Scope1.1 This guide covers the recommended criteria for speci-fying the various elements of a chain link fence and lists theavailable choices of component
3、s from the current ASTMstandards.1.2 No recommendation is made or implied concerning themerits of any particular product. The choice of productcomponents of the chain link fence should be made by thewriters of the project specification, based on their own percep-tion of the merits of the products fo

Summary of Practice4.1 Many standard specifications for chain link fence arepresently in existence. These include, but are not limited to,specifica
19、tions of the federal, state, and municipal governmentsand their various agencies, as well as trade groups andorganizations. Most of these specifications either referenceexisting ASTM standards or are duplications of some of thesestandards. This guide references chain link fence ASTMstandards for the
20、 purpose of developing a complete chain linkfence specification.4.2 A large percentage of construction specifiers useMasterFormat, developed and published by the ConstructionSpecifications Institute (CSI) for writing project specifications.Chain link fence carries the MasterFormat designation 32 311
