Capstone Project Added to Upcoming Fence Training School

An additional day has been added to the Fence Training School schedule sponsored by North American Fence Contractors Association (NAFCA), to be held February 11 – 15, 2024, to complete a capstone project.

“In addition to our various fence disciplines taught during school, we’re adding a one-day project: we will be installing 650’ of ornamental aluminum for the Florida Medal of Honor Memorial in Sebring, Florida,” explains Clint Iams, executive director of NAFCA. “This project will enable our students to implement their training into a typical installation. There will be utilities to work around, gates to appropriately install, and weather to content with. While difficult, this project will provide our students the opportunity to work alongside industry professionals and certifiable experts, resulting in a truly remarkable experience and increased benefit when returning home.”

One of the greatest benefits of the fence school is the real-world installation of various fence projects led by industry professionals with a combined 450+ years of experience.

The classes planned for 2024 include:

• Chain link – 70’ or 6’ high chain link fence with access gate
• Farm and ranch – construct several sections of coated high tensile fence with a hydraulic pounder
• PVC – repair 6’ high vinyl fence damaged by a hurricane, install 60’ of new fence
• Blueprints – review basics of blueprints and generating materials required
• Wood – 50’ of 6’ high dog ear solid fence with 5’ gate

Each fence and project completed at Fence Training School is a realworld application and permanent installation. Various installation methods are used in each class to provide insight and understanding on the best practices utilized around the country by industry professionals.

Class size is limited to 28 students on a first come, first served basis.
