Material and specification of the chain link fencer for security: 1.(CLFMI) Chain Link Manufacturers Institute Product Manual 2.ASTM (American Society of Testing Materials) Volume 01.06 3.ASTM F 1553, "The Standard Guide for Specifying Chain Link Fence" will provide he appropriate information to develop a specification document.
Framework of Chain Link Fence for Security
The framework for a chain link fence consists of the line posts, end posts, corner posts, gateposts, and if required top, mid, bottom or brace rail. The Federal Specification and The CLFMI "Wind Load Guide for the Selection of Line Post Spacing and Size" provides recommended post sizes for the various fence heights. However the latter document also provides choices of line post types, sizes and spacings to accommodate selected fence heights and fabric sizes for wind loads at various geographical project locations.
The physical security barrier provided by a chain link fence provides one or more of the following functions: 1.Gives notice legal boundary of the outermost limits of a facility
2.Assists in controlling and screening authorized entries into a secured area by deterring entry elsewhere along the boundary.
3.Demonstrates the intent of an intruder by their overt action of gaining entry.
4.Causes a delay to obtain access to a facility, thereby increasing the possibility of detection.
