Privacy, pool, or picket: pick the fence model before the color
Horizontal louvers, privacy slats, pool barriers, and security fences are separate models. Color is the easy part.
Buyers often ask for “an aluminum fence, black.” That sentence skips the product. A privacy screen, a pool barrier, and an open picket do not share a panel, a post spacing, or a price.
On our catalog each of those is its own model. Order the model that matches the boundary, then choose the powder-coat color.
Match the panel to the job
A horizontal louver or slat panel is for garden edges where the owner wants the street out of the living room. A vertical picket is for a lighter look and more wind passage. A pool fence is a safety barrier with its own height and gate rules, which depend on the country you sell into. An anti-climb security fence is another panel again.
Do not ask a privacy panel to act as a pool code fence, or a pool fence to hide a neighbor. You will get a product that fails the job it was not designed for.
Height, module, and gates
Fence jobs are sold by the metre and lost on the corners. Send the run lengths, the corners, and every gate width. A 1 m pedestrian gate and a 3.5 m vehicle gate are not “gates, two.”
Frames are 6063-T5, powder coated. Fence models named on our ICR verification follow EN 1090. Confirm the model number before you print the standard on a customer drawing.
