Rackable Fences are a kind of popular fence style in the United States. The main reason for this is that it typically solves the very common and challenging practical problem facing in the country, namely, how to install fences quickly, beautifully, and economically on the uneven natural slopes.
In American suburban areas, residential buildings are constructed according to the terrain. If choosing to install structurally fixed welded fences on slopes, it will turn out to be two undesirable conditions: either the slope is “cut off” abruptly to level it, or they are installed like a “step-like” manner, causing ugly triangular gaps at the bottom.
To be better apt to the sloping, Rackable Fences come out. The distinctive feature of rackable fence lies in its adaptability. The horizontal rails and vertical pickets are connected by U-shaped grooves, rather than being fixed rigidly. So when installing, the fences panels could be titled as a whole like a blinds, perfectly fitting the natural angle of the slop, thereby bringing many significant advantages.
Visual harmony and beauty.
Unlike the rigid and fragmented stepped fences, the rackable fences could form a continuous and smooth line, both on the top and the bottom, gracefully adapting to the terrain undulations, significantly enhancing the overall aesthetic appeal and value of the property. Our adjustable angle reaches to 30 degree theoretically and even reach more around 45 degree on real installation situation.
Risk-reducing and Pet protection.
The fence bottom could be extended or not extended, both two designs that are close to the ground eliminates the large gaps at the bottom of the fence, which could effectively prevents pets or children from crawling underneath, and also prevents small animals such as rabbits and raccoons from entering into the yard at will.
Efficient installation and Cost savings.
As a modular and prefabricated products, its installation process is quick and simple, just like assembling building blocks. It could be completed by simply using bolts and clips, without the need for complex measurement, cutting, and welding on site. This not only lowers the technical requirements for fence installers, but also significantly shortens the construction period and saves the labor costs.
Premium durability and low-maintenance.
The rackable fence are manufactured from high quality steel tube and aluminum alloy and they are coated with advanced powder coating technology with AkzoNobel Power, which could realize excellent resistance to rust, corrosion and UV fading. We could offer 15 to 20 year warranty. And in the same time, unlike wood fences, both steel rackable fence and aluminum rackable fence require almost no daily maintenance.
Due to its combination of practicality, aesthetics and economy, rackable fence becomes a highly favored solution for fences both in residential and commercial areas in the United States.
