1 - LEARNING ABOUT FENCE FROM THE EXPERTS
Choosing an Aluminum Fence Is Easy
When you hear the word “fence”, most people will quickly visualize the two most traditional styles of fence
over the past 50 years; wood and chain link. Other than wrought iron fence, which is usually
manufactured locally due to its weight and the difficulty of installation- a cost prohibitive alternative for
many consumers, these two fence styles are the most common. The main reasons for this were price,
lack of consumer product options, and the familiarity of fence companies to install wood and chain link
quickly and at low labor costs.
Over the past several years, two modern styles of fence have quickly gained popularity in the consumer
market. Aluminum fence - the maintenance free lightweight product with the look of wrought iron, and
Vinyl fence, often referred to as PVC (Polyvinyl chloride). The two main reasons for their popularity are
their maintenance free aspects and the ease of installation. Although chain link fence and wood fence still
are usually less expensive per lineal foot, when you factor in the cost of installation and the labor it takes
to stain or paint a fence every few years only to ultimately replace it again, it’s easy to see why
consumers have been seeking a low cost alternative.
The primary reasons consumers purchase a fence are new home construction, replacing an existing
fence that has seen better days, or they have recently installed a swimming pool. The traditional way to
purchase a fence is to open the phone book, call several local companies to come out and provide a
quote, and then probably choose the low bidder. After several hours of your time, you will probably
receive a quote that does not break down cost of product versus cost of labor. If you do receive a line
item quote, it’s probable the fence company will mark up the cost of material up to or above 50% to cover
their overhead. What other choice did a consumer have?
Today, there’s a fast, easy, and efficient way to purchase fence from FenceTown. Here are some
advantages to shopping with us online:

Shop when you want anytime day or night. There’s no more reason to take off work or waste a
Saturday waiting for someone to come to your home in order to receive a quote.

View many styles and types of fence, not just the “high priced, low labor cost” products that many
fence companies offer.

Receive answers to your fence questions quickly with the method you choose to communicatephone, e-mail, fax, etc.

Immediately determine the cost of the fence you’re interested in by putting your product in a
“shopping cart” or receiving a free quote from our trained staff
Aluminum fence has been gaining in popularity over the past 20 years, largely due in part to the increase
of swimming pools installed by homeowners. Since most local communities require a fence around a
swimming pool for safety reasons, aluminum fence appeals to many consumers because of it’s open
picket style, has the beauty of wrought iron, is maintenance free, and can be installed quickly by a
homeowner- eliminating installation costs. Here are some additional reasons aluminum fence is the
fastest growing option in the fence industry:
4

Aluminum fence is powder coated or finished with a baked enamel coating. It will not warp or fall
apart, as many wood and chain link fences do over time. Aluminum fence resists the weathering
factors of extreme heat and cold and is virtually maintenance free.

Aluminum fence never rusts or rots. A good aluminum fence manufacturer offers a lifetime
warranty against cracking, peeling, and fading.

Aluminum fence is not treated with chemicals that could hurt the environment or cause health
concerns.

Aluminum fence is lightweight and easy to cut or miter. A hacksaw or miter saw can be used to
make any installation adjustments.

Aluminum fence is usually shipped as an assembled panel. All the homeowner is required to do is
set the post and then insert the entire aluminum fence panel into the post.
When shopping for a fence on the Internet, here are several things to look for to determine a reputable
online retailer:



Selection. Does the website offer only one style or manufacturer? It’s best to have a choice of
several vendors. Fence manufacturers offer a variety of styles and options based on your fence
needs. A good online retailer will offer several vendors so they can offer the consumer the best fit
for their specific application.
Price. Does the website immediately show the price of the product it advertises, or do they
require you to give them information first? A reputable website will have prices listed and
preferably without having to use several confusing drop down menus. An aluminum fence panel
price should be immediately visible without putting information in a cart or providing contact
information.

Contact information. Is there a phone number prominently displayed? A toll-free number
advertised on the website shows an online retailer takes customer service seriously and prefers
to have contact with their customers, not just sell a product.

