Jerith Patriot Steel Fence Section - 6ga Vertical

The actual width of a section is usually expressed as the installed width, center to center on the posts. The Patriot Ornamental Wire Fence sections require posts being 72" on center. The actual width of the fence section is smaller, the rails fit in rail end brackets attached to the inside of the 2" posts.

Yes, you can mount to a column as well as a post. Patriot fence sections mount to posts using "rail end brackets" that attach to the post and accept the rails of the fence section. The brackets can be mounted to an existing post or column and used in the same manner.

Jerith Patriot Ornamental Wire Fence comes in one color only, Black. Actually this is not true. Special orders can be taken for jobs requiring at least 1000' of fence (167 sections). Please call Hoover Fence Co. for quoting prices and delivery times for these special orders. Based on the design, color, and size of the job, you may be surprised how affordable a custom design or color can be.

Absolutely not! All our fences are designed to be used as fence only. They have not been tested to be used as railing and therefore not warranted for that use. If your deck is at ground level, consider installing the fence next to it in dirt. Under no circumstances should these fences be used for decks or upper story railings.

Yes, all the Patriot style sections are shipped fully assembled. The fence section is welded at all wire intersections and the wire fabric is welded to the rails at every 12" making an extremely strong fence section, ready to install.

Height shown is the installed height from the top rail to the ground leaving 2" between the ground and the bottom rail of the fence section. Posts will extend above the top rail.

The post spacing on the Patriot system is 72" on center. Fence sections are smaller, fitting between the posts.

Welded sections can NOT "rake" (installing sections out of square to follow slope). Fence sections will have to be "stepped" (section tops are staggered to follow slope). Illustration below shows sample of stepping wire fence sections.

The maximum distance between columns is the standard post spacing multiplied by 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 wire fence sections fit between them, take 3 times the post spacing of 72" minus one 2" post:

(3 x 72") - 2" = 214" or 17' 7/8" between columns.

In cases where the fence section attaches to a post at an angle other than 90°, the regular rail end brackets cannot be used. In this case, which is not so rare, adjustable rail end brackets must be used. These brackets can adjust to the angle needed to attach the rails to the post.

It is not abnormal to find a protruding foundation footer, drainage pipe, or other obstruction next to a house or building. There are many ways to go about setting this post in concrete and keeping the post tight to the building. We have resorted to many methods, including welding and building special posts for these applications. When fence posts are made of steel, aluminum, vinyl or other bendable materials, simply bend the post to miss the obstruction. You will need to dig the hole to the proper depth regardless. Usually the post is bent to miss the obstruction and into the alternate hole.

Yes, the 6 gauge vertical styles meet the pool-safe specifications. These styles have verticals set at 1-3/4" to prevent a child from climbing the fence to enter the enclosure. Available in 4', 5' and 6' heights. "Pool-Safe" means the fence meets federal or local pool codes. These codes are designed to keep toddlers out of the swimming area. The specifications for the BOCA pool code is a federal standard. Local pool codes may vary. It's always best to check with your local code before purchasing fence to use as a pool enclosure. You can learn more about pool-safe fence here. Self-closing hinges are a must and are standard on our wire fence gate kits intended for pool enclosures. Child safety latches may be required on the 4' height. The 5' and 6' heights could meet code as long as the standard latch is mounted high enough to keep it out of children's reach.
