STRATCO EZI-FENCE DESIGN GUIDE
Q: Can you cut down the frames and slat?
A: Yes, the product is made from aluminum so it is easy to
cut. All you require is a drop saw with an aluminum cutting
blade.
Q: Is the product durable and will it stand the test of time?
A: Yes, aluminum is an extremely durable metal, especially
in coastal conditions. As an example, it is used to make boat
pontoons which sit in and on the water.
Q: Can you adjust the height and or the width of the fence
panel?
A: Yes, this is very easy to do:
Width
– Simply cut the top and bottom frame and punched
channels to the required length.
Height
– Simply cut the vertical uprights (pickets) to the
required length making sure to take into account the section
that will be inserted into the top and bottom rails.
Q: Can the panel be installed on an angle?
A: Yes, the panel can be installed on an angle up to 12°.
Please refer to the video for an illustration of this.
Q: Why would I buy this product over a traditional timber
fence?
• Aluminum will not crack, split or warp.
• The powdercoat finish provides a long lasting color finish
that does not require regular repainting.
• Aluminum is easily recyclable.
• Aluminum is non-combustible (fire retardant).
• Aluminum is corrosion resistant - minimal maintenance
required.
• Aluminum is light weight and easy to work with.
• Aluminum is not affected by termites.
• Aluminum is freeze and frost resistant.
Q: What is the powder coat warranty and what do I need to
do to ensure longevity?
A: Akzo Nobel provide us a 10-year warranty on the
powder coat finish - providing specific conditions are met.
Maintenance is very simple and involves ensuring that
grime, salt, organic material, bird droppings are removed
and the product is cleaned with a mild detergent and water
contaminants are observed.
Q: What gate hardware is recommended for the Ezi-Fence
Gate kit?
A: We recommend the D&D technologies Lokk Latch Deluxe
and Tru–close Heavy Duty Hinges. You can use other
similar gate hardware that is readily available from reputable
hardware businesses.
Q: Can you adjust the height and width of the gate?
A: Yes, the height and width can be adjusted in the same way
as is done with the fence panel.
Q: Do I need to purchase an Ezi-Fence post?
A: If you already have your own posts or another similar
structure that you want to attach the panel to then you do
not need to purchase an Ezi-Fence post. Refer to previous
examples for further details.
Q: Do I need to purchase a base plate kit?
A: If you purchase an Ezi-Fence post and intend to install the
post onto an existing deck, pavement, or similar, then you
will need a base plate kit. If you will be installing the post into
a concrete footing then you will not need a base plate kit.
Q: Do I need to purchase a bracket kit?
A: Yes, a bracket kit is essential to install every panel kit. A
bracket kit is not required to install a gate.
Q: Can I leave soil and mulch in direct contact with the
screen once it has been installed?
A: Soil and mulch should not be left in contact with the
product as this may cause the finish of the product to rapidly
deteriorate. If installing the post into a concrete footing, the
post must be painted with a bituminous paint to assist with
corrosion resistance. The top of the footing must be sloped
to encourage water to drain away from the post.