Response. Is your phone call answered live during business hours? Are your e-mails answered
within a reasonable amount of time, same day or next day? If you request a quote, do you receive
a response within one business day or less?

Quote Assistance. Is there an easy and quick way to forward your information to receive a quote?
The simplest and most accurate method is still an old-fashioned line drawing with the linear
footage included for each “run” of fence. Our fence experts can quickly put together an accurate
bill of material for your project and immediately visualize your project to eliminate errors. Online
“fence” calculators are usually time consuming and frustrating for the consumer. Why not let the
fence experts do the work for you?

The Many Types of Aluminum Fences for Many Applications
Pool Fences & Safety Fences
A swimming pool is a wonderful addition to your home
and you want to ensure safety of those you love by
installing an aluminum pool fence around it. Pool fence
should be at least 48 inches tall, have a bottom rung
that is no more than three inches from the ground. The
panels are far apart so the fence can not be used as a
ladder.
You will need to comply with local building codes
(BOCA codes – see below) or your homeowner
organization fence codes. Generally the higher the pool
fence (54”, 60” or 72”), the more secure it is. All gates
or openings in the fence need to have to be self-closing with self latching gates, so the gate can not be
easily left open. The handle to unlatch the gate needs to be at least 54” high to prevent children from
opening it.
We have over 12 models and you can choose from the top brands - Delgard pool fence, Onguard pool
fence, Specrail pool fence or Gilpin pool fence. The Onguard pool fence is an excellent fence at a little
lower cost, Gilpin pool fence has steel base flanges which are best for mounting on hard surfaces like
cement or decks. Delgard pool fence is top quality and easy to install.
BOCA CODE POOL SAFETY FENCE REGULATIONS
For pool fencing, “BOCA code” means that the fence meets certain standards for safety. Simply stated it
means the fence needs to meet these basic requirements:









