Product description and applications: Omega Architectural’s sleek see-through panel confers perimeter control to sites wanting to show-off its surroundings, such as…

- corporate/university campuses, housing projects, healthcare/research facilities : Makes for inviting properties with clean unobstructive security - pools, amusement parks, tennis courts, public parks and playgrounds : Let's you enjoy the sights with your safety in mind - airports, highways, bridges and parking structures: See-through panel promotes perimeter control without the bulkiness

Omega Architectural fence systems come in four standard heights of 4, 5, 6 and 8 feet. Moreover, this modular system can be adapted to fulfill special architectural applications requiring panels as high as 16', swing or sliding gates as well as step-down or turns to accommodate the lay of the land.

The system offers two post types specifically suited for different applications. For those seeking pure fence lines and maximum security, the original profiled post is the most appropriate. However, if you plan to set the fence in an abusive area, our square posts allow for the most cost-effective panel replacement.

Blending to perfection with the surrounding environment, Omega Architectural Fence Systems provide exceptional value from the standpoint of security.

Technical data:The OMEGA Architectural fence systems consist of a rigid panel and post assembly both galvanized and coated for longer wear and increased aesthetic appeal. Unlike chain link there is no need for larger end or corner posts because the panels are self-supporting.

The architectural panels are fabricated from heavy-duty, 6 gauge, 75 000 psi (515 MPa) galvanized steel wire welded into a solid one-piece mesh sheets. Each wire is independent with a breaking load of 2,172 lb. (9665 N). Minimum weld-shear strength is 1,015 lb. (4.449N). The panels come in four standard heights of 4, 5, 6 and 8 feet with 2"x6" mesh openings and evenly spaced reinforcing bends. The panels are galvanized then polyester powder coated. Custom panel sizes or openings are available upon request. Although the panels can be easily trimmed during the installation, there is no weak link and no possible unraveling. Reference: ASTM A 641 (1989), Class I , ASTM A182 and ASTM A185 .

The profile post is available for in-ground or flanged applications. Its design incorporates claw-like panel fasteners. Unlike chain link there is no need for larger end or corner posts because the panels are self-supporting. They are galvanized, cold rolled, 33,000 psi (227 Mpa) steel. The incorporated fastening claws allow for turn at any degree and for installations on uneven surfaces through adjustments in 3" (76 mm) increments. Reference: ASTM A 446 (1987), Grade A, with a G90 coating.

The 2”x 2” or 3” x 3” square posts are available for in-ground or flanged applications. Unlike chain link there is no need for larger end or corner posts because the panels are self-supporting. The posts are cold rolled from 1008 grade steel and meet ASTM 513-00 and ASTM A787-01, G90 zinc coating (galvalume process), then polyester powder coated. Minimum requirement for the 2” x2” post: gauge 16 for 4’H and 5’H panel - gauge 11 for 6’H and 8’H panel.

The heavy duty Universal post bracket kits allow for straight line and 90° turns. For different angles, use the “ Universal angle brackets ” . Both brackets are made of steel hardware and are composed of a collar, wire retaining plate, bolt, washer and tamper-proof nut with a galvanized finish. Special panel fittings (SPF) are available to attach panels to post, wall, floor, ceiling, masonry etc.

A wide selection of gates are available. The swing gates whether single or double, shall be made in accordance with ASTM F900 (1984) and the sliding gates shall be fabricated in accordance with ASTM F1184, Class 2. See gates pictures at the snapshot page of our web site.

Color choices : Standard colors is black. Other optional colors are readily available (for example : textured taupe brown, textured blue, dark green, foliage green, dawn yellow, brown, fog grey, storn grey, pewter grey, white) as well as the optional antique hammer finish (gold, silver, copper).

References: ASTM D 3359 (1990) - Method B/ D 2794 (1990) / B 117 (1990) / D 2247 (1988).

Installation: Installing an OMEGA system is fast and easy. Two experienced installer should be able to set 200' to 250' per day. An installation with profile posts should require only 8-10% more time than with square posts.

To install a fence system using profiled posts simply set the first post, attach a panel, link a second post to the panel, set the second post and continue sequentially. To install the fence system using the square posts simply set the posts in concrete, let dry and fasten the panels. Easy panel replacement.

To impede climbing standard panels come with 1" pickets. Should they not be required, the pickets can be set facing downwards or they can be removed prior to coating the panels.

Panels can be trimmed on the job site as long as zinc primer and touch-up paint is applied to the cut marks.

For the fence to follow slopes, it is required to step the fence sections. The profiled post permit 3" increments . When faced with a steep slope, it will be necessary to order longer posts and panels cut in half as to keep the gap under the panel to a minimum. A very steep slope may require a portion of the panel to be buried but this is only recommended when the manufacturer supplies specially coated panels.
