Iron Hoop and Picket Style Fence<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

 <\/p>\n

Now that we are stocking our iron Hoop and Picket fence, I wanted to do a quick post to go over some specific notes that pertain to this new style of iron fence we offer.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Trimming Hoop and Picket Panel Widths<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

Like all of our styles of iron fence, we utilize a cast iron bracket and self tapping screw to attach the panel to the post.\u00a0 Not only does this allow for a no-welding installation of the fence panel, but it also allows you to trim the panels to widths shorter than the 8ft wide the panels are made in.\u00a0 However, unlike our other styles of iron fence, that arching hoop over the finial tips means you cannot trim in as small of an increment as our Classic, Pool and Puppy Picket Styles.\u00a0 Below is the rendering of our 4ft tall x 8ft wide Stronghold Iron Hoop and Picket fence panel.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

As you can see, the panel retains our standard 3.875in air gap between pickets to meet code.\u00a0 However, that hoop is one unbroken piece from side to side.\u00a0 That means a full hoop with railing sticking out on each side for brackets is 17 inches.\u00a0 You could probably go slightly tighter at 15 inches, but no less than that.\u00a0 So when planning your fence layout, make sure that any cut sections will work for you in 15-17 inch increments.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

No Arched Walk Gates<\/span><\/h3>\n

One of the favorite upgrades on our walk gates is to utilize and arched top style to set the gate off from the fence line.\u00a0 With Hoop and Picket iron gates, we cannot do an arched version.\u00a0 If you look at the rendering of our gate below:<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

There really is no clean way to arch the gate with those hoops.\u00a0 We’ve tried in the past to deform the hoop shape into an arch and the outcome was not something we were happy with.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

May Not Conform to Pool Code<\/span><\/h3>\n

We get a lot of folks that like to use our iron fence around pools.\u00a0 Many of our styles in various heights will meet code, but that is heavily dependent on what your local code calls for.\u00a0 The panels in our tallest 4ft height will not meet the 45in handhold-to-foothold restriction in national BOCA pool code.\u00a0 The gates also have wider than 4in gaps on the gates between the last picket and the gate frame.\u00a0 Those two items will typically make the fence and gates not pass pool inspection<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In Conclusion…<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n
