Meeting FAA Standards: Why C-Post® Steel Fence Posts Protect Akron-Canton Airport
Protecting an airport perimeter demands rigorous compliance and structural reliability that goes far beyond a typical fencing framework. At Akron-Canton Airport, Gregory Fence’s C-Post® steel fence posts form the critical framework of the facility's perimeter. Engineered specifically for high-stress infrastructure projects, this locally manufactured steel fence post delivers the exact specs required by civil engineers, DOT officials, and aviation authorities.
Engineered for Heavy Industrial Compliance
C-Post is engineered and roll-formed to be in accordance with the parameters of ASTM F1043 Group II for Heavy Industrial framework. Furthermore, it satisfies the strict material requirements of FAA ITEM F-162 for chain-link fences.
By conforming to these exact specifications, the C-Post guarantees that project managers and infrastructure developers are installing a fence post proven to withstand immense environmental and physical stress without compromising its structural integrity.
C-Shaped profile
C-Post takes its name from its distinct C-shaped profile. ASTM F1043 Group II standards, these roll-formed steel shapes maintain a minimum yield strength of 50,000 psi, with larger 3.25 x 2.50 inch line post sections achieving up to 60,000 psi.
Galvanized Finish for Long-Term Durability
Airport perimeters are exposed to harsh, year-round weather conditions, requiring materials that resist degradation. C-Post’s open profile allows for continuous air circulation, eliminating internal condensation. To further protect the asset, every post features a continuously galvanized protective zinc coating. Meeting the Group II requirement of a minimum 2.00 oz/ft² zinc coating, this galvanized finish protects the steel inside and out.
