep. That way you have a bit of room for setting your posts at the right height. Post length 2400 mm .... divide by 3...... 600 mm in the ground..... 1800 mm fence height. Whatever your fence height is divide it by 2 then multiply by 3 to work out the length of the fence posts..... a 3 metre high fence ideally needs 4.5 metre long fence posts etc. You don't rapid set mixed concrete or bags of pre mix.... that is just an expensive way of buying concrete... Go to a landscape yard and buy half a metre of concrete mix and a 2 bags of cement...... the ratio is 3.2.1 or 4.2.1 If it is not already mixed... then the ratio for concrete is 3 or 4 shovels of gravel, 2 shovels of sand and 1 shovel of cement etc. Mix it up dry in a barrow... Get a post hole borer.... dig your holes the right depth.... wet the holes a bit with a hose. Throw some dry mix into the bottom third of the hole... Tamp it down.... Insert your post...... Make sure it is at the right height..... roughly hold the post plumb(vertical) ..... level is horizontal.... plumb is vertical or upright..... a lot of these blokes don't appear to know the difference. Add some more dry mix and tamp it down hard around the post.... Check the height.... check the post for plumb on two sides .. so you check the front and a side face of the post. That is all you really need to do.... but you can spray a bit of water into the top of the hole to help the dry mix go off..... Usually, the moisture in the ground will set the concrete off overnight. My father was a master builder.. I was his labour from an early age... then spent 40 years in the construction industry..... Ten of those years was as a self employed commercial landscaper and paver... We used build retaining walls and fences all the time.

No reciprocating saw? No tech screwing the panels together or in situ? I could push my way through that fence, it'd make a bit of noise, but it wouldn't stop a burgler for a second.

Not designed to screw panels together, there would be screw ends poking out. why would a thief be going through a fence, they might as well smash your front window.

I built all my fences in Melbourne with no permits but you do need a permit dependent on height/construction method. One boundary fence built by Jim's Fencing was a complete disaster as I discovered years later- they had backfilled some holes with soil, so the fence started to lean.If I had kept the receipt, I would have taken the builder to court- lesson learnt, watch the actual build and pouring of the concrete.
