ASTM F1043-00

Standard Specification for Strength and Protective Coatings on Metal Industrial Chain Link Fence Framework

SCOPE
1.1 This specification covers the strength and protective coating requirements for industrial metal chain link fence framework up to 12 ft (3.66 m) maximum height with a post spacing not to exceed 10 ft (3 m).
1.1.1 Caution Regarding Windscreens-- If wind screens are to be installed at the time of fence erection or at a later time, it is advisable to use stronger framework and parts and closer spacing of posts or back bracing depending upon the type of screening material to be used, area of fence to be covered and local wind conditions.
1.2 Posts and rails may have any cross-sectional shape meeting the outlined requirements within. The shapes may be formed and welded, cold formed, hot rolled, or extruded.
1.3 The values in inch-pound units are to be regarded as the standard. The values stated in SI units are for information purposes only.