The top of the pool fence must be at least 48-inches above ground
Pickets spaced no more that 4-inches apart
Pickets cannot exceed 1-3/4 inches in width
The lower horizontal fence rail must be a minimum of 45-inches apart from the top rail
The horizontal rails need to be on the pool side of the fence
The lowest rail needs to be no farther that 4-inches above ground
Gates should open away from the pool
Gates should be self-closing and self latching
The gate release mechanism of the gate should be at least 54” from the bottom of the gate.
These BOCA pool fence requirements are for safety in order to keep smaller children from being able to
access a pool. The rules attempt to eliminate handholds and footholds and minimize the size of the
openings, and put the gate latches above the reachable height of small children.
7
Aluminum Pet Fences, Dog Fences, Cat Fences
Most dogs and cats have a natural curiosity and like to
roam around the yard and open spaces. The problem
with this is that most aluminum fences have standard
widths between pickets of 3 ½ inches to 4 inches. Dogs
and cats can easily fit through these and outside wild
animals can get in to the yard. Double picket fences like
those provided by Specrail and Delgard have widths
between pickets of only 1½ inches.
This picket width makes it impossible for pets to escape
and keeps them safe. Even small dogs like Chihuahuas,
Pekinese or Poodles, as well as large dogs, will not be
able to get outside of the fence. Other pets like cats,
rabbits and even the newly popular potbelly pigs will be confined to the fenced in area with a dedicated
pet fence. Wild animals like raccoons, possums, skunks wildcats and coyotes can’t get in either.
Delgard has several models of double picket fence which can be used as an aluminum pet fence, and
can also offer much more privacy and security. Every single Specrail fence panel has a “puppy picket”
option that can be added to the bottom of the fence. These double pickets go up about one third of the
overall height. All of the aluminum pet fences come with lifetime limited warranties, and you can save 2060% by buying a pet fence online and installing it yourself.
Aluminum Security Fence
One of the easiest and most effective ways to increase the
security of your home or business is to add an aluminum
security fence with a key locking gate. Aluminum security
fences cost more than wood fences but require no
maintenance, painting or staining. They cost much less than
steel or wrought iron fences and require none of the
substantial upkeep, scraping and painting. Adding an
aluminum security fencing also increases the value of the
home and its curb appeal. Buying a security fence online and
installing it yourself can save a great deal.
The goal of a security fence is to increase overall security
while preventing potential robberies and other crimes. National
crime rates continue to climb and these days most of our
customers feel that nothing is more important than the safety
of their family and they are buying these security fences.
Security fences are typically 48 inches or higher, have spear points and key locked gates. The higher a
fence is, generally the more secure it is. Fencetown.com offers security fences up to 8 feet in height. The
minimum height for a pool security fence is 48 inches also with the most popular height being 60 inches.
Delgard pet fences and Specrail pet fences have twice as many vertical pickets making the fence much
more difficult to climb and giving the home owner or business owner more security as well.
8
General Purpose Ornamental Fences
Ornamental aluminum fence is the most popular general
purpose fencing and it can be used for security fences,
pet fences, residential fencing and commercial or
industrial applications. It was created to have the look of
wrought iron fence without the maintenance and painting
requirements.
Our aluminum ornamental fences come in seven heights
from 3 feet to 6 feet, and in 20 different styles. The fences
come from five of the top US aluminum fence
manufacturers and include Delgard Aluminum fence,
OnGuard Fence Systems, Specrail aluminum fencing, Gilpin Fence and Xcel. These special aluminumalloy fences are powder-coated so the finishes look great for many years.
“Rackable” Fences That Can Be Mounted on an Incline
A rackable aluminum fence panel is one that can adjust to the slope of your land without having to be
stair-stepped as with solid fence sections. Using our aluminum rackable fence panels are better than solid
panels, because they allow for a much more secured fence, and a better looking smoother fence line
going up the slopes or hills on your land.
Rackable aluminum fencing which can be mounted on an incline or on a hill, is available from all of our
top national aluminum fence brands – Delgard, OnGuard Fence, Specrail, and Gilpin Fence. Each of
these fences in the standard models can go up over one foot in height for every 6 horizontal feet of fence.
If more racking is needed, each fence manufacturers can double punch the posts for much more
rackability. Please contact our customer staff for more racking information or a same day quote at 888
336 2386.
Deck Mountable or Cement Mountable Aluminum Fences
When mounting aluminum fences to a deck or cement slab, all of our
fence manufacturers provide base flanges. The base flange, along with
the fence post, is attached to a hard surface via screws or bolts. No
posts holes need to be dug for the cement or deck mounts.
The best base flanges are made from welded steel and come from Gilpin
Aluminum Fence. They support mounting of fences up to 60 inches or 5
feet in height. Our other fence manufacturers like Delgard, Specrail and
Onguard offer aluminum base flanges and support fence heights of up to
48 inches or 4 feet on cement or decks. Note that no base flanges will
support mounting 60 inch or 72 inch height fences, and a custom base
9
flange would need to be fabricated. In some cases, the Gilpin steel base flanges can be used for other
fence manufacturers, but you will need to call our customer service line for details at 888 336 2386.
Decorative Aluminum Fence
Decorative fence can be used for security, privacy, safety or beauty. It
was designed to look like wrought iron fencing but with no maintenance.
In the past, it was most common to use chain link or other unattractive
fences to mark boundary lines. Now it’s easy to get style and creativity
with strength and durability. Decorative fence panels come in over 100
models, and heights range from as short as a 3 foot garden fence and up
to 8 feet for high security decorative fences and privacy fences. The
baked enamel and powder coated finishes keep the fence free of rust
and corrosion while adding beauty and resale value to your home.
The FenceTown decorative aluminum fences come from five of the top
US aluminum fence manufacturers and include Delgard Aluminum
Fences, OnGuard Fence Systems, Specrail Aluminum Fencing, Gilpin
Fencing and Xcel.
There are several types of decorative fences. Security fences have spear points for added safety. Pool
Fence is usually at least five feet tall and should follow BOCA codes. Pet Fence has twice the number of
pickets to keep pets in and other animals out. General purpose perimeter fences can be any style and are
primarily for boundaries. Industrial and commercial decorative fences are used for the most demanding
applications like restaurants, sporting facilities and commercial buildings.
Quick Ship Aluminum Fence

pool party to leaving for vacation to buying a new puppy. Our quick ship fencing program will ship fences
and fence posts in just 6-7 business days! These are the same high quality aluminum fences from our top

