Structure & Components of Aluminum Picket Fence

The robust construction and versatile design make them an excellent choice for enhancing property boundaries with security and style.

1. Fence Posts

• Function: Fence posts serve as the backbone of the fence, providing stability and structural strength. They are anchored in the ground using concrete or ground anchors to prevent movement or tilting.
• Material: Made from extruded aluminum alloy square tubes, treated for enhanced corrosion resistance and strength.
• Specifications: Available in various heights and diameters to suit different fence types and installation needs.

2. Pickets

• Function: Pickets are the vertical components that form the main body of the fence, providing separation, decoration, and privacy. They are attached to the posts and can be designed with varying spacing and heights.
• Material: Typically made from extruded aluminum rectangular tubes, offering excellent weather resistance and corrosion protection.
• Specifications: Common spacing options include tight (for increased privacy) and wide (for an open feel).

3. Rails

• Function: Rails connect the posts and pickets, supporting the fence structure and maintaining horizontal stability. They are usually positioned at the top and bottom, with optional middle rails for added strength.
• Material: Larger extruded aluminum rectangular tubes ensure sufficient strength to support the fence.
• Specifications: Rail diameter and length can be adjusted based on the fence size and design.

4. Connectors and Fasteners

• Function: Connectors secure all parts of the fence (pickets, rails, posts) together. Common methods include bolts, screws, clips, or welding.
• Material: Aluminum alloy connectors are corrosion-resistant and strong, ensuring stability.
• Specifications: Selected based on specific design and installation requirements.

5. Base or Foundation

• Function: The foundation provides stability to prevent the fence from collapsing or shifting. Typically involves a concrete base or specialized ground anchors at the bottom of the posts.
• Material: Aluminum base plates provide additional stability when welded to aluminum posts.
• Specifications: Depth and size vary according to ground conditions and fence type.

6. Top Caps or Finials

• Function: These decorative elements sit atop the posts, enhancing aesthetics while preventing moisture accumulation, which increases durability. They can be designed in various shapes such as domed or pointed.
• Material: Made from aluminum alloy for consistent corrosion resistance.
• Specifications: Common designs include rounded tops, pointed tops, or conical shapes.

7. Bottom Support

• Function: In some fence designs, bottom supports provide additional reinforcement to prevent pickets from bending or tilting under pressure. This is particularly useful for taller fences.
• Material: Aluminum alloy.
• Specifications: Typically matches the height of the fence and spacing of pickets.
