what does your segment look like? depending on how you made your terrain it would be different.

selected a line of points along my terrain and copied them to another layer. I made that an open curve. i then rail cloned the stakes (from a picket-style fence) using that curve.
then using the same curve, i rail extruded the cross beams from a single polygon.

if you displaced your terrain in layout, apply your texture to the y axis of the stakes. then displace 1 long subdivided cross beam. that could work.

it's a basic concept, but i hope it helps on your fence.

There is a plug-in called "NUT" that should help. Go to flay.com
