Sell picket fences including the variant with no intermediate posts

An aluminium picket fence configurator offers three patterns: a classic and an urban picket on a 25 mm profile, and the Infinity variant that runs the whole length of a side as a single panel with no intermediate posts, standing only on its own 90 mm end posts. That choice changes the entire budget — intermediate posts and caps disappear as line items — and the configurator reflects it immediately.

A picket fence looks like the simplest type in the range yet hides its biggest difference: the post-less variant. The buyer treats it as an aesthetic choice, sales as a different calculation. The configurator joins the two — changing the pattern redraws both the fence and the price.

Who this solution is for

Manufacturers carrying both classic and post-less pickets who need to separate them in a sales conversation.
Dealers working on front-garden fences where looks matter more than privacy.
Businesses that need to compare a budget with and without posts quickly.

What buyers can configure

Picket pattern: Classic and urban pickets on a 25 mm profile, plus the post-less Infinity variant on a 90 mm profile. The classic and urban pickets take a picket count per panel of 3 to 15 (12 by default).
Gap between pickets: Chips of 15, 20, 25, 30, 40 and 50 mm decide how much of the fence you can see through.
Height and boundary: Standard heights of 600 to 2,000 mm or custom 400–3,000 mm; one to four sides, each 1.8 to 30 m.
Posts and anchoring: Aluminium or the buyer’s own concrete posts, caps, and in-ground, surface or face mounting; the post-less variant keeps only capless end posts, in-ground or face mounted.
Gates and colour: Up to two equipped gates per side plus the full RAL palette or a wood-look finish.

What the engine validates

The post-less variant switches posts off: On this pattern the whole side is produced as one panel between 90 mm end posts; the post type and cap options are not offered and surface mounting drops out.
One panel per side: The post-less variant does not divide the side into bays — the panel is as long as the side.
Gap depends on the type: The picket fence uses its own 15 to 50 mm gap set, wider than the horizontal slats.
Post upgrade above 1,500 mm: On the classic and urban pickets the post moves to a stronger profile above 1,500 mm.
Discrete gate widths: Gates are chosen from price-list widths per type, not from a free slider.

What changes the price

Picket pattern: The post-less variant carries only capless end posts, so its budget looks nothing like the classic picket.
Gap and picket count: A narrower gap means more pickets over the same length and more material.
Panel dimension bracket: The panel price comes from the design × max width × max height bracket.
Posts, caps and anchoring: On the posted variants these are a substantial line that shrinks to the end posts on the post-less one.
Gates and equipment: Gate type, width and height plus post box, motorisation and electric lock.

What buyers and sales receive

For the buyer: A 3D boundary with the real picket spacing, a live price and a PDF quotation.
For sales: A breakdown with pattern, gap, panel and post counts, gates and price.
A shareable link: The link reopens the same fence, so a with-posts and without-posts comparison can be sent.

What we need for implementation

Product data: We need your picket profiles, permitted gaps, the length limits of a post-less panel and your finishes.
Pricing model: Your price list becomes panel and gate brackets plus post, cap and anchoring prices where they apply.
Sales integration: The priced configuration and PDF are delivered by email or into CRM.

Frequently asked questions

How can a fence work without posts?+

The post-less variant builds the whole side as a single panel on a heavier 90 mm structural profile carried only by capless 90 mm end posts. The configurator therefore hides the post type and cap options for that pattern; mounting stays in-ground or face.

What separates the classic and urban pickets?+

Both use a 25 mm profile but differ in pattern and spacing. The difference is visible immediately in the 3D scene, and each pattern draws its price from its own bracket.

How does the gap affect privacy?+

The 15 to 50 mm range runs from almost closed to distinctly see-through. The change redraws in 3D, so the buyer decides from what they can see.

Can a gate be fitted into a picket fence?+

Yes, at most two per side. Each has its own type, a price-list width, a position along the side and an opening direction.

Does the price change when I switch to the post-less variant?+

Substantially. Intermediate posts and caps disappear as line items and the panel price bracket changes. The difference shows in the configurator the moment you switch.
