Fence rivets come in many sizes, materials, and types of rivets. However, if you’re looking for durability, use Ultimate Rivets made by aDP Rivet here in America. Yes, American made Ultimate Rivets are extremely easy to use and provide very durable performance.
Fence Rivets are an important part of your fencing products as the rivets are often the fastener that holds the fence post, hardware and fencing in place. Beware of soft aluminum (tri-fold, bulbex, exploding type) rivets which are NOT designed for durability when movement of the application is present. What is movement? It’s a common physical event that occurs naturally whenever two or more pieces are fastened together. Think of your fence as a barrier, even if only intended as a decorative accent to your property, it has movement occurring almost constantly. Wind, breezes, and temperature changes cause natural movement, which flexes, and actually creates unseen stress on the fastener joints. If you used low durability rivets, (drive rivets, plastic rivets, bulb type rivets, tri-fold rivets, or aluminum exploding rivets, etc.) their low, soft aluminum strength values will eventually cause premature failure and loose joints on your fence. Did you ever wonder why you can move, or rattle sections of your fence? The most likely cause for this back and forth movement is the weak rivets used to fasten the fence sections to the post are failing, loosening up, not holding tightly or just plain broken. What happens next is your fence starts to fall apart due to the constant, but unseen movement. Don’t wait for the next strong wind or person leaning on your fence to collapse your fence. Fences are expensive, why use a low strength, rivet to hold it all together. Ask your fence dealer, manufacturer, installer to consider using high strength Ultimate Rivets rather than the low strength rivets.
Ultimate Rivets have been used and approved for their high strength and durability features by municipalities and construction companies.
