Your order is processed and put "in line" for fabrication, packaging and shipment. A detailed order confirmation (and order #) will be emailed to you on the same day. When your order ships, a shipment notification email will be sent to you with tracking information so that you will have advance notice of your delivery date.

Finials are rust free, cast aluminum (not cheap plastic like some companies sell) decorative add-ons to the top of the vertical pickets on your fence panels, single gates, double gates or exposed dog panel pickets. Rings are ornamental, metal circles that we "set" between the top 2 horizontal rails on your fence panels and/or gates. The dog panel option involves fabricating additional (shorter) vertical pickets into a fence panel and/or gate to keep small animals (like small dogs) in or out of your property. See black information links running horizontal across the top of every web page for more information and pictures.

The difference has to do with the "size" of the vertical pickets and the "spacing" between the vertical pickets. When you move up from Grade 1 to Grade 2, the size of the vertical pickets increase from 5/8" x 5/8" to 1"wide x 5/8" deep. And, the spacing increases from 3 3/4" to 4". Typically, Grade 1: Residential is structurally sound for any residential application. The Grade 2 system is stronger and is typically ordered by home owners who: A) have a lot high traffic around the perimeter of their home, or B) have the budget and want the stronger/bolder Grade 2 system. (Moving up to Grade 3: Commercial and/or Grade 4: Industrial will also have larger horizontal rails and a thicker gauge of material). See Specifications link at the top of every page for more information.

You will use Wall Mounts to attach a fence panel to a column. For a 2 - horizontal rail fence panel configuration you will need 2 wall mounts for each connection to a column, house or structure. For a 3 - horizontal rail fence panel you will need 3 wall mounts for each connection to a column, house or structure. For a 4 - horizontal rail fence panel, you will need 4 wall mounts for each connection to a column, house or structure. Wall Mounts can be found in the ACCESSORIES page (blue link) in the left hand margin (underneath Shop) of every page of the web site.

Yes you can. About 90% of our residential clients install the fence themselves. The rest will hire a handyman. Our fence panels are shipped preassembled (ready for installation) and the gates are welded. Our posts are prepunched (for horizontal rail insertion) based upon the grade, height, style and location of each post. For example, a LINE post will be punched on opposite sides of the post so that you can connect two fence panels in a straight run.

Similarly, our CORNER posts are pre-punched on adjacent sides of the post so that you can make a 90 degree turn. All fence panels can be cut down (on-site) to meet any particular fence run footage measurement. Feel free to download our Installation Manual(Adobe PDF File). Additionally, should you run into any snags, we offer free technical (telephone) support to all of our clients.

Most orders ship around 2 1/2 - 3 weeks from the day your order is fully processed. Welded plates, the colors hunter green and sandstone typically require an additional week. During the our summer "peak season", most orders ship around 3 to 3 1/2 weeks after order has been processed. We will contact you when your order ships and provide you with a tracking number so that you will know (in advance) the date of your delivery.

One of the many benefits to our fence and gate system is that has been designed for easy, DIY fence installation or Do-It-Yourself fence installation. The posts in your order are pre-punched based upon "YOUR" specific fence panel configuration. It doesn't matter if you ordered 64", 70" or even 84" long posts; all of your posts that have punch designations in them will be punched for your, specific 2 - rail configuration, fence style & height. Another benefit to the design is that you or the installer gets to decide on-site how much space (clearance) is left between the bottom of your fence panels.....and the ground/deck/surface area.

Our posts are prepunched based upon "your" fence panel configuration (style, height, number of horizontal rails...etc.). This makes for such an easy, streamlined installation that anyone can install our fencing and gate system. Then, you set the panel by self-tapping 1 stainless steel (painted) TEK screws (which is included with your order automatically) through each panel-to-horizontal rail connection.

Our Grade 1: Residential fence line comes only in 6' wide sections. We have 6' wide and 8' wide sections in our Grade 2: Residential WIDE, Grade 3: Commercial and Grade 4: Industrial fence lines. Both 6' wide and 8' wide fence panels can be easily and quickly cut down on-site (with a hack saw or electrical saw) during installation to fit any particular fence run footage measurement.

Gates are welded and CANNOT be cut-down on-site.

No. You always want to order the exact same height measurement for your fence panels and gates...and then ADD the designer arch option in the gate(s) product page....prior to adding the product to your shopping cart. Therefore, in your scenario, you want to order 48 inch high fence panels and 48 inch high gates plus the designer arch. By choosing the designer arch option, we will fabricate additional height into your gates....as you move towards to middle of each gate. Always be consistent with your fence panel and height product size selections.

Yes, we ship out swimming pool fence everyday all over the United States. It is strongly recommended that you check with your homeowner's association or the city that you live in to find out if you have any pool fencing restrictions. And, we also carry BOCA compliant pool fencing. For more information, see the pool fencing link at the top of each page.

No. Posts are a separate cost and can be found in the left hand margin, underneath Shop. You will typically need a post to connect each fence panel to one another. Similarly, you will need 2 gate posts for any single gate or double gate. You can mount a gate to a structure (house, building, column) without using posts, however, you would need to order 2 gate hinge back plates for single gates and 4 gate hinge back plates for double gates.

We carry 4 Grades of 9 styles each.
Grade 1: Residential fence panels are approximately 70.75" wide
Grade 2: Residential-Wide fence panels are 70.75" and 96" wide, respectively
Grade 3: Commercial fence panels are 70" and 96" wide, respectively, and
Grade 4: Industrial fence panels are 70.5" and 96" wide, respectively

You will also need Wall Mounts to connect the horizontal rails directly to your stone columns. Wall Mounts can be found in Accessories. Note: fence panels can be easily and quickly trimmed down with a hack saw or metal blade saw on-site. It is recommended that when you build your columns, in advance, that you err on on making the distance slightly less than the panel width. You can always trim the product down to fit.

