BUILDERS FENCE COMPANY, INC. 
BFC GATE SPECIALISTS COMMERCIAL / RESIDENTIAL Builders Fence Company specializes in custom gate configurations.

For ADA compliant installations BFC modifies their pedestrian gates for all types of lever locks, panic bars, and hydraulic closers. Arched Estate gates from Builders Fence Co. are accessorized with either standard scrolls and picket castings or highly decorative forgings and ornaments manufactured by popular U.S. Foundries. BFC GATES All gates are available to match the fence style selected or in a variation of
the style to accommodate additional functional or decorative features. 
AUTOMATED GATES For over 20 years BFC has been a distributor for many leading gate operator manufacturers. This experience makes BFC expert at supplying gates for automated installations. Picket spaces are easily reduced or steel mesh provided for additional safety. BFC also supplies continuous duty gate hardware for high traffic access areas. 
CUSTOM CANTILEVER ROLLING GATE SECURITY GATES & HARDWARE With security becoming an integral element in the design of new commercial, industrial and residential buildings, ornamental iron is assuming an increasingly important role. Recognizing the need for security barriers that not only provide efficient protection, but are also attractively designed. BFC manufactures and distributes a full line of "security" ornamental iron and related hardware. 
HIGH SECURITY EXTRA HEAVY DUTY APPLICATIONS Builders Fence Co. is able to supply fencing and gates designed by engineers and architects to safeguard military and airport type facilities. These types of fences incorporate unusually large and heavy gauge posts, rails and pickets. They may also require the installation of wire mesh or expanded metal to make unauthorized entry of these sites more difficult. Please contact a BFC specialist for assistance to help develop specifications for your projects. 
DESIGN VARIATIONS Beautify with Elegant Variations Available in residential and commercial grades. We will gladly modify any of our styles to accommodate your particular problems or designs, or we will fabricate an entirely new look based on your own specifications.

BOTTOM TRACK CANTILEVER GATE SYSTEM Cantilever Gate Specifications Example: All items are galvanized and recommended finish is applied with matching colors to choose. System Components:
INSTALLATION VARIATIONS Elevation Changes Elevation changes require a post. In other words, a level fence that starts up or down a slope must have a post where the slope starts and ends. Likewise, if a fence changes height (as in step height changes), there must be a post at the point of each height change. Note any slope the fence must cross. Is it uphill or downhill? Attachment Point out any place the fence will attach to existing posts, walls or structures and note how the fence is to be attached. Indicate what is to be attached to and the location for the attachment. Pilasters For pilasters further than 8' apart, a center leg may be put in the middle for support. If the distance is more than 10' between pilasters, or the fence is greater than 5' in height, it is recommended that a post be used in the center. Special Situations List any special conditions that might need consideration such as children or small dogs. 
Bias Panels Bias panels are made on an angle to match the ground contours. Such a panel is used when the customer does not want the fence to step or when over the length of the panel, there is more than a 4" drop (for Regal, Napoleon or Empire styles) and more than a 2" drop (for Aristocrat and Modern styles) in question. Measure the length of the biased panel to the next foot and be sure to include a post at the top and the bottom of the bias. Include the dimensions shown in the illustration to the right. 
Tapered Panels Tapered panels allow for a fence with a level top line while adjusting for changes in ground elevation, Be sure to note the height of both ends of the tapered panel as viewed from outside the fence line. 
Curved or Arched Panels Curved panels are used to soften a corner or to match an existing design or to create a soft flowing fence line. Be sure to include the measurements indicated by the illustration to the right. Show dimensions on the plan if curved panel and on the elevation if arched panel. 
Notches A notch is a situation where a corner of a gate or a panel is cut out to facilitate installation around a low wall, or other small obstacle the fence will have to fit around. Fully describe any cut outs in the fence.
