Aluminum fencing can serve a variety of heavy-duty purposes for commercial businesses. This type of fencing is very versatile and durable, offering numerous options for color, length and durability since aluminum fencing resists rust and holds painted-on colors well.
Business owners and homeowners alike often choose to install their own aluminum fencing with pre-fabricated options. However, it is possible to fabricate aluminum fence posts using some raw materials and basic tools. Does this Spark an idea?
Instructions
1. Cut aluminum post tubing to the proper length using the aluminum saw. Posts for aluminum fencing usually span at least 2 feet beyond the length of the actual fence. Cut as many posts as needed for the fence configuration.
2. Separate the posts into designated corner posts, end posts and line posts. Corner posts have holes in two adjacent sides, end posts have holes in just one side, and line posts have holes in two opposite sides.
3. Drill holes in the aluminum fence posts to correspond with the fencing, drilling holes based on whether the posts are corner, end or line.
4. Dig holes at least 2 feet deep to accommodate the posts. Starting with the first post hole, fill with concrete and insert the post, allowing the concrete to set. Repeat with each hole.
