What standard colors are available? All items are available in a black, white or bronze FencCoat ™ powder-coated finish. A gold color is also an option for finials, ball caps and scrolls.  Back to Top

Can I use Jerith fence as a railing? NO! Our products are designed to be fences, not railings. They have not been tested to meet railing codes and we will not warrant their use as such.  Back to Top

Are line posts included with the sections? No, all items are sold separately so you only need to order the parts you need for a particular job. 
                                                                  Back to Top
Are caps included with the posts? Standard post caps are included in the price. Decorative ball caps are also available for an additional charge. Their prices can be found in the "accessories" price list pages.   Back to Top

Are the sections and gated assembled? Almost all fence sections and gated are shipped fully assembled. Certain styles require finials and/or loops to be installed in the field.  Back to Top

How tall is the actual fence? Except where it is noted, the fence height shown is the actual length of the pickets. The post usually extends an inch or so above the pickets.  Back to Top

What is the post spacing? For Residential Strength fences, the spacing is 72 1/2" from center of post to center of post. For Ovation and Commercial Regency, the spacing is 72". For Industrial Strength, posts are spaced 71 1/2 on center. Regency posts are set 95 5/8" on center.
                                    Back to Top
What is the post spacing? Self-closing and self-latching hardware are included in the gate prices, except for our Estate Gate prices which only include hinges. Gates over 60" wide come with hinges, but they will not be self-closing.  Back to Top

What size gate opening do I need for my gated if they are mounted on wood or aluminum posts? Our swing gates are sold by their opening size, so a 48" gate fits into a 48" opening between posts. The gates will hang flush with the face of the hinge post and latch onto the face of the opposite post.  Back to Top

How do I make a double-drive gate?  Any two gates can be combined to make a double drive gate. When you need a double drive gate, notify our Customer Service Department and we will supply two drop rod assemblies at no charge.   Back to Top

Double gates are also made to fit a given opening size, so a 12' double drive gate will fit inside a 12' opening.

What if the gates are mounted onto the middle of brick columns? For a single gate only, you will need to allow 1" extra to attach the latch keeper onto the column. (So a 48" gate needs a 49" opening.)
Let our Customer Service Representative know when you are ordering a gate for this type of installation, and they will supply you with a small piece of aluminum channel to attach the keeper to the middle of the column. If this is an Industrial or Estate Gate, we will also need to send you a special hinge that is cut for this purpose. The standard hinge for these gates only fits 90 degree angles. Residential, Regency and Ovation gates use hinges that can adapt to either situation without modification.   Back to Top

What is the largest gate you make for a particular style? The largest gate size shown on a style's price list is the widest gate that we will build. If you need a bigger gate for a Residential or Regency style, you may have to order an Industrial Strength gate for the job since they can span the widest openings.  Back to Top

Can I order special size gates? Special width and/or height gates are available. We need the exact opening size to fabricate the gate correctly. To calculate the cost for a special width gate, use the price of the next widest standard gate and add $70 per leaf. Special height gales (up to 6' wide) are priced as the next tallest gate plus a $100 charge per leaf. These costs are cumulative, so a 54" x 45" special gate would cost $170 more than a 60" x 48" gate.  Back to Top

Do I need gate posts on both sides of a gate? Yes, heavier posts are needed to both support the weight of the gate and to withstand the constant impact when the gate latches.  Back to Top

When do I need to use 4" or 6" gate posts? The size and weight of a gate determine when you need to use these larger gate posts. All gates over 24 square feet need 4" posts, especially when an operator is placed on the gate. Consult the individual price sheets to see if you need a 4" post for a smaller gate or when a 6" post will be needed. We do not punch 4" or 6" posts. Instead, we include wall mounts to attach the rails of the fence to these posts.  Back to Top

