Jerith Aluminum Fences are installed by
setting a post in concrete and sliding
the horizontal rails of a section into
the pre-punched holes in the post. A
second post is then set at the other end
of the section. A second section slides
into the second post, and so on. If you
need less than a full section, simply
cut the rails to the size you need with
a saw.

Installation of Patriot Fence allows you
to set all of the posts first, then
install the sections using brackets.

Can the fence
curve?
If your fence line bends, the sections
can easily be angled in the posts to
follow most curves. For a very tight
curve, just cut the sections in half and
put another post between the two
sections. The sections themselves can
not be bent without ruining their
structural integrity however. |
Can fence follow a
downhill slope?
Most of our standard aluminum fence
sections can follow the contour of the
ground. This is called either raking or
racking. The fences drop about one foot
over the 6' length of a section. If a
greater slope is needed, sections can be
specially fabricated as "double-punched
sections" to traverse a 45 degree angle.
Patriot Fence and Regency "Plus" styles
can not rake at all, while Concord,
Lexington, and 400 Series fence can only
rake about 6 inches over their length. |
What is the post
spacing?
For Ovation, Encore, Regency, and
Patriot, the posts should be spaced 72"
on-center. Industrial fence posts need a
71-1/2" spacing on-center, while
Residential fences have a 72-1/2" post
spacing. |
What are the
standard colors?
Patriot Fence is only available in
black, while our aluminum fences come in
a black, white or bronze finish.
Finials, ball caps and scrolls are also
available in a gold finish, as well as
black, white or bronze. |
Are custom colors
available?
Yes, but there are two conditions that
must be met. We can only coat custom
colors from October to March (our slow
season) and the job must have at least
1,000 feet of fence. Also, since custom
colors can not undergo the same testing
that our standard colors have passed, we
can only guarantee the finish for 5
years. |
Can the fence
attach to brick columns or the side of
my house?
Yes, we have wall mount castings that
allow the fence sections to connect to
any flat surface. These fit over the
ends of the rails and attach to the flat
surface with two screws. We also have
adjustable wall mounts if you need to
come off the flat surface at an angle up
to 45 degrees. |
How far apart
should I space my columns so the
sections will be evenly spaced?
The distance between columns is the
standard post spacing multiplied by the
number of sections you want between the
columns, less the width of one post. For
example, for three Ovation sections
between columns, 3 sections times 72"
(the standard post spacing) minus 2" for
the post, equals 214" (17'-10") between
columns, not 18' as you might expect. |
Can the fence
mount on a patio/deck?
To fasten a post onto a concrete slab,
we recommend that you core-drill the
concrete if at all possible. We do offer
deck mount castings, however, they
should not be used on fences over 48"
tall. |
Can I use these
products as railings?
Our fences are not designed to be used
as railings and we will not warrant
their use as a railing. |