The 7 Mistakes to Avoid When Buying an Aluminum Fence
1) No Guaranteed Lowest Price or Price Match Guarantee
Prices vary greatly on the internet for aluminum fence. The easiest way to get the best price is to use
a company that will match or beat any competitor’s price. When a company ships thousands of
fences per year, the manufacturers give them the special prices and those get passed on to
customers.
A Price Match Guarantee let’s you know that the company has the financial power to compete on any
price essentially giving you wholesale prices on aluminum fence. Fencetown will not be beat on price!
2) The Vendor Only Carries One or Two Aluminum Fence Brands
When a fence company only offers one or two brands, you have much more limited choices and may
get the wrong fence, or pay far too much for it. More fence brands and more fences, means more
choices and a better price.
It is best to work with a fence company that carries at least four brands and 80 fence models so you
have the freedom and choice to get the best fence for your specific application. Better companies will
offer at least a dozen different pool fences, security fences or general purpose fences. They will also
carry Midgrade and heavy-duty commercial grade fences for more demanding applications like
restaurants, sports venues and public areas. Fencetown carries over 10,000 products from 15
vendors.
3) Poor Customer Service
We have all unfortunately had experiences with calls to companies with staff that can not help you,
had long times to get quotes, treated you with rudeness or lack of interest and provided no help after
an order is placed.
There is just no excuse for this – you need to work with someone that wants your business. More
importantly, early poor customer service tells you the type of experience you can expect going
forward. With customer service for fencing companies there are four things our customers demand:

PROMPTNESS AND RELIABILITY – The aluminum fence company should answer the telephone
quickly and not send you to voice mail. They follow up all calls and emails quickly and exactly
when they say they will, and always within a day or same day.

KIND AND COURTEOUS – The staff should be professional, always courteous, easy to deal with
and love to get customer phone calls. Some fence companies are so busy working with local
walk-in customers that they hurry any phone or web customers - It should be all about you.

DEEP KNOWLEDGE – The company should have a staff with deep aluminum fencing knowledge
and be extremely helpful with any questions you may have on choosing, laying out, installing,
maintaining or ordering a fence. You want complete confidence that what you ordered is the
exact right materials and they will show up on time and in perfect condition.

FOLLOW THROUGH - The staff follows your order from the very first call or email through
shipping to any support you may need afterwards. Any fencing company should be happy to help
you long after your order is placed.
4) Low Quality Chinese Fence Imports
Many American made fence products tend to be higher quality than imported ones. Fencetown
regularly replaces Chinese fences purchased elsewhere, that are only a year or two old. The main
issues concerning the low-cost Chinese aluminum fences are that they bend when you lean hard on
13
them and they get shaky over time because of the brackets used to assemble them. Many of these
brackets are also unsightly with external fasteners that help make the fence less stable.
Most well designed American aluminum fences like Onguard Fence, Delgard, Specrail and Gilpin
Fence have channels for attachment of the rails to the posts. In addition, they have thicker extruded
posts and rails that are strong and long lasting. They come with lifetime limited warranties that protect
against any problems related to peeling, cracking or aging. What do you save when you have to
replace a entire fence in just a few years? One of the best ways to avoid this mistake is to work with a
firm that will send you free fence samples. Fencetown will send you up to 3 samples of fences at no
cost.
5) Fence Quotes Take More Than One Day and Have Hidden Costs
The best of fence companies have excellent customer service and sell a very high volume of fencing.
They have larger and better trained staff, which makes getting you a reliable quote at a great price
much easier. If you can not get a fast, accurate quote in 24 hours, then you are dealing with a less
than great fencing company. Most importantly on your quote, you should see all costs and fees –
there should never be any hidden fees, shipping charges or missing residential delivery fees, etc.
Everything needs to be up front in the fence quote and you should let the company know that they
you will go elsewhere if any hidden fees are added after the quote.
6) No Add to Cart Feature on Web site
The easiest way to get the price of a complete fence is to use a retailer who has prices of thousands
of their fence products on a web site with a full shopping cart. It will allow you to quickly see what the
cost of any style is and compare it any other site or quote. It takes a lot of work to enter thousands of
products and this tells you something about the size and investment that Fencetown has made in
their company. More importantly you can price out your entire fence from the comfort of your home at
any hour of the day. No one has a more robust shopping cart than Fencetown.
7) No Fence Experts to Help Design Your Fence
While many fences are simple to design, don’t assume you will get the exact right products without a
fence expert to review your layout. Using our free fence experts to help you ensures you will get the
right fence that will last for many years. Our staff has literally helped thousands of customers and can
solve any fence issue.

