Frequently Asked Questions for Ultra Aluminum Fence
Ultra’s standard punched rail will allow for a racking of approximately 6”. If you need a steeper degree of racking, Ultra will double punch the horizontal rails to allow up to 20” of racking and can triple punch to allow for up to 36”. This service requires no special drawings, but should be clearly called out on your order. There is no charge for this service.
When installing one section between pillars the ideal spacing is 72″. When installing two sections between pillars the ideal spacing is 144 1/2″. When installing three sections between pillars the ideal spacing is 217″. When installing four sections between pillars the ideal spacing is 289 1/2″. Standard rail ends are used to secure the sections to the pillars. If using adjustable rail ends you might have to trim the sections back. (Calculation used: # of sections x 72″, add two inches for every line post, then subtract 3/4″ for every side of a line post.)

To ensure the safety of pets, Ultra recommends our UAF-201 and UAS-101 styles; Residential Series and Residential Series Premium with 1-5/8” picket spacing, or Commercial Series and Commercial Series Premium with 1-1/2” picket spacing. Or you can choose to add short staggered pickets to the bottom of any fence style, for a classic ‘puppy protection’ look.
Yes, fence panels can be shifted directionally up to 30 degrees; this slight adjustment at each post creates a rounded effect. Tighter curves may be achieved using narrower panels, or standard panels may be cut. However, the panels must not be rounded or bent, as this will compromise the structural integrity. Horizontal and vertical adjustable rail ends are specifically designed to connect to the horizontal rail of the fence panel, making it possible to negotiate sharp angles. Adjustable mounting brackets can be attached to structures such as pillars, columns or other posts.
