aluminum Fencing Installation

Closed picket aluminum fencing is the most standard and basic of all aluminum styles. The closed picket design is constructed by screwing each picket into the top of a bottom channel and then into the bottom of a top-cap and snap system. This style is assembled by snapping each post of a section into the post of the following section linearly. Once the fencing sections are snapped together, a top-cap is then snapped into place on the top of each fence line, creating a virtually seamless top-cap all around.

In contrast to the standard closed-picket style, open-picket fences have vertical members that protrude up through the top channel, and are topped with decorative finials. This style of aluminum fence does not use a top-cap and snap system, instead, each picket is screwed into the bottom channel, and then protrude through holes that are punched into the top channel. Also, the posts on open-picket style are raised up past the top channel.

This style is a cross between the traditional closed picket style and the raised posts of the open picket style. Instead of the picket protruding through holes punched in the top channel, they are screwed into an aluminum channel that is then screwed into a post on either side. You can choose to add a middle-rail just below the top-rail, and you can also choose to vary picket spacing according to your needs. Speak with one of our salesman to find out exactly what kinds of style variations are available.

Aluminum open-picket fences can benefit structurally when you add another rail just under the top-rail. The addition of the middle rail also allows you install accents between the top and middle-rail such as the popular circle accent, you can also choose to vary picket spacing according to your needs.
