the wood is too heavy for the support beams. try adding one or two. make sure your posts (the 4x4's) are standing on pier blocks or are in cement. make sure you are using the right hardware (that the nails are long enough). your wood could also be damp.

The 10 foot long section is too long, allowing it to sag. It needs a center support.

Jack fence up in middle, install 2/4's on edge at top, center, and bottom...that will stop the sag.

the distance of 10ft is over recomended length of 6ft max,this is to avoid the sag that you are experencing so i sugest you put a further support in the middle,giving a 5ft width this is then well within the recomended width

It needs another center support between the other two post.
