Standard Guide for Specifying Chain Link Fence
ABSTRACT
This guide provides the recommended criteria for specifying, as well as the installation procedures for, the various elements of a chain link fence, and lists the available choices of components from the current ASTM standards.
SCOPE
1.1 This guide covers the recommended criteria for specifying the various elements of a chain link fence and lists the available choices of components from the current ASTM standards.
1.2 No recommendation is made or implied concerning the merits of any particular product. The choice of product components of the chain link fence should be made by the writers of the project specification, based on their own perception of the merits of the products for the particular application.
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 and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
