There are several reasons why a customer may not want to mount to one of our fence posts.\u00a0 Perhaps they have existing posts from another fence, some type of masonry pillar they want to use or its just a decision of overall design.\u00a0 Regardless of the reasons, you can absolutely mount your panels to something other than our fence posts.\u00a0 We have had many customers mount our fence panels to treated or painted wood 4×4’s, brick pillars, stucco pillars and directly to brick or stucco house siding. \u00a0You can also hang them on fascia stone or an uneven stone surface, but extra consideration will need taken on those due to the surface being uneven.\u00a0 That is not to say you cannot make it work, but you may need to grind or chisel flat spots into the stone.<\/p>\n

For our wrought iron fence, the only additional item you will need to determine and source on your own is the method of securing the bracket.\u00a0 Our standard iron brackets can mount to any flat surface.\u00a0 Instead of us supplying a steel self-tapping screw, you will need to source an applicable screw such as a wood lag screw for a wood post or a masonry lag screw for brick or stone.<\/p>\n

For the aluminum fence, you will need to make sure you let us know that you are not mounting to one of our aluminum posts.\u00a0 The aluminum fence does not utilize brackets in a standard installation since they slide inside the post punch and are secured that way.\u00a0 Don’t fret though.\u00a0 We carry an array of aluminum brackets that work in the same manner as our iron ones.<\/p>\n

While fence panels are not an issue for mounting to something other than their standard posts, gates can be another matter.\u00a0 Unlike a fence panel that is mounted a stationary, a gate moves and exerts leverage force on its post.\u00a0 That doesn’t mean you cannot mount a gate to a wood, brick or stucco pillar.\u00a0 However, we recommend calling us with your setup to discuss what you are hanging the gate on.\u00a0 A simple yard gate may be no issue, but a large yard or driveway gate needs to have some items taken into consideration such as material we are mounting to, how well its anchored (buried) and what’s underneath.\u00a0 A solid wood 6×6 has much more strength to it than a hollow pillar with a brick facade.<\/p>\n