How far can the fence rake (or rack)? Most sections of fence can rake about 12" over their span. (Some styles move more or less than 12". Check the individual price sheets for differences.) If you want to follow a steeper slope than this without stepping the fence, you need to order a |"double-punched" section. The square holes in these rails are about twice as wide as in a standard rail to allow for greater picket movement. Consequently, these rails allow a section to drop about 36" over the length of the section. The additional charge for these sections is $9 each ($12 for Regency). Order only as many of these special panels as you need for your job.  Back to Top

Can Jerith make special fence designs? We can manufacture special heights and/or custom designs that are based upon modifications of standard Jerith designs. Each project must be priced individually, so call our Customer Service Department for a quotation. In general, the setup fee ranges from $250 up to $1000 This fee is not subject to a discount.  Back to Top

What if I need a special post? Specially punched posts can be fabricated for an additional $5 per post.
A sketch may be required before these posts can be made. if you need a standard pattern on a longer or shorter post, there is no extra charge as long as the pattern begins at the top of the post (for example: a 58" post punched for 48" high fence). Posts punched from both ends are also subject to a $5 fee per post.  Back to Top

Can I use 2 1/2" posts with my Residential / Ovation / Regency fence? The only way to use these posts with these fence types is to order blank (unpunched) posts and attach the rails of the section to them using the appropriate wall mounts. Our equipment can not punch holes for these fence rails in a 2 1/2" post or Industrial holes in a 2" post.  Back to Top

Can I get touch-up paint to match the factory finish? We supply a small bottle of touch-up paint with most orders to minor cover nicks and damage that may occur in-transit at no charge. There are also cans of spray paint available for purchase. Do not use these air-dry paints to cover large areas because they will weather and fade at a different rate than our Fenccoat powder-coated finish. We can not guarantee these paints for this reason.  Back to Top

Are special colors available? Since we have our own powder-coating line, we can offer a variety of preformulated colors. The additional cost for a special color is 35% of the gross material price plus a $500 setup fee, with a minimum charge Of $1200. No discounts apply to this custom coating fee. Since these colors have not been tested for the same durability as our standard colors, we limit our warranty on special colors to 5 years. To maintain optimum production of Our standard colors, custom colors are only coated from October through March. If a pre-formulated color does not meet your needs, we can custom-match any color for an additional charge. Call our Customer Service Department for a quotation.  Back to Top

How do I attach the fence to a column (or the house)? Use our wall mounts to fasten the rails of the fence to a column. Wall mounts are small aluminum castings which go over the end of a rail and have two holes to attach them to a column or wall. There are two types of wall mounts. The standard ones attach straight onto the column, while our adjustable ones will allow you to come off the column at up to a 45 degrees angle. Wall mounts can also be used on our posts when you need to follow an unusual angle or if you are stepping the fence sections rather than racking them.  Back to Top

What should the spacing be when I am installing between columns? The maximum distance between columns is the standard post spacing times the number of sections between the columns minus the width of one post. For example, if you want to space your columns so that three Residential sections to fit between them, take 3 times the post spacing of 72 1/2" minus one 2" post:
( 3 x 72.5") - 2" = 215.5" or 17' 11 1/2" between columns 
For Industrial Strength fence this opening would need to be: 
( 3 x 71. 5'' ) - 2.5" = 212" or 17' 8" between columns   Back to Top

How do I attach the fence to the deck around a pool? To fasten posts to a concrete slab, we always recommend that you core drill the concrete. If this is not feasible, then you may be able to use our deck mounts. These two-piece aluminum castings fit inside the bottom of a post and secure to the post though the expansion of the two pieces by tightening a bolt. You must supply the four bolts required to attach the deck mount to the concrete itself. DO NOT USE DECK MOUNTS ON FENCES TALLER THAN 4' HIGH
OR FOR GATE POSTS! THEY WILL FAIL!  Back to Top

Can I get Scalloped sections? You can purchase the components for this design and do it yourself. Order ''undrilled'' pickets in our standard lengths and use standard rails. Then you can assemble the parts however you would like. For gates, order standard gated and replace the pickets to match the sections.  Back to Top
