Figure your materials, by doing a simple line drawing of how your fencing will layout, the length of each fence line, where you will place your gates and how wide you want those gates. Most of our fence sections are six feet wide. We do offer eight foot wide sections in Commercial Grade. For a complete fence, you will need fence sections, posts and gates. Installation of your aluminum fence is relatively easy, these instructions should eliminate any guess work.

Establish your fence line by staking out the area to be enclosed and attaching the string line to the stakes. Make sure the fence is set back from the property line as required by local codes. Separate and identify your posts. There are five types of posts: Line, End/Gate, Corner, “T” and Blank posts.The horizontal rails of the fence sections fit into the holes that are routed in the posts. Line posts have holes routed on opposite sides. Corner posts have holes routed on adjacent sides. End posts have holes routed on only one side. Gate posts are the same as end posts, but the post wall is twice as thick to support the weight and latching of the gate. “T” posts have holes routed on three sides. Blank posts have no holes and can be used with Wall Mounts. Gates and sections should be installed so that the bottom of the fence is about 2” above grade. This will allow the grass under the fence to be easily trimmed without damage to the fencing.
