RESResources
Reference material, and a straight list of what is not written yet.
What exists is linked. What does not exist is marked in preparation with the reason it is not ready. There are no download buttons pointing at placeholder files, and there are no specification sheets fabricated to fill a gap.
Palisaro does not currently hold or publish test ratings, certifications or warranty terms for any configuration on this site. A project that requires a rated system or specific warranty coverage should raise it before quoting.
01Selection guides
Choosing a system and a purchasing path.
What each path involves, what Palisaro needs from you at each stage, and which one usually fits a given project type.
guide
What the four compatibility states mean, why an option gets disabled, and what happens to a configuration flagged for review.

Reading a panel specification
In preparationPicket profile, rail count and arrangement, on-centre spacing, top treatment, panel width versus post spacing — what each field controls on site.
guide
Matching posts and hardware to a panel system
In preparationLine, corner, terminal and gate posts, when to use routed versus bracketed connections, and how gate hardware is sized to leaf weight.

02Project checklists
What to have ready before requesting pricing.
Quantities, panel and gate counts, heights, finish, delivery site and required date. The checklist that makes a quote turn around quickly.

Everything in the supply list, plus site address, access, surface conditions, known services and any scheduling constraints.

Pre-installation site readiness
In preparationLocates, access, staging space, surface conditions and what has to be resolved before an installation crew is scheduled.

03Site considerations
The conditions that change a fence project.
- Grade change
- Sloped ground is handled either by stepping panels or by racking them, and not every system can rack. Where a run crosses a grade change, the approach affects panel count, post height and how the fence line looks. Record grade change during measurement, not during installation.
- Frost depth and footings
- Footing depth in Ontario is governed by local frost depth, soil conditions and the loads the fence carries. It is a site-specific determination. Taller panels, solid screening and gate posts all increase what the footing has to do.
- Locates and buried services
- Underground locates are required before any post hole is dug. On private property, privately owned services — irrigation, low-voltage lighting, private gas runs — are frequently not covered by a public locate and need to be identified by the owner.
- Property lines and by-laws
- Fence height limits, setbacks, corner visibility triangles and pool enclosure rules are municipal and vary across Ontario. Confirming the governing requirements is the property owner's responsibility, and it is worth doing before ordering rather than after.
- Winter conditions
- Snow clearing damages fence lines near driveways and walkways. Drop-rod sockets fill with ice. Gates that swing over a surface that heaves will bind. These are predictable and can be designed around if raised early.
- Wind loading on solid panels
- Louvre and privacy panels carry substantially more wind load than open picket fence of the same height. Post section, embedment and spacing must be sized for the panel area rather than carried over from a picket layout.

If your project needs documentation to proceed
Some projects cannot move without a dimensioned drawing, a coating specification or a stamped footing detail. Say so on the quote request. It will be answered directly rather than deflected, including where the answer is that the document does not exist yet and what would be needed to produce it.
