how do you keep the fence tight when there is a change in grade?

That's a great question. The mesh, being a woven mesh, has flexibility which gives it some flexibility. If there is a radical change in the grade, you will have to cut the wire at a post and start a new section. When the grade change is subtle, the mesh tends to "blouse", either at the top or bottom. One way to remove these loose sections and get a smooth fence is to cut the horizontal wires. Only cut the number ow wires necessary to take out the bulge. Remove enough wire so that when the fence wires are re-attached with crimp sleeves, the fence will be straight when tightened. 
I hope this answer is helpful for you. As in any question like this, there is usually more than one way to solve a problem.  

How do I construct a stretching device for nonclimb horse fencing. Details would be appreciated. I have the come-alongs, but need to understand the part with the 2x4s. Thanks.
