Post-tensioning of concrete has been in use for more than fifty years, and is commonly employed as a means to maximize the loading capabilities of concrete elements. Post tensioned concrete is typically employed in parking structures, office buildings, and many other structures where service loads are substantial. Residential builders are familiar with its use in floor slabs.

The specific application of post-tensioning to Proto II™ fencing has been in use for more than twenty years, and utilizes the internationally recognized benefits of post-tensioning concrete and masonry structures. It is not new, it is not experimental.

Proto II's adaptation of this technology provides a site wall unlike anything obtainable with conventional masonry methods, or other less-durable, flimsy, or even toxic fencing options. (See Lot Separation Fencing: A Holistic Comparison of Currently Used Systems.)
