10 Questions You Should to Know about Euro Style Fence Panels
Frequently Asked Questions - Ironcraft Fences
Custom sizing is not currently available, however any of the 6ft-wide IronCraft fence panels can be cut to shorter widths using a reciprocating saw, a metal cutting blade, or handheld metal cutting hack saw. We recommend using IronCraft touch-up paint (model #) to touch-up any scratches that may have occurred after cutting the panel to avoid any possible powder coating chipping.

Racking is a feature that allows your fencing system to accommodate slopes and inclines. The panel rails adjust to follow the slope of the land while the pickets remain plumb and vertical, so there isn’t a gap between the fence and the ground.
All IronCraft aluminum fence styles are designed to be able to rack to a rise or fall of 26″ over the 6-foot width of the panel (or 22° degrees.) Our Euro steel fence panel styles are not able to rack but may be installed in a stepped method, detailed in the “How to Assemble – Euro Fence Assembly Instructions.”
There is not a bracket to attach the IronCraft aluminum fence posts to the panels. The panels attach to the posts by sliding the panel into the pre-cut holes in the posts and are secured with self-tapping screws. The self-tapping screws are included with each post. The Euro Steel panels are secured to the post using Euro Clip Kits (model #SOS.) These kits include butterfly clips, which hold the panel grid in position, secured with nuts and bolts threaded directly through the post.
The IronCraft aluminum fence panels can be secured to any vertical surface at a 90° or 180° position using standard Wall Mounts (model #.) For angled installation, other than 90° or 180°, you may use Adjustable Wall Mounts (model #.) Both mount accessories are sold separately. To secure the Euro Steel fencing to vertical structures, additional Euro Clip Kits (model #SOS) may be purchased separately.
*Please note, 3rd party, material-specific screws may be needed for proper installation.
The IronCraft Aluminum and Euro Steel fence models are designed to be set at least 24” in concrete. If you are installing on top of a hard surface, such as pavement or decking, the aluminum posts can be cut to the appropriate height and secured using the IronCraft Deck Mounts (model #.) To install the Euro posts on a hard surface, you will need to purchase the flange-based post – no post cutting will be required.

Yes, both the IronCraft aluminum and Euro Steel fencing can be installed in a curved position. The aluminum fencing will use adjustable wall mounts (model #) to angle each panel in the direction of the turn. The Euro Steel fencing does not require additional hardware, as panel placement is determined by the placement of the next post in your run. Depending on the intensity of the curve, panel width may need to be cut down to accomplish a tighter turn.
Aluminum – The line posts are used between panels to create a straight linear run. Corner posts allow for 90° turns in the fencing run. End/Gate posts are utilized to start and stop fencing runs, as well as on either side of a gate. Posts heights and styles are not interchangeable.
Euro – The Euro steel posts are universal in use, meaning they can be used for any application, including line, corner, or end/gate post. The two options for Euro post include: In-Ground cement-mounted posts or surface-mounted flanged styled posts. Posts heights and styles are not interchangeable.

Fence panel ideas
I've a boundary with one neighbour where the boundary fence is composed of fence panels and concrete supports. They have been the bane of my life over the years as the stupid things blow out in high winds and are currently falling apart. The neighbour has leylandi trees the other side so was talking to him the other day about replacing them.Anyone got any reasonable priced alternatives / creative ideas to these wooden panels ?

Re: Fence panel ideas
Creative at least.Thinking out loud, and trying to be occasionally less wrong...
Re: Fence panel ideas
I just had an idea about the two long sides of spud boxes and slotting them in. There's a load of them abandoned on my neighbour's farm from the last crowd in it. The wood is good but not sure if the sides are wide enough to slot down both sides of the concrete posts. Will bring the measuring tape with me laterRe: Fence panel ideas

Would it be any better than the shiplap fencing or a waste of time ?Tanalised treated, so should be good against decay, for a while. Its down as 45mm thick, but I suspect in reality the uprights are 22m thick, and the cross battens on the back horizontally are 22mm. But you need to check out the construction first. Not bad for 65 euro.

My own frames had a 4x2 surround frame with 22mm uprights and 6'x6' at 80 euro a piece.
So your value seems ok.
You could go with concrete panels between the posts, but I dont know the costs.
Re: Fence panel ideas
Thanks man. If I can get 9 or 10 years out of them I'd be happy enough with that. The current ones are about 7mm so hopefully they will be an improvement.Re: Fence panel ideas

Some folks put a foot concrete foot panel to start off. It keeps the timber way from contact with the ground.
Re: Fence panel ideas
If wind is a problem then "hit and miss" panels are the best bet. a concrete foot panel as Kadman suggests, is definitely the way to go. I would go to one of the fencing suppliers rather than the chain stores, better selection, good advice, although not necessarily cheaper prices.https://www.abbeylawn.net/fencing/timber-panels/ Being offended doesn't automatically mean you are right.

My budget is a 100 euros max a panel. I might take a trip down to have a look at their stock when I've got time.

The hit and miss may be the way I'll go on it. The neighbour recently asked if I could cut the leylandi to some manageable height for him, but they are at a still at a size where they can be safely removed completely. I'm going to suggest he should remove them completely and put in some nicer native trees which he will not have hassle down the line like you would with leylandi. It's a fckin curse of a tree to try and manage around a boundary.

They contribute nothing to the environment and don't even make good kindling, a blot on the landscape.

Abbeylawn is just the example I used, I'm sure there are suppliers closer to where you are. Being offended doesn't automatically mean you are right.
Re: Fence panel ideas
We have an old D-rail fence with zero privacy between ourselves and our lovely neighbours, so between us we bought a bail of 5ft lollipop pickets and pinned them on (hit and miss) with a nail gun.Quick, cheap but effective.

The neighbour has leylandi trees the other side so was talking to him the other day about replacing them.Your pics aren't displaying so not sure what type of concrete uprights you have, Assuming they're the type with slots into which you slide the fence panels, then you can replace them with decking timber like my mate did. He just cut them to the correct length and slid them in. He left small gaps between the timbers by placing plastic chocks between each plank (allows the wind through?). Looks great and super strong.
Anyone got any reasonable priced alternatives / creative ideas to these wooden panels ?