Q. What posts do I need to complete my fence?
A. Posts are specifically routed to accept the rails on a fence section. Here is a list of posts available and
their uses.
 Line Post: A line post is routed to be placed between 2 fence sections running in a straight line.

Corner Post: A corner post is routed to be placed between 2 fence sections creating a 90-degree
angle. Custom angles other than 90 degrees can be created with an END POST and
ADJUSTABLE FLANGES.

End Post: An end post is routed only on one side and is placed at the end of a fence run. It can
also be used with ADJUSTABLE FLANGES to create angles other than 90-degrees.

Gate Post: A GATE POST is placed on either side of a gate and is routed the same way as an
END POST. The difference between GATE POSTS and END POSTS is that GATE POSTS are
thicker and have are a thicker gage in order to sustain the weight and force of a gate repeated
opening and closing.
15

Blank Post: A BLANK POST is a post that has no routed holes and is used where there is a
change in grade or slope or a gate is being installed next to a structure.
Q. I am ordering a 36-inch tall fence and the posts are coming up as 36-inch too. Don’t I need
longer posts to insert into the ground?
A. No, the posts description uses the fence height, so it's easier to match up a fence section to a gate and
posts. All posts have an extra length of about 2 feet to put into the ground. The actual dimensions are
shown at the bottom of the product detail page. Here is an example of what the dimension of a residential
36-inch high post are.
Q. I have a corner of my yard that is not a 90-degree angle. How do I fence this in?
A. By using an END POST and ADJUSTABLE FLANGES. The number of ADJUSTABLE FLANGES
needed is determined by how many rails are on the fence section. Please send us a line drawing so we
can help you choose the right items for your project.
Q. How can I install my fence on an incline?
A. There are a few ways to accomplish this:



The first way is referred as racking. With racking, each section is adjusted as
seen in the picture below. Most sections can rack up to 25-degrees, which is
about 1 foot per 6 feet (1 section). The image below shows how an aluminum
fence section looks like when it is racked.
If a steeper angle of racking is needed, sections can be ordered with extraracking, also known as double-punching. Extra racking accommodates angles
up to 45-degrees.
Lastly, you can use adjustable flanges to angle a fence section.
Racking
Q. I want to mount my fence on a concrete or wood surface, How can I accomplish this?
A. Base flanges will be needed to secure your post to a hard surface. Delgard posts require you to cut the
post to the desired height and attach a Base Flange. Kingsford posts have the option of having the base
flanges welded on at the factory. To fasten the flanges a hard surface, you need to use a lag bolt
fastener. If your application is concrete, then you will also need some type of lag shield (see Fig 3) to
secure the flanges to the surface. Suggested size of masonry anchor: ¼" x 2½" long
Q. Can the fence be cut to custom lengths?
A. Fence sections can be cut down to the desired length with a hacksaw, reciprocating saw or a chop
saw.
Q. What hardware comes with a gate?
A. Most of our Aluminum Fence Gates have welded frames, and
the pickets are screwed into the frame. These also include Selfclosing hinges and a magnetic, key-locking latch come with each
gate. Delgard’s Guardian series gates include a Magna-Latch for
child safety. These latches are available for all gates. The two most
popular model are shown here.
16
Q. I would like to do this myself, where can I find installation instructions?
A. Manufacturer installation instructions can be found on our web site under: Installation Instructions.
There also some very good general installation instructions in this document.
Q. What is the BOCA code? What are the requirements for pool fencing?
A. For Pool Fencing, BOCA means that the fence meets certain standards for safety. Often times this is
referred to as a Pool Barrier. Simply stated it means the fence needs to meet these basic requirements:









