Can I match a specific color?
it's About Fences offers ornamental fencing in several popular
colors. Each powder-coat finish has been specifically formulated for
durability, with ultra-violet inhibitors to withstand the elements. It's
possible to specially formulate a powder to coat your ornamental fence,
but this option may prove to be cost prohibitive on smaller projects. |

Can I install your ornamental products myself?
Generally, our ornamental products are shipped unassembled to save
freight. It's About Fences assembles the product, then installs the
finished panels on your project. Each fencing contractor has the necessary
equipment and experience to assemble and install the ornamental fencing to
our specifications. While a consumer could do this, we strongly recommend
that you rely on the expertise of a skilled fence installer. |

Are pointed pickets safe around children?
The classic look of a spear picket has been a traditional design for
ornamental picket fencing. While we offer these styles, you should take
care to ensure they are correctly installed and children are warned of the
dangers that exist. To avoid injuries, we recommend that fences less than
6' tall not use these pickets. |

There are quite a few ornamental fences, and they all tout their own types
of picket attachment.
What's the best method?
Our special ornamental fencing products each use a different method for
attaching the pickets. Use of each particular method was engineered into
the design and performance characteristics for the product. One thing they
all have in common is that they are not welded. Welding steel burns off
any protective coating, and subject the panel to red rust. Whether rivets,
retaining rods, or self-tapping screws are used, you can be assured of a
fastener that was designed to offer ornamental fencing with the durability
and security you desire. |

Is your aluminum fencing strong enough for use in my home?
Yes. It was designed to combine an attractive, durable appearance with
virtually no maintenance for the residential homeowner. Special aluminum
alloys were used to provide the strength needed to protect the safety and
welfare of your family.

Should I
be concerned about the gates for my ornamental fencing?
Definitely. Your gate is the only moving part of your fence, therefore,
it's subject to the most abuse. We've designed each gate to withstand
punishment from pedestrians, pets or vehicles. When installed with our
specially designed gate hardware, each of our gates is engineered for
years of virtually maintenance-free use, and warranted against defects in
materials and workmanship. |

My property isn't flat and slopes up and down. Will your ornamental
fencing leave big gaps under each panel?
No. Grade changes are usually handled in one of two ways. One attractive
option is to stair-step each panel. A second option is to rack or bias the
panels, allowing the fence to follow the contour of the ground. Certain
styles and systems are more capable of following ground contours, and
should be considered for conditions with significant slope. |

Can I put a gate operator on my ornamental fence?
Yes. You can add a gate operator to any of our ornamental gates. Whether
you have a swing or cantilever gate, Exterior Fence Builders has a gate
operator that will provide the ease of use and safety needed in your
application. We also can deliver all the access controls to supply the
security features you require.
