1、Designation: F2184 10An American National StandardStandard Guide forInstallation of Paintball Barrier Netting1This standard is issued under the fixed designation F2184; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of la

2、st revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.INTRODUCTIONThis guide is intended to outline installation requirements for the safe and effective installation ofpaintball barrier

3、netting. The proper installation of safe paintball barrier netting at paintball playingfacilities is critical to protect non-players from accidental impact of a paintball.Paintball is a sport that, like all sports, has intrinsic hazards for the active participants. These hazardsinclude being hit by

4、paintballs. Spectators not separated from the active playing field by an appropriatebarrier can experience accidental impact of a paintball. Although surrounding an active playing fieldwith paintball barrier netting cannot eliminate all injuries, paintball barrier netting can substantiallyreduce the

5、 severity and frequency of injuries when properly installed.This guide is written within the current state-of-the-art of paintball barrier netting technology. Theintent is to revise this guide whenever substantive information becomes available that justifies revisingexisting requirements or adding n

6、ew requirements.1. Scope1.1 This guide provides recommendations for the installa-tion of paintball barrier netting that may be used to delineateplaying fields, chronograph areas, target ranges, and other“goggle-on” areas of an active paintball site.1.2 The values stated in SI units are to be regarde

15、 Paintball barrier netting shall be installed not closerthan 6.10 6 0.15 m (20.0 6 0.5 ft) from the playing fieldboundary line.5.1.1.1 If the 6.10 6 0.15 m (20.0 6 0.5 ft) buffer zonecannot be respected due to space constraints, the netting mustconform to 5.2.1 at the distance of closest approach.5.

16、1.2 A spectator exclusion zone will extend a minimum of0.61 6 0.15 m (2.0 6 0.5 ft) beyond the paintball barriernetting allowing for billowing.5.2 Paintball Barrier Netting Testing:5.2.1 New installations of paintball barrier netting shall betested in accordance with the procedure described in TestM

17、ethod F2278 prior to use.5.2.2 Existing installations of paintball barrier netting areeffected by various factors such as wind, rain, animal popula-tion, etc., and shall be inspected at a minimum of once permonth to confirm the integrity of the installation. This inspec-tion must include impact test

18、ing of the paintball barrier nettingbased on Test Method F2278.5.3 Installation:5.3.1 Netting should be installed in a manner that substan-tially reduces the likelihood of a paintball injuring spectators orplayers located in areas where eye protection is not required.Recommended practices include an

19、d are not limited to:5.3.1.1 Where top enclosures are not used or available,netting shall be a minimum of 3.7 m (12 ft) high. The use ofberms is allowed as a barrier. The combined height of the bermand netting should be a minimum of 3.7 m (12 ft) above theplaying surface. If spectators are allowed t

20、o stand on the berm,the netting must extend a minimum of 2.1 m (7 ft) from the topof the berm.5.3.1.2 Vertical supports for netting shall be of sufficientstrength and length to support netting in condition that it is tobe used (for example, indoors, outdoors with breeze, etc.).5.3.1.3 Vertical suppo

21、rts should be spaced not more than 7.66 0.15 m (25.0 6 0.5 ft) apart.5.3.1.4 Netting sag between vertical supports should notexceed 30.5 6 2.5 cm (12 6 1 in.).(1) The use of a 0.95-cm (38-in.) steel cable or equivalentstrung across the top of the vertical supports through eyeboltswith a 5-cm (2-in.)

22、 inside diameter (ID) will reduce sagbetween the vertical supports.5.3.1.5 If netting traverses a vertical support, it should bekept a minimum of 10 cm (4 in.) from the support to reducewear on the net and mounted on the interior of the verticalsupports (see Fig. 2).5.3.1.6 The bottom of the net sho

23、uld be secured to reducethe ability to lift the netting between the vertical supports.(1) The use of a 0.95-cm (38-in.) steel cable or equivalentstrung across the bottom of the vertical supports througheyebolts with a 5-cm (2-in.) ID is effective in reducing lift.(2) The use of pegs spaced 61.0 6 2.

24、5 cm (24 6 1 in.) apartand extending a minimum of 15.2 cm (6 in.) into the ground orequivalent will reduce lifting of the bottom of the net.5.3.1.7 Sufficient means of fastening the netting to the topand bottom horizontal supports are required.(1) Tie-wraps or equivalent spaced 15.2 6 2.5 cm (6 6 1i

25、n.) can be used.5.3.1.8 Where cables or ropes are used in the installation,the use of turnbuckles to tension cables or ropes is recom-mended.5.3.1.9 Billowing of the netting should be reduced. The useof a 6.35-mm (0.25-in.) nylon rope or equivalent can bezigzagged across the netting. One cable shoul

26、d pass on theinterior of the field while the second passes in an oppositedirection on the exterior of the field (see Fig. 3).5.4 Entrances:5.4.1 Entrances to the playing field shall be designed toprevent a paintball from passing through in a straight line.5.4.2 A recommended configuration is a zigza

27、g (see Fig. 4).5.5 Joints:5.5.1 All joints shall consist of a rolled or bunched jointconsisting of netting overlapped by a minimum of 15.2 6 1cm(6 6 0.5 in.) and be fastened with tie-wraps or equivalent at15.2 6 2.5 cm (6 6 1 in.) intervals (see Figs. 5-7).5.6 Repairs:5.6.1 Repairs to the netting sh

28、all consist of patches thatextend 15.2 6 2.5 cm (6 6 1 in.) in all directions and arefastened to the inside of the netting with tie-wraps or equiva-lents at 7.6 6 1cm(36 0.5 in.) intervals (see Fig. 8).6.
