Questions & Answers
Can I mount an outdoor TV to this?
Hi Alyssa and thanks for reaching out. Yes, some customers have done it in the past, but please make sure to correctly anchor your posts on a reinforced wood deck or concrete slab, and our structure will definitely hold the weight. Thank you and please have a wonderful day. HOFT Team.
How or why are you using aluminum in concrete ?
Hi Daniel and thanks for reaching out. All our HOFT posts are made of quality, weather resistant, powder-coated black 2mm thick quality 100% aluminum so they will never rust or corrode and with a 5-year warranty, so no worries when installed in concrete. Thank you and please have a wonderful day. HOFT Team.
Can I use 1 inch tongue and groove boards so there is no gap for the horizontal fence?
Hi Jason and thanks for reaching out. Yes, you can use a 1 inch tongue in groove board, but if they are not 1'' thick finished, please reduce the distance between posts to 5-feet maximum to avoid warping over time and please use the included Section Bracket on the top of your last board to solidify your installation. Thank you and please have a wonderful day. HOFT Team.
We purchased the 96 inch post horizontal fencing kit and composite wood. Why do you need to put spacers down the middle of fence?
Hi Judy and thanks for reaching out. If you purchased our HOFT 1'' Composite boards they come with black aluminum central connectors for long-lived composite board stability. You can insert connectors standing vertically where you need 1/2'' spacing and lying horizontally when you need full privacy. Repeat these steps until panel is completed. Thank you and please have a wonderful day . HOFT Team.
Are the rail blocks the things that are used to keep the bottom boards from touching the ground? Is the bottom height adjustable to any height from the bottom that you need?
Hi Matt and thanks for reaching out. Yes, our Rail Blocks are placed under your first board at the desired height you require and this can also be adjusted at any time if you choose to change the height of your first board. Once you are certain that the first board is levelled, tighten as much as you can the screw of the rail block and repeat this for every section of wood. Thank you and please have a wonderful day. HOFT Team.
some of my posts need to be at a 90 degree angle which I dont see so ill need two ends to make the angle
Hi Daniel and thanks for reaching out. We have our HOFT Corner Posts B8 that can be used, or you could also purchase our HOFT Gate kit and use the channels that are included to create the angle you need. Thank you and please have a wonderful day. HOFT Team.
I have a project requiring 96 linear feet of 6'x6' fencing, including a gate in the middle. Can you tell me how many of each kit I would need to complete this project? Also, can I use grooved composite deck boards with this system?
Hi Jeaton and thanks for reaching out. Yes, you can use a grooved composite deck board, and the maximum distance we recommend between posts is 5-feet. For the Gate Kit the maximum is 36'' (3-feet). So you would need 1 x Gate Kit + 4 x A8 End Post kits and 14 x C8 Line Post kits. Thank you and please have a wonderful day, HOFT Team.
What type of wood would you recommend to use for the boards?
Hi Kris and thanks for reaching out. We usually recommend 5/4th cedar wood boards, which would be more expensive, but the quality is higher, however pressure-treated wood/pine would look just as nice. To avoid warping whether it’s with pine boards or cedar boards the maximum span between posts is 6 feet. Thank you and please have a wonderful day. HOFT Team.
