Measuring your Jerith Fence
| Please use
this document to figure out how much material your install will require.
To do this you will need a long tape measure and some marking stakes.
In the below blue print, you will see this job will require 48' ft along the back and sides. Measuring out from the house, the front of the fence is 15'ft from each side.
The standard fence section is 6' ft long. When figuring out how many section( pannels) you will need, just divide your measurement by 6. In this case we will need 8 sections along the back and 8 sections along the right side. 48'ft / 6 = 8 section As you will notice the left side has a double gate. A double gate is two gates mounted side by side forming a large opening. (for bringing in large lawn mowers) This example calls for two 3' ft gates, together measuring a 6' wide opening. We will subtract the gate width from our left side measurement of 48' ft. 48' ft - 6'ft of gates = 42'ft of fence sections required on the left side. This would come out to 7 sections. The front of the fence measures 15'ft from each side of the house. Since fence sections only comes in 6ft widths. You will have to cut at least one section to get your desired length on the smaller section.
We recommend buying one complete section for each section you cut. Select Posts There are 4 types of posts.
4" Inch Gate Posts
Most of Jerith's standard aluminum fence sections can follow the contour of the ground. This is called either raking or racking. The fences drop about one foot over the 6' length of a section. If a greater slope is needed, sections can be specially fabricated as "double-punched sections" to traverse a 45 degree angle. Patriot Fence and Regency "Plus" styles can not rake at all, while Concord, Lexington, and 400 Series fence can only rake about 6 inches over their length. Next we will determine how many posts you will need. On the right side, We have 8 sections which means we will need 7 line posts. We will also need one corner post for the right front corner. On the left side, We have 7 sections plus two gates forming a double gate. So we will need two gate posts, 6 line posts, and one corner post for the left front corner On the front left side, we have 2 section and one gate. We can not use the (Number of Section) - (1) = (Line Posts) formula because there is no point on the front left side where two sections connect to each other forming a straight line. In the above blue print, we will need 2 gate posts for the gate and one end posts where the fence stops at the house. On the front right side, we have 3 sections. Here we can use the (Number of Section) - (1) = (Line Posts) formula. So we have 3 sections which means we need 2 line posts. We will also need one end post where the fence stops on the right side of the house. For the above example Job you would order: Things to Remember
