Who is Bullhead Fence

The first order of business is to let you know that all of us at BullHead Fence want your business and we expect to earn it. We know that you work hard for your money and we will work hard to provide good service and the best product your money can buy.

We have been in business building iron fences for the largest homes and companies throughout the U.S. for over 10 years. Our fences are known for their quality, durability (100+ years) and magnificence. Our craftsmen have protected the techniques that have been used to build the fences that have surrounded many homes and cemeteries for over a century and remain magnificent to this day.

It is the objective of Bullhead Fence to provide our customers with a fence of such quality and integrity that it will hold up to the abuse of weather, children, and the general use expected, and be solid for the life of the structure it protects. Our iron fences can be found in place around both new and old homes alike. All our fences and gates are built from solid steel. Unlike the tubular material used today for many fences that appear to be iron fences, but deteriorate from the inside out, our solid product has a proven life span of over 100 years. Being a solid product, the abuse that would destroy many of the PVC and tubular fences seen today, have no effect of a solid iron fence. Yet, as a result of the automation BullHead fence has developed, all the advantages of this superior solid 100+ year iron fence can be purchased, in many cases, for less that PVC and tubular fence products.

Installation

Our fencing is designed to be welded or bolted together. The average person with limited tools can install a bolt-together fence. Complete instructions are available under the instruction tab and you can download the instruction manual.

Materials

The rails for BullHead fence are made from 1 ¼” x ½” x 1/18” solid bar channel iron. Round holes are punched on the channel iron. Solid 1/2” round bar pickets (12mm) are pressed through the channel and forged in place on the under side of the channel, so as to leave the forge marks unseen.

Finials are of two types of construction. Either type is available. One is a forged serpentine finial that is forged directly on the end of each picket. The second is one of two different cast iron finials that are attached with a setscrew to a plain picket.

All parts of the fence which include the fence panels, post, gates, brackets, and finials are coated with an exclusive long-lasting, space-age protective coating, which unlike powder coating, used on low-end tubular steel and aluminum panels, can be easily touched up if that need should arise.

Warranty

There is a lifetime warranty on all materials and workmanship.

Fence Panels

Panels are 100% solid steel. Pickets are available with a one-piece forged serpentine finial or plain. Cast iron finials with setscrews are available for plain pickets and require no welding. Fence rails are 1 ¼ in. x ½ in. x 1/8 in. Bar Channel. The pickets are 12 mm (1/2”) Solid Round Bar.

The space from the center picket to the center of the next picket is 4 3/8 inches. The space between pickets is 3 7/8 inches.

All Panels are forged together and are rigid. Model 500 Series fence (picket only fence) may be racked in the field to accommodate a grade of about 2 inches per foot.

All cast iron finials are available for panels without serpentine forged pickets. The cast iron finals are pre-painted and come with setscrews. The same applies to post caps and fence panel-mounting brackets.

All fence panels are 94 inches long. The fence panels are available in heights of 46 inches, 58 inches, and 70 inches. The 70-inch fence panel comes with three rails. The other panels have two.

Gates

Gates come with easy swing hinges and latches.

Each gate has a standard width of 44 inches and is available in heights of 46 inches, 58 inches, and 70 inches. The 70-inch gate has three rails instead of the two used on the shorter gates.

Each gate has a welded on side bar of 1 ¼ inch x 3/8 inch flat bar steel. The gates can be ordered with upgraded forged scrolls on the end sidebars by adding a “U” to the part number of the gate ordered. All pickets in the gates are forged in place and welded on the underside of the rails. The gate rails are 1 ¼ in. x ½ in. x 1/8 in Bar Channel.

Fence Posts

Fence posts are available in two heights, 72 inches and 96 inches. It is recommended that the 72 inch high post be used for the 4-foot high fence. In this configuration, 2 inches are left between the button of the fence and the ground to make it easer to trim under the fence and 24 inches of the post are imbedded in concrete. All of the posts are made of 14-gage steel (0.0747 inches on averages) and the 72-inch post is 2 inches square.

The 96-inch posts are available in 2 inch. The 2 1/2-inch post is used with the 58-inch and 70 inch fence segments normally. The 2-1/2 inch post is normally used with the 70-inch fence segments.

When the 96-inch post is used with the 58-inch fence segment, there must be at least 24 inches in the ground surrounded by concrete. Depending on the preference of the customer, this could be up to 36 inches. In the case of 70 fence segments there must be 24 inches in the ground surrounded by concrete.

The holes that are dug to hold the post should be about 6 inches in diameter and a minimum of 24 inches deep. These holes should be filled with concrete once the post is inserted. It is further recommended that the post themselves be filled with concrete, and as they are filled, they should be taped to ensure that the air is forced out of the post as they are filled. The process of felling the post may be left until the concrete in the hole has hardened so that the vertical alignment of the post is not affected. This will substantially increase the strength of the post and its longevity.

Caution: Before permanently putting the posts in place with the concrete, test the position with the Fence segments in place with the fence brackets (if used). Also be sure you use a level on both sides of the post to ensure that each post is perfectly straight and the post sides are perfectly aligned with each other. If the posts are filled with concrete be sure the concrete is level with the top of the post, and be sure to clean the outside of the post BEFORE the concrete dries

Once the posts are in place and the concrete is dry, if used, the caps can be placed on the post. There are two different post caps available. There is a flat post cap and a cap with a ball on top.