Our Grade 1: Residential and Grade 2: Residential-Wide (fence panels and gates) comes in 5 standard colors: Black, White, Bronze, Hunter Green and Sandstone. There is no difference in cost for any of these colors. The Grade 3: Commercial and Grade 4: Industrial (fence Panels and gates) come in 3 standard colors: Black, White and Bronze.

Posts are available in Black, White, Bronze, Hunter Green and Sandstone. There is no difference in cost when it comes to our standard colors. Custom colors are available for an additional fee. Color matching and code will need to be approved by customer.

Our products use POLYCOLOR®, an environmentally approved, premium high-solids acrylic coating (powder coat) which exceeds AAMA 603.8. Our products have been shipped to the colder regions of the northern U.S. and to the salty, coastal regions of Florida, the west coast, the Gulf of Mexico, and the northeast without any issues. You will never have to repaint any of our products and a lifetime warranty is included with all of our products which guarantees that none of our products will fade, blister or rust.

Our gate widths are from inside to inside of the posts. We subtract approximately 3/4" from each of the 2 gate "leafs" to accommodate the included gate hinges. Therefore, you can order an 11 foot wide double gate. The 2 - 3" x 3" posts will take up 6 inches. Gate widths shown on our website are from inside to inside of each post (including the spacing for the hinges).

Yes. All of our gates can be automated with a gate operator. A gate "operator" is a separate cost. Our gates work with most commercial gate operators on the market. We typically recommend Elite (eliteaccess.com) or Mightymule (mightymule.com).

No. We send, at no additional cost, two drop rods and 4 clips with each double gate. You can either use one of the drop rods (and two clips) on one gate and then stabilize the other by locking it. Or, if you like, you can attach each drop rod to each gate.

Yes. However, you are required to move up to Grade 3: Commercial for single gates WIDER than 6 feet. We can fabricate custom sized single gates and double gates for any opening up to 36 feet wide. In your situation, you would need to order a Grade 3: Commercial Single Gate, 120 inches wide (you have to order the next standard size up). During checkout, you will see a Customer Notes text box. Write the opening measurement in that text box and we'll custom fabricate the gate to fit within your opening. Also, please review Gate Post Spacing document which can be downloaded in the "Download" area of the Support page.

You have 3 options for installing posts onto a concrete slab: 1) You can core drill into the cement and then cement the posts into your existing concrete deck. This would require you to have a core drill. 2) If your fence panel height is 48"h or smaller you can use our Deck Mounts to anchor the posts with the deck mounts on top of your deck (concrete, wood, composite...etc). 3) For 54 inch high and 60 inch high fencing/gate systems, you can add our optional welded plate to your posts. Each post product page includes a more detailed chart on what you will need to mount your posts.

We dramatically beat out local contractor pricing all over the U.S. Local contractor's cannot compete with our pricing because of the high volume of business that we do around the country. This enables us to offer you a premium product at a wholesale cost. Additionally, about 90% of our residential clientele install our aluminum fencing and gate systems without ever having installed a fence before. This can amount to up to thousands of dollars in additional savings.

Yes, to connect two fence runs at different heights (at the corner) is very easy to do. You need to default to your higher fencing when it comes to the 90 degree (corner) connection point. However, you do NOT want to order a Corner Post. You will need to order an End Post --- 100” long.

End Posts are prepunched on 1 of the 4 sides of the post. You will face the side with the prepunched holes outwards/facing the 72” high run. Then, you will connect the first fence panel of your 48” high fence run to the adjacent side of that same End Post using Wall Mounts. Wall Mounts can be easily found via the Accessories (blue link) in the left hand margin (underneath "Shop").

So to recap, the first 72” high panel will be "inserted" into the (prepunched holes of the) End Post and the first 48” high fence panel will be "mounted" to the adjacent side of the same End Post using Wall Mounts.

Don’t forget to order the correct quantity of Wall Mounts. If you have a 2-Rail configuration on your 48” high fencing system, then order 2 Wall Mounts; if you have a 3-Rail configuration on your 48” high fencing system, then order 3 Wall Mounts...etc.

Some credit card companies (unbeknown to the customer) put a daily security limit on the customer's credit card....for your protection. This can be easily fixed. All you have to do is call your credit card company (it takes about 2 minutes), tell them that you are attempting to place an order with Great Fence, and ask them to lift the daily security limit for today only. Then, go back to your shopping cart and click the PLACE ORDER button one more time and your order should go through. You will know if your order has been completed if: 1) You are taken to a Thank You page and, 2) You receive an email order confirmation within a couple of minutes. If you continue to have a problem processing your order through our website, please call us at 1-888-379-1312 and we can process your order over the telephone.

No. Fence panels are packaged 7 to a box (with spacers), posts are packaged around 9 - 10 per box, your gates are packaged separately and your accessories will be in another smaller box. The heaviest box you will have will be your fence panel box. Two people can easily unload any of the boxes in your shipment. That's why we recommend that you have someone else with you on the day of delivery. The carrier drivers at ABF Freight and New Penn freight are very friendly and some will assist you in offloading the materials...however, they are not required to do so.

No. We are a nationwide provider of materials only. We offer a solid lifetime warranty on the workmanship, structural integrity and paint finish on all fencing and gate products.
