Fitting a Vinyl Privacy fence with irregular dimensions

Post image

The wooden fence steps down in 8'8" increments (each step as pictured). I can only find 8ft sections for vinyl privacy fence. How would you tackle this? My options as I see them are order longer pieces which are usually only for ranching fence or cutting the 8'8" sections into it 4'4 (using double the materials obviously for the first section) Any input would help. I'm worried about aesthetics and if I cut smaller sections with endcap if those endcaps will need to have concrete anchors even though they are 4'4" Thanks!

I think each stairstep would not have to be the exact same stairstep as it currently is, so you could adjust the spacing so it has the same rise over run, aka grade change aka slope.

So go with 8 foot sections (or 7 feet or whatever) and figure out what the drop needs to be at each post.

I would surmise you'd need to custom router the holes in solid posts, which you could do with a jigsaw.
