FenceTrac's modular fence system builds each panel inside a four-sided galvanized G90 steel, powder-coated frame that holds rigid infill boards from all four edges. Traditional fencing nails or screws individual boards to one face of a horizontal rail. The structural...
FenceTrac is a modular fence system built around standardized, interchangeable components: galvanized G90 steel frame channels, powder-coated steel posts, and rigid infill boards that slide into the frame. The system arrives as pre-engineered parts sized to fit...
FenceTrac's modular frame system accepts any rigid infill material up to 1 inch thick, including four FenceTrac-manufactured infill products and a wide range of third-party materials from natural wood species and engineered boards to metal panels, wire mesh, and...
FenceTrac's galvanized, powder-coated steel fence posts are engineered to maintain their full rated bending strength for the life of the fence, while a standard 4x4 treated Southern Yellow Pine post begins losing structural capacity from the day it goes in the ground....
A galvanized steel frame privacy fence will outlast a wood privacy fence by a significant margin. The difference is not small. It is typically two to three times the functional lifespan, with far less maintenance required along the way. The question most property...
FenceTrac's patented fence system pairs galvanized steel posts with a steel U-channel frame that holds wood, composite, PVC, or aluminum infill boards up to 1 inch thick. Using metal posts with a wood fence eliminates the most common point of failure in traditional...
The direct answer is that most traditional wood fences do not have a wind rating. They are built to local convention rather than a tested structural standard, and their ability to handle high wind depends on a set of variables that are rarely engineered in advance....
FenceTrac's galvanized steel frame system is engineered to resist the most common causes of fence failure in high winds, including post rotation, fastener pullout, infill separation, and ground-line rot. The system was tested to 55.0 psf design wind load and 82.5 psf...
FenceTrac fence posts are spaced based on the panel width selected for the project. For 6-foot wide panel kits, posts are set 72-1/4 inches apart (measured between posts). For 8-foot wide panel kits, posts are set 96-1/4 inches apart. These measurements are critical...
FenceTrac offers Western Red Cedar as an infill option within its galvanized steel frame system, giving buyers the natural wood look with a structural frame that outlasts the wood itself. A standalone wood fence built with wood posts and rails typically lasts 10 to 20...
FenceTrac's HighPlains post and rail fencing system uses 6063-T5 aluminum posts spaced 8 feet center to center. Posts are embedded 2 feet into the ground, leaving either 4 feet or 5 feet of post height above grade depending on the fence height ordered. These spacing...
FenceTrac's aluminum infill and LuxeCore composite infill are both engineered to withstand rain, humidity, UV exposure, salt air, freeze-thaw cycles, and high winds without degradation. When paired with the FenceTrac galvanized steel frame, which carries a 20-year...
FenceTrac's galvanized steel frame and maintenance-free infill options are specifically engineered to resist the two most common causes of fence failure: warping and rot. The system eliminates wood from the structural components entirely, replacing wood posts and...
FenceTrac's LuxeCore composite infill is engineered to last decades. The three-layer construction (aluminum structural core, cellular PVC, and ASA exterior) resists the failure modes that shorten the life of wood and vinyl fences: UV degradation, moisture absorption,...
FenceTrac's galvanized steel frame privacy fence system is engineered to be significantly stronger than conventional wood or vinyl fencing, with third-party test results showing the system withstands a 55.0 psf design wind load and 82.5 psf structural load under ASTM...
FenceTrac was the original patented U-channel steel frame fence system, built around a 3-inch deep galvanized G90 steel top and bottom channel and a 2-inch deep side channel that accepts infill boards up to 1 inch thick. Since FenceTrac established the channel-frame...
FenceTrac is the original patented channel frame modular fencing system, using U-shaped galvanized G90 steel channels to hold rigid infill boards in a four-sided frame that produces a finished, both-sided fence panel. Channel frame fencing is a category of modular...
FenceTrac's fire-rated fencing system carries an ASTM E84-24 Class A fire rating with a Flame Spread Index of 0 and a Smoke Developed Index of 35, tested by QAI Laboratories. The building codes that trigger fire-rated fencing requirements are the International...
FenceTrac builds its frame system from G90 galvanized steel, which carries 0.90 oz of zinc coating per square foot of steel surface. That is the highest standard zinc coating designation for hot-dip galvanized steel used in fencing applications, and it directly...
FenceTrac fence systems are specified under CSI Section 32 31 00 (Fences and Gates) on commercial construction projects where architects and engineers use the MasterFormat system to organize project specifications. This section covers the materials, fabrication,...
FenceTrac's fire-rated fencing system is a full privacy fence. The 6063-T5 aluminum infill boards install in a tongue-and-groove configuration inside the galvanized G90 steel, powder-coated frame, creating a continuous visual barrier with no gaps between boards. The...
FenceTrac's fire-rated fencing system is specified most frequently in commercial construction zones, wildfire-prone regions of the western United States, and municipalities where local fire marshals enforce non-combustible screening requirements near occupied...
FenceTrac gates can accommodate automated openers for both residential and commercial applications. FenceTrac does not manufacture or supply the gate opener, but the gate structure supports aftermarket automation hardware. On custom steel welded gates built by...
FenceTrac publishes standard product specifications, ASTM test reports, material data sheets, and installation documentation on its specifications page, available for immediate download. For project-specific engineering, stamped drawings, or custom submittal packages,...
