Independent Residential Aluminum Fence Rail
Strength Test

Not
all aluminum fence products are the same, and that's an understatement.
Many factors go into creating a premium, heavy duty product such as the
size of the vertical pickets, the size of the horizontal rails, the
thickness (or gauge) of the material, the type of aluminum alloy used,
the amount of metal used, design and fabrication, and last (but
certainly not least), the paint finish.
Using only the highest quality of
American metals, components and extrusions combined with, on
average, 20% more metal in the form of metal ribbing inside the rails, and a
fabrication and powder coating process that is second to none, we are
proud to offer a premium product that is strong, durable and will never
rust. In fact, our residential fencing and gate products have been
used for many light commercial applications and is tantamount to the
commercial version of many other brands in the US market.
We independently tested our first tier aluminum fence panel,
residential, against 3 national competitors and were provided the
following results/analysis. |
