Sch40 Round Chain Link Fence Posts and Pipes, Aluminum

Details

Our Aluminum Schedule 40 is a heavy grade material that is suitable for most chain link applications. Material can be used as posts and top rail in conjunction with our other all aluminum fence components to create a chain link fence that will retain its appearance and integrity for years to come. Can be purchased in full lengths or as cut posts for your convenience.

Material is corrosion resistant, light weight, requires little to no maintenance, and is sold in a mill finish. It is used extensively in marine applications, caustic and corrosive environments, and bridgework for both railroad and highway applications. Pipe can be painted or powder-coated to suit the projects needs.

Terminal posts for chain link fence are typically 36" longer than the height of fence being installed for commercial, i.e. a 6' high fence has 9' long terminal posts. Chain link line posts are typically 2-1/2' longer than the height of fence being installed for commercial, i.e. a 6' high fence has 8'6" long line posts. Check your local building codes and practices for proper installation.

Instructions

Post length does not always correspond with footer depth. The footer should extend below the post to frost depth. A commercial fence with line posts 8-1/2' long would provide about 2'9" below ground. In many northern climates, the frost depth could be 3' or more. Pour footers to that frost depth and suspend the post in the concrete. This can be accomplished simply by pouring the concrete into the hole first and sticking the post to depth immediately afterward. With a proper concrete mix, the post will not require bracing to stay at the proper height.

Fantastic Customer Service

Reviewer: A viewer from Ohio

All I needed was two 12' lengths of aluminum sch40, but Chad took the time to answer all my questions, and showed me a number of different products that might fit my use case. I really appreciated all the time spent with me, despite such a small order.
