Can I match a specific color?
 FENCECO™ 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.

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.

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.
