When it comes to installing a cast aluminum fence, it is totally different and one of the big differences between ZheJiang DongrunCasting Industry Co,.Ltd is that the aluminum posts are specialized to serve a specific function and zone.

There are 5 types of specialized aluminum post that could be used in installation. They are Line, End, Corner, Gate End and Blank posts. Before we go through each specialized post, I wanted to show you how to identify the post without the fence installed.

That punched area of the post is where your cast aluminum fence panel rail will install. You will also note that post punches are shaped to match the rail, unlike to competitors that just put a big square punch in the post. We are focusing to a cleaner view that why we do it and gives a tighter connection, but when we get some bugs or error we also to keep bugs like nesting wasps & yellow jackets from turning your fence post into a colony of stinging bugs.

So now that you know where to look to identify the type of specialized aluminum post, let’s look at each one individually.

End Post

An end post can have punched holes on one face of the post, because the name denotes, this post would be detached at an end on your layout like up against your house or where the fence ends when going in a straight line. Therefore the fence would only make one connection to an end post.

Line Post

A line post is going to be punched on 2 opposite sides of the post. You will usually see line posts in the middle of your fence run. You’ll be able to consider them as your ‘in-between’ post as they will always be in-between corners and ends of your fence layout. A line post can continuously have 2 fence connections.

Corner Post

A corner post will have adjacent punches in ninty degrees from each other. The will be used to turn your Cast aluminum fence line and send it in a new direction. A corner posts can continuously have 2 fence connections

Gate End Post

As with the Gate End post we have a tendency to began with, the post is only punched on one side. However, the distinction between an End post and a Gate End post is thickness & purpose. The Gate finish post is sort of doubly as thick and serious as a typical finish post. If you choose both up, there will be no misunderstanding one for the other. The Gate End post is thicker because we are going to hang our gates off them.

Blank Post

Lastly, This is a Blank post. It’ referred to as a blank post, because unlike the other cast aluminum fence posts it has no punches on any face of the post.
