Why Aluminum is better than Steel

  It is appropriate to remember that most things in life have positive attributes mixed with limitations. Someone once told me that everything in life is a compromise, you choose what fits your needs by trading off something else. With ornamental fencing and gates it has usually meant that for gaining strength, a customer was willing to trade-off having to perform or pay for additional maintenance somewhere down the road. If folks want a product that will last longer and one that is easier to install, they would choose aluminum.
 
Here a painting crew is re-painting a three year old steel fence at a hotel in Phoenix, AZ
vs.

Our heat-treated aluminum alloy fence being installed in Sun City Arizona will never need to be painted. It does NOT rust.
 At Ultra, we push things to the limit. We offer alloys that no competitor will offer you. Structural Heat Treated Alloys in Aluminum that are made from at least 85% recycled materials and may help large projects comply with requirements for LEED Certification. So help save yourself some maintenance, save some American Jobs, save the planet and save your customer some money while making a better installation.

Ultra could have made a custom gate fit better

   Often times I am asked "why should I switch from this BIGGER supplier to Ultra?" and I say-

   ULTRA is BIG enough to deliver the goods, but small enough to still be flexible. Some of the BIG BOYS will sell you any color you need as long as it is black. They will offer you any gate size, as long as it is one of their standard sizes. Ultra has 9 (NINE) standard colors in two different finishes (matte and glossy). If you check out this image of a job supplied by one of the largest U.S. "Ameri _ _ _r" - you will see that having a partner/supplier that is willing and capable of customization has BIG advantages.
field customized?? There are better options...
  We often make gates and transition panels that are different than the panels on an order.
 
Our gate looks better, right? 
  Switch to ULTRA and make erections that you will be proud of for decades to come.
  Email me and I will explain how easy and profitable making the switch can be. Darrin Jones

Ultra on the Cover of World Fence News

This is our Defender Industrial Grade Fence Product. It was actually on the cover a couple months ago and I was a little too busy to post this.
World Fence News August 2011 Issue

  I will try to start getting more interesting Ultra News posted in a more timely fashion. Thanks for reading. Enjoy World Fence News online (here). And as always visit Ultra's dynamic and ever expanding website at www.ultrafence.com

Incredible Tri-Slide Ultrack/V-Track Hybrid Gate at Bogle Vineyards



I just wanted to share some photos of a unique job that was recently installed in N. California. Bogle Vineyards is one of the largest wineries in the US and they had a need for a gate that would close off a 45ft opening, but collapse into a very small footprint. A contractor who specializes in high-speed V-Track/Cantilever “Hybrids” chose Ultra to do the work and flew up to Howell to help oversee the fabrication. David was instrumental in getting the job off the ground. Russ worked with the contractor, providing a lot of engineering suggestions and came up with a solution for the 2-tone paint scheme. Ron worked his butt off welding this monster and dealing with a contractor looking over his shoulder. In short…it was a great team effort and the results speak for themselves. The gate was installed without a hitch, the customer is thrilled, Ultra made some money and I got just a little grayer. Great job to all involved!

BFT from Italy makes a fine, sleek, quiet and reliable 24 volt swing gate operator. It is paired with an IS grade Estate Gate by Ultra with double spaced pickets. This combination should allow for a maintenance free drive gate for years or even decades to come.

New Products at Ultra

  Let me first say that I have been away from blogging for entirely too long. There have been many changes in my personal and professional life over the past six months that have had my attention diverted from blogging about Ultra Aluminum Fence, Gate and Railing Products. I will try to make up for some lost time by filling you in on what is new with Ultra since last Fall (2010).


Glass Panels for Railing 



New Name is Ultrack
what we used to just call a cantilevered gate

  This is the best enclosed track, cantilevered gate system in the industry and is also the easiest and most reliable form of slide gate in the fence industry. In this vein, we also want to announce that Ultra is now offering V-Track Slide gates. As we grow into the Southwest and further into South Florida and Latin America, where v-track gates have long been popular, we are answering that call.

  Now Ultra dealers will have yet another choice when it come to gates.

While on gates...,    many improvements on Revolution have been made and here is a fine example of a 23' wide Revolution working off Solar Power alone.



 Many more great products are on our horizon. While other companies falter and shrink, we innovate and grow. We hope we can help you grow your business this year and in the years to come.
Give us a call at (800) 656-4420
or call me direct at (256) 214-0633
