INCREASED SECURITY

The ForeRunner Rail with internal retaining rod prevents the attachment from being compromised. Fasteners are not exposed.

AESTHETIC DETAILS

“Good Neighbor Design” retaining rod follows ForeRunner centerline providing a clean and uninterrupted look void of visible screws or rivets.

RAKEABLE VS STAIR-STEP

Aegis II & Aegis Plus feature a unique picket to rail connection method that allows for biasability of up to 25% eliminating the need for the unsightly stair stepping of panels.

Ameristar crafted the ForeRunner rail to increase strength through architecture.

The innovative design feature of the ForeRunner rail is an internally secured retaining rod that allows for variable pitch connection, high angle biasability and eliminating unsightly external fasteners. Galvanized inside & out to protect against internal corrosion;

the ForeRunner rail is in the upper echelon of perimeter security solutions.

The majority of Ameristar products are protected by the unique PermaCoat process. Our

PRE-GALVANIZED STEEL BASE MATERIAL is subjected to an 11-STAGE PROCESS to cleanse & prepare the steel for a DUAL TOP-COAT FINISH. PermaCoat’s corrosion resistant abilities far surpass those of painted surfaces and have a “no-mar” polyester powder top coat. This dual coating not only provides RESISTANCE FROM WEATHERING but also reduces scratch & burnishing marks typically encountered during shipping.

MPH values shown are provided for information only. They are calculated using ANSI/ASCE 7-05, “American Society of Civil Engineers Minimum Design Loads for Buildings and Other Structures” Exposure Category C (open terrain with scattered obstructions having lengths generally less than 30 feet), based on post setting in 36" deep concrete footer in soil assumed to be of mid-range strength and compaction. Since specified project conditions such as jurisdictional building codes, elevation of installation, post base/footer design, soil strength, etc., may change from project to project, a structural engineering evaluation, unique to applicable requirements and conditions, should be performed. Consult your Ameristar Service Representative for an estimate on Engineering Analysis and P.E. Certification.
