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.

SIGNIFICANCE AND USE
5.1 This guide sets forth the minimum standard requirements for the application of temporary fences for construction sites by installing 6 or 8 ft (1.83 or 2.44 m) high temporary construction fence enclosures used to delineate and form a physical barrier on the construction site. A wide variety of materials, both new and used, are acceptable as long as the finished product is neat and uniform in appearance.  
5.2 Temporary fences should form a continuous barrier, panel type fence to be securely attached together or to a supporting post with steel fitting forming a positive connection.
Note 1: Warning to end user regarding screening: Wind screens applied to a fence form a solid barrier. The temporary fence described in this standard is not capable of handing 110 MPH wind gusts per ASCE/SEI 7-10. If screening is to be installed the fence should be researched and designed the same as a permanent fence to support the wind load; refer to Chain Link Manufacturers Institute Wind Load Guide, WLG 2445.
Note 2: Warning to end user regarding installations adjacent to open excavation and street corners. Refer to contract documents, site plans, or local codes for fence offset from excavations and to ensure vehicles a clear line of sight for street corner safety.
SCOPE
1.1 This guide covers a variety of materials and methods used in the construction of temporary fences.  
1.2 Temporary fences are physical barriers used to define and designate the boundary of construction sites.  
1.3 Temporary fences are intended to be installed before any construction activity starting and removed at the end of the construction phase. The duration of service can vary; consideration should be given to the length of time the temporary fence will be in use.  
1.4 When determining and specifying materials and installation methods, investigate contract specifications, contract documents, site plan fence location, and, possibly, local codes. Before installation, review and inspect existing site conditions. In some cases, a permanent fence installation should be used as temporary fencing.  
1.5 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.

SIGNIFICANCE AND USE
The intended use of this practice is for chain link fencing of varying heights and designs to be used to enclose a sports field, sport court or recreation facility including the internal fencing required for safety, separation of activities, security, crowd control, access and egress or other requirements.
Consideration should be given to fence offset distances from the activity field to provide a safety area for the participants and viewers.
This practice is not intended for applications where fencing higher than 12 ft (3660 mm) is desired by the owner.
Follow Guide F 1553 format to specify the chain link fence material and installation.
Warning Regarding Windscreens and Added Fence Padding—If windscreens or padding are to be installed at the time of fence erection or at a later time, it is advisable to use stronger framework, closer post spacing or back bracing of posts depending on the type of screening material to be used, area of the fence covered and the local wind and weather conditions. Post size and spacing based on wind load can be calculated using the Chain Link Fence Manufacturers Institute’(CLFMI) Guide WL 2445.
