Independent Residential Aluminum Fence Rail Strength Test

Residential Aluminum Fence Rail Strength TestNot 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.
