Italia-100 Fencing

Material:

Electrofused steel S235JR.

Framing and fixing:

The panels are framed on two sides with flat bars. This flat bar projects behind the louvre to provide a fixing zone for a bolted panel-to post-connection.

Orientation:

Fences are generally designed with horizontal louvres and with the louvre blades sloping downwards on the outside of the enclosed area.

Installation:

• Fastenings: Panels fixed to posts with stainless steel bolts with domed heads and snap-off security nuts, all stainless steel grade A2.

• Groundwork: Refer to BS 1722 giving consideration to existing ground conditions. Posts to be set in holes 300 to 400 mm square in plan and between 550 and 700 mm in depth, depending on fence height. Holes should be completely filled to a minimum of 50 mm below ground level with concrete mix (minimum strength of C20).

• Height from ground: Panels to sit 100 mm (maximum) off ground.

• Changes in level: Fence panels stepped to 150 mm (maximum) on standard length post. Post centres to be reduced for steeper gradients (between 1:20 and 1:7).

• Changes in direction: 60 x 60, 80 x 80 or 100 x 100 mm SHS or RSA for 90 degree corner post. Composite flat bar posts for other angles.

Product reference:

Italia-100 Vertical is designed with vertical louvres. This provides a variable degree of visual screening depending on the angle of view.

• Panel heights: 930–2500 mm.

• Panel width: 1992 mm.

• Post: 100 x 55 mm I-section.

Panel:

Fence heights of 2479 mm and above are supplied as two panels which stack together. Non-standard heights and widths fabricated upon request.

Posts:

Alternative lengths and style of post:

• For ground fixing.

• With base plates for fixing to a concrete foundation.

• Off-set over top of wall.

• For anchoring within wall pockets.

Finishing:

Polyester powder coating is a multi-stage process which applies thermo-setting resins producing a superior finish to painting.
