Standard Guide for Chain-Link Pickleball Court Fences

SIGNIFICANCE AND USE
5.1 The Intended Use of This Guide is to identify the specific functions and qualities desired of a pickleball fence and offer recommendations on how to achieve them with a chain link fence for different types of pickleball courts.  
5.2 The Primary Function of a Pickleball Court Fence is to keep pickleball balls in and uninvited traffic out. It also serves as a barrier to prevent players from colliding with fixed objects and spectators. It also prevents players from running onto irregular or slippery surfaces or into dangerous adjacent areas. Fences need to respond to secondary functional requirements, including: spectator viewing, screening the court from wind and visual distractions outside the court, and being as open and welcoming as security conditions permit. In cases where security or dangerous adjacent conditions are an issue, a uniformly high type of enclosure can still be called for, but in most cases, pickleball fences are a variety of heights and may accommodate lights, shade shelters, gates for players and maintenance, and can have completely open (no fence) portions of the perimeter that lead to decks, grandstands, or landscaping
SCOPE
1.1 The purpose of this guide is to inform the builder, designer, facility manager, or owner, or a combination thereof, of a pickleball court or facility about the many details and features of pickleball court fence. It focuses on what to consider when designing a pickleball fence, offers some recommendations, and points the user to where they could find additional useful information regarding the design, construction, and maintenance of pickleball courts.  
1.2 Units—The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as standard. The values given in parentheses are mathematical conversions to SI units that are provided for information only and are not considered standard.  
1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.  
1.4 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.

ASTM F2814-23(Guide)
Standard Guide for Design and Construction of Ornamental Steel Picket Fence Systems for Security Purposes

SIGNIFICANCE AND USE
4.1 Ornamental steel picket fence systems can be designed to provide greater levels of security by selecting styles and configurations that increase the difficulty to penetrate and in turn increase delay time. Some examples include: increasing the height of the fence, using ornamental picket styles that curve outward to form a parapet on the attack side of the fence, and decreasing the spacing between vertical pickets.  
4.2 Security hardening of ornamental steel picket fence systems can be achieved by adding fence security accessories (that is, barbed wire to the top; barbed tape to the top, side or bottom of the fence; or spiked railing supplements along the top rail) or by attaching supplemental security fence fill materials (that is, expanded metal, barbed tape mesh, welded wire mesh, or chain-link mini-mesh fabric). Slats or screening panels can be inserted to restrict visibility when required.  
4.3 Multiple fence lines can be installed to create isolation zones that enhance the ability to patrol or visually monitor the area.  
4.4 Anti-ram cable systems may be added to resist vehicle penetration into a protected perimeter.
SCOPE
1.1 This guide covers the material and installation standards for selection in the design of an ornamental steel picket fence system for security applications. The proper material selection and system installation and layout can substantially increase the difficulty to penetrate; thereby, increasing the intrusion delay time.  
1.2 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.  
1.3 This guide is not intended to set specific requirements for an ornamental steel picket fence system for security purposes. It intends to cover the considerations or options pertinent to the design and construction of ornamental steel picket fence systems for security purposes.  
1.4 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.

ABSTRACT
This specification establishes the minimum requirements for coated tubular picket ornamental fence systems fabricated from galvanized steel components. Steel material for tubular picket ornamental fence system structural components shall be galvanized by the hot-dip process, either after forming, or prior to forming.

Standard Specification for Polymer Privacy Insert Slats for Chain Link Fabric and Privacy Chain Link Fabric Manufactured Containing Pre-Installed Privacy Slats

ABSTRACT
This specification establishes the criteria for polymer privacy insert slats designed for insertion into chain link fabric after the chain link fence installation and privacy chain fabric having slats preinserted into chain link mesh during the chain link weaving process. It covers four types of polymer privacy insert slats: Type P-V consisting of polyethylene privacy insert slats hand inserted vertically into standard mesh chain link fabric after the fence installation; Type P-D consisting of polyethylene privacy insert slats hand woven diagonally into standard mesh chain link fabric after the fence installation; Type F-VDH consisting of modified fiberglass privacy insert slats hand woven, vertically, diagonally or horizontally into standard mesh chain link fabric after the fence installation; and Type PI-V consisting of privacy chain link fabric with vertical high density polyethylene privacy slats pre-inserted into the chain link mesh during the chain link weaving process. The standard addresses ordering information, privacy slat design configurations, weathering, chain link fence framework, tie wires and hog rings, and installation.
SCOPE
1.1 This specification covers polymer privacy insert slats designed for insertion into chain link fabric after the chain link fence installation and privacy chain fabric having slats pre-inserted into chain link mesh during the chain link weaving process.  
1.1.1 Type P-V consists of polyethylene privacy insert slats hand inserted vertically into standard mesh chain link fabric after the fence installation.  
1.1.2 Type P-D consists of polyethylene privacy insert slats hand woven diagonally into standard mesh chain link fabric after the fence installation.  
1.1.3 Type F-VDH consists of modified fiberglass privacy insert slats hand woven, vertically, diagonally or horizontally into standard mesh chain link fabric after the fence installation.  
1.2 Type PI-V consists of privacy chain link fabric containing vertical high density polyethylene privacy slats pre-inserted into the chain link mesh during the chain link weaving process. Style 1a: Wider, 2 3/8 in. [60.3 mm] to 3 in. [76.2 mm] slats, pre-inserted into specially designed larger mesh. Style 1b: Type P-V friction fit slats pre-inserted into standard 2 in. [50 mm] chain link mesh.  
1.3 The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound units are to be regarded separately as standard. The values stated in each system are not necessarily exact equivalents; therefore, to ensure conformance with the standard, each system shall be used independently of the other, and values from the two systems shall not be combined.  
1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.  
1.5 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.
