The defining characteristic of the four grades of Integrity™ Aluminum fences is the size (and shape) of the vertical pickets. There are also optional variations designed to make sure the right fence is available for your unique project! Integrity™ Aluminum fences are perhaps the most versatile aluminum fences on the market today but more importantly, we strive to make your options easy to understand!
Picket Sizes
Each of our fences are constructed using one of four sizes of vertical pickets. Vertical pickets can be purchased separately in any size and color in one foot length increments ranging from 1′ to 6′. We are happy to quote customized lengths.

Extreme™ Fences
Tighten the space between pickets from the standard 3 13/16” and convert any style in the Resort™ or Classic Collections™ into an iFence™ “Extreme”. Closing the gap between pickets to only 1 5/8”, Extreme™ fences make it safe for small animals and add a measure of privacy. Keep in mind that the tight picket spacing is not extended up beyond the middle horizontal rail in any three-rail design. Panels come factory-assembled as “Extreme”. This optional feature cannot be added to previously built panels.

Puppy Pickets™
This feature adds “Extreme” 1 5/8″ spacing only to the bottom section of the fence panel, making it safer for small animals while maintaining the visual appeal of our standard fence styles. Puppy Pickets™ can be added to any style, but keep in mind that this feature adds an additional horizontal rail to secure the extra pickets. These extra pickets come with Nouveau™ peaks but can be converted to Excelsior™ finial, Fleur de Lis finial, ImPress Point™, or flush (which means no speared protrusion above the additional rail). This feature is available for all grades of Integrity™ fence panels and gates. Puppy Pickets™ are 16″ long in all grades but Ultimate™ grade fences, which feature 24″ Puppy Pickets™. This optional feature is factory assembled and cannot be added to previously built panels or gates.

ImPress Point™ Spears
ImPress Point™ spear top fences feature pickets that are compressed, stamped and finished into a decorative point at their peak. The enhanced details of our ImPress Point™ spears is yet more evidence that Integrity™ fences are crafted with quality in mind.

Staggered-height Spear Top
Any spear top fence featuring finial peaks can be ordered with staggered-height pickets, just like the Bella Terra™ style, which comes with pressed point pickets in a staggered configuration. This option can be chosen for any grade or collection. Fence panels come factory-assembled with the staggered-height feature but this option must be specified at time of order.

Nouveau™ Pickets
On pressed point spear top designs, the Nouveau™ picket option eliminates pressed point peaks. Instead, pickets are simply cut and capped with vinyl cap inserts. The Nouveau™ option must be specified at time of order. Panels come factory-assembled with “Nouveau™ pickets” but the vinyl cap inserts can be purchased separately if needed.

Estate Scrolls for Vertical Pickets
Much larger than Butterfly Scrolls, Estate Scrolls are generally used as gate accents or as occasional accents on fence panels. Each double-sided scroll is attached to a picket in the center where it is notched to fit a specific size of picket. The picture at left displays three adjacent Estate Scrolls. Estate scrolls are sold separately and can be added to any fence style. To ensure a proper fit when attached to the vertical pickets, the grade-specific size of the pickets must be specified when this product is ordered. Estate Scrolls are not factory installed by default but can be if specifications are provided at the time of purchase. If a welded attachment is desired (an often selected option when ordered for a gate), there is an upcharge. Size: 16” long by 7” wide (nominal). Available in all standard Integrity™ colors and also in gold.
