Jerith’s technologically-advanced powder coating system allows us to produce a high quality, long-lasting finish which is also environmentally friendly. When applied to a Jerith fence, FencCoat is twice the thickness and hardness of a typical acrylic (or “wet paint”) finish. Consequently, it is far more durable, fade-resistant, and scratch-resistant than other coatings.

Since its introduction in North America almost 40 years ago, powder coating has become the fastest growing finishing technology. Powder coating contains no solvents and therefore emits negligible amounts of volatile organic compounds (VOC’s) into the atmosphere. Wet paints, however, cause severe pollution, both through the emission of VOC’s when they are cured and by the generation of excess paint which is considered a hazardous waste. In addition, Jerith’s aluminum is prepared for its FencCoat finish with an environmentally safe pretreatment, unlike most wet paints.

To prove the durability of our powder coating, we have tested it extensively. FencCoat endured 3,000 hours of harsh salt-spray and humidity resistance, as well as 5 years of continuous exposure in Florida. Other aluminum fence manufacturers have performed similar tests on their own coatings, yet they only survived 1,000 hours of salt-spray and humidity testing and 1 year of Florida exposure (as stated in their literature). That is why we are confident enough to guarantee that our FencCoat finish will last for as long as you own your Jerith aluminum fence.

Jerith Pool Code Aluminum Fence

jerith one
Jerith fence is the perfect choice to surround your swimming pool. Its aluminum construction eliminates rust, while its durable FencCoatTM finish withstands the moisture and chemicals found in a pool environment. Most building codes require swimming pools to have self- closing and self-latching gates around them. These safety features are standard on all Jerith walk gates. In addition, our pickets have less than 4” between them, so children cannot squeeze through.

Our Ovation Fence designs, including Bravo and Symphony, were specifically designed to meet a Swimming Pool Enclosure Code developed by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC). These fences have nearly four feet of space between their two horizontal rails. This virtually eliminates the possibility of a small child climbing over this fence. Also, a child-resistant magnetic gate latch is standard on all Ovation, Bravo and Symphony gates. This magnetic latch keeps the release mechanism out of a child’s reach and has a built-in keylock for added security. It is also available as an option for all other Jerith gate styles.

The chart on the right shows all of the Jerith fence styles and heights that meet the CPSC Pool Code. You will notice that there are a few “Modified” designs that are altered specifically to meet the Pool Code (These altered styles are shown below.) For 54” high Modified Styles #200, #211 and #202, the only variation from the standard designs is that 100 the pickets do not extend below the bottom rail. Our 57” tall fences combine this same

picket change with a narrowing of the gap between the top two rails, which allows our 57” Modified Styles #101, #111, and Concord to have at least 45” between the rails as the Pool Code requires.

Be sure to verify the requirements for swimming pool fencing in your area before ordering. There is a Jerith fence to meet nearly every code. Select the one that’s right for you!

Through extensive research and testing, Jerith has developed an aluminum alloy called HS-35. This remarkable material has the strength of steel without the rust!

Our HS-35 Alloy has a minimum yield strength of 35,000 pounds per square inch (psi), which is significantly higher than the 25,000-33,000 psi strength found in most steel fences. Even more impressive is Jerith’s advantage over other aluminum fences, which have yield strengths of only 16,000 psi.

Every post and rail in Jerith aluminum fences is extruded from our exclusive HS-35 Alloy. While some aluminum fence manufacturers claim to use similar alloys, they seldom use it in both their posts and rails like we do. In addition, Jerith is the only manufacturer that uses a high strength alloy in its pickets. Our pickets are over 50% stronger than any other aluminum fence. We don’t cut corners on the strength of our products!

An independent testing laboratory has proven that a typical Jerith Residential Fence can support over 350 pounds per section without any structural failure and our Industrial fence can hold over 1,000 pounds!

With strength like this, Jerith fences will certainly satisfy your fencing needs for years to come.

The industry name for HS-35 is 6005-T5.

Aluminum fence alloy 6005-T5 is the standard makup of aluminum that is industry standard. Aluminum extrusions for your fence of Alloy 6005-T5 with minimum yield strength of 35,000 PSI. But what makes up 6005-T6?

My phone is always ringing off the hook and one the questions I get a lot is “how do I know I am going to actually receive a real Jerith fence?”.
