Berkshire Aluminum Fence

The Berkshire style of aluminum fence by Specrail provides both beauty and security.  An elegant design with staggered spear points across the top; it is used in a variety of applications such as defining residential property lines, light commercial situations and industrial use to deter illegal entry into your business or property.  More decorative Quad-Flair or Tri-Ad Finials can be added to the top of the pickets for an even more unique appearance.  The Berkshire style of aluminum fence is a great choice in any location where a fence is needed and it will add an elegance that you can be proud of.

The Berkshire aluminum fence is available in four different grades:  residential, residential wide, commercial and industrial.  Click here to read what grade is best for your application:  http://www.fence-depot.com/fence-guide/choosing-the-best-grade-of-aluminum-fence/ The residential grade is the most common and used in most residential applications.  The residential wide grade gives a bigger, bolder look than the residential without the higher cost of the heavier systems.  The commercial grade Berkshire fence gives you the option of 6’ and 8’ wide sections and is best used as estate fencing as well as in apartment complexes, schools, churches or cemeteries.  The industrial grade of the Berkshire aluminum, like the commercial grade, is available in 6’ and 8’ wide sections.  It uses heavy gauge aluminum extrusions for high visibility and a substantial appearance.  Industrial is the best choice for high traffic public areas.

There are also different options for the tops of the pickets for the Berkshire aluminum fence.  The pressed spear is the standard option and is the most common because of its lower price.  The pressed spear can most simply be described as taking the top of the square picket and pinching it into a point.  For a more elegant look, you can choose to add the Quad-Flair or Tri-Ad Finials for an additional cost.  Another option would be to have the tops of the pickets flat cut.  This means that the vertical pickets would still extend up past the top horizontal rail but they would not be pointed at the tips.  You could keep this look or add a decorative picket top of your choice at a later time.

The Berkshire aluminum fence is not usually advertised as a “pool fence”.  But it can definitely be modified to meet any pool code.  So if you prefer to have your aluminum pool fence to have staggered spear points across the top you can just give us a call and we can help you be sure your aluminum fence is up to code.

When looking at aluminum fencing, the Berkshire aluminum fence is a great way to beatify your property while adding security as well.  It’s an ideal option for those that want to add some uniqueness to their property.  And of course it is maintenance free.  Don’t hesitate to call the fence professionals at Fence-Depot.com at (800) 760-5170 to discuss using our Berkshire aluminum fence or any of our other styles of aluminum fence.

Aluminum Railing Options

Fence-Depot.com offers a diverse line of aluminum deck/porch railings that are specifically designed for decks, porches and balconies.  Our aluminum railing systems utilize the highest quality aluminum extrusions and castings with several designs to choose from.  This article aims to explain the different modifications that are available when choosing your maintenance free aluminum railing system for your deck, porch or balcony.

Our most popular aluminum railing is the Avon series.  The most basic design is a 36” high by 8’ wide section that has 2 horizontal rails.  The top horizontal rail is 2.5” wide and has a rounded shape called “breadloaf” since a cross-section view resembles a loaf of bread.  The bottom horizontal rail is 1 5/8” x 1 5/8” and the vertical pickets are 1” square.  The 36” high is the most common height but 42” is a standard height as well.  Custom heights are also available.  These aluminum railing sections can be modified in a variety of ways.  Instead of using the “breadloaf” top rail, a square top rail can be substituted in its place.  This gives a more contemporary appearance and it comes at a reduced cost.  A third rail can be added to the railing section for another design.  This third rail is added about 7” below the top rail and that top rail can be either the “breadloaf” design or the square design.  The 8’ wide section is most common but 10’ wide sections are also available.  The standard colors available are Black, White and Bronze.

The Bridgeport is another option in aluminum railing.  The Avon and Bridgeport lines look very similar from a distance but the Bridgeport is a concealed fastener system.  Meaning there are no visible screws.   This creates a very clean appearance.  All of the specifications, colors and options in the Avon series of aluminum railing are also available with the Bridgeport.

An exciting new addition to the aluminum railing line offered by Fence-Depot.com is the Canton In-Fill system for ¼” glass.  This aluminum railing is sold as a component system.  The components consist of the 2.5” wide “breadloaf” top horizontal rail and the square bottom horizontal rail, aluminum inserts that fit inside the horizontal rails and polycarbonate flexible tubing gaskets that fit inside the aluminum inserts.  The ¼” glass is not part of this system and must be purchased separately by the consumer.  Standard colors for this aluminum railing system are Black, White and Bronze.

Aluminum railing is a great choice for your deck, porch or balcony because it is maintenance free, has a lifetime warranty, and has multiple designs and colors to choose from.  Please call one of the fence professionals at Fence-Depot.com at (800) 760-5170 with any questions about our aluminum railing systems or for help with a quote.  We’re always happy to help.
