Aluminum fencing is most often sold in 6’ wide sections. Each section of fence is then attached to a post. The posts are square and usually have a 2” or 2.5” diameter. But what if your lot is an irregular shape and you need to angle your fence line at something other than a 90 degree angle? Fortunately, Fence-Depot.com has the answer: we offer an accessory called a swivel bracket. These brackets allow the installer (you or your contractor) to set an angle anywhere between 0 and 45 degrees coming off a square post. Here is a diagram that shows how it works from an overhead view:
The typical line, end or corner post from Fence-Depot.com will allow about a 5 degree angle without the use of the swivel brackets so they wouldn’t be necessary if you are trying to achieve a very gentle radius. But this type of bracket can make it much easier to closely follow your property line if it is an irregular shape. They can also be helpful for following landscaping.