The top of the fence must be at least 48-inches above ground
Pickets spaced no more that 4-inches apart
Pickets cannot exceed 1-3/4 inches in width
The lower two horizontal rail must be a minimum of 45-inches apart
The horizontal rails need to be on the pool side of the fence
The lowest rail needs to be no farther that 4-inches above ground
Gates should open away from the pool
Gates should be self-closing and self latching
The gate release mechanism of the gate should be at least 54” from the bottom of the gate.
These requirements are for safety in order to keep smaller children from being able to access a pool. The
rules eliminate handholds and footholds and minimize the size of the openings and put the gate latches
above the reachable height of small children. To see all of our pool only fence sections from Delgard,
Gilpin, OnGuard and Xcel, go the Web site’s section Pool Fence.
Note: The minimum height for a 3-Rail fence used for Pool applications is 54” due to the above rules.

Option 2 – Design Your Own Fence
(More Detailed Method with Complete Control)
1) Learn About Fencing
If you want to know more about aluminum fencing, we have many great articles you can checkout on the
footer of every page and this Free 50 Page Guide to Fencing which was written by our fence pros.
2) Select a Brand and Style
A good place to start is by selecting All Aluminum Fence by Style. from the left navigation area to see
what styles are available and what you like personally. If you have more information, you can choose to
only look at pool fences or 48 inch high fences.
21
3) Select a Style and Brand
Under each aluminum fence style you can see what that fence is used for – security fence, pet fence,
pool fence etc. and select a design style that appeals to you. Click on the heights to see different brands
and Delgard, Onguard, Gilpin and Specrail are the best. With some pages, you will be able to go directly
to the product page and with others you will have a choice of brands which will then take you to a fence
product page.
4) Get the Fence Price on the Product Page
Determine how long your fence will be and how many fence sections you will need by dividing the total
length by 6 feet. As an example, if you have 120 feet of fence, that would be 20 panels. Enter the number
of panels needed in the cart to get the total price of the fence panels (you will not be charged – only see
the total cost).
22
5) Add Posts and Gates for the Final Price
Add the fence sections to the cart first to see the gates and posts. Typically you need to have one post for
every fence panel. You will need gate posts for the gate mount and corner posts for the fence corners.
Select your gates and add the correct number to the cart.

Delgard MidGrade & Commercial Aluminum Fence Grade
The majority of fences sold in the US today are Residential Grade and strong enough for most home
applications. There are many other situations that require much stronger or higher quality fences like
restaurants, businesses, cemeteries, stadiums, houses on corners, and especially parking lots – just
to name a few. Mid Grade or Aero Grade aluminum fence is the next strongest level above Residential
Grade. Industrial or Commercial aluminum fence grades are the very strongest and highest quality
aluminum fence models.
Delgard Aero Grade fence comes with thicker rails and stronger posts, as well as 8 foot widths. It
should be used for high traffic or demanding home fence applications, or lower end business fencing
situations. The wider 8 foot fence widths will also lower the number of post holes needed by 33%.
Commercial Grade aluminum fence has much stronger pickets, rails and posts and has a push
strength of 1100 pounds versus 350 pounds for Residential Grade (See the fence chart below).
Commercial Grade aluminum fence is typically used in airports, garages, parking lots, stadiums,
prisons, and many business or industrial locations.
