Stake intervalsshall not exceed 500 ft 152.5 m or line of sight.3.2 All underground utility locations, USC that is, under normal conditions thediameter shall be four times the largest cross section of the postup to a 4 in. 101.5
7、mm outside diameter and three times forlarger outside diameters. The depth shall be a minimum of 24in. 609.6 mm plus an additional 3 in. 76.2 mm for each 1-ft305-mm increase in the fence height over 4 ft 1.22 m to amaximum total of 60 in. 1525 mm for a fence height up to 20ft. 6.10 m.5.2 Dig or dril
8、l holes in the line of the fence in accordancewith 5.1. Forms are not necessary.5.3 Set posts in a vertical position, plumb and in line.Backfill concrete (2500 psi) 17.2 MPa into the excavationand extend 2 in. 50 mm above grade. An alternative methodis to stop footing 6 in. 152.4 mm below grade to a
9、llow forcover with sod, black top, or other materials if the footings arenot in an area subject to cathodic protection. In either case,crown the concrete at its top to shed water and slope aminimum of 2 in. 50.8 mm away from the post.5.4 The use of mechanical devices for the setting of fenceposts is
10、 acceptable under this practice, provided the mechanicalstrength in the ground is equal or superior to the strengthdeveloped by the concrete footing as recommended.5.5 When solid rock or concrete is encountered, without anoverburden of soil, set posts in the solid rock or concrete. Thedepth of the h
11、ole shall be three times the largest cross sectionof the posts. The diameter of the hole shall be12 in. 13 mmgreater than the largest cross section of the post.1This practice is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee F14 on Fences andis the direct responsibility of Subcommittee F14.40 on Chain Lin

14、 recommended.5.7 Half-fill the void with nonshrinkable hydraulic cementand force post to the bottom of the hole and plumb. Thoroughlywork additional grout into the hole so as to leave no voids.Crown the grout to shed water.5.8 Drive posts are to be driven by mechanical means to aminimum depth of 36
15、in. 914.4 mm or 6 in. 152.4 mmgreater than that called for in 5.1, for the height of fence.5.9 Where soil conditions are unstable or rock is encoun-tered, the drive post embedment must be altered to maintainstability. The depth should be in keeping with standard fenceconstruction practices for the l
16、ocal area or refer to 5.5.5.10 The post tops must be protected to prevent distortion ofthe exposed end. The use of a drive cap is recommended.5.11 Residential Swing Gate Posts:5.11.1 See Table 1.5.12 Industrial and Commercial Swing Gate Posts:5.12.1 See Table 2.5.13 Cantilever Slide Gate Posts (Spec
17、ification F 1184,Type II)Refer to Specification F 1184, Type II CantileverSlide Gates, for post setting requirements.5.14 Overhead Slide Gate Posts (Specification F 1184, TypeI)Refer to Specification F 1184, Type I Overhead SlideGates, for post setting requirements.6. Terminal Post Bracing6.1 No bra
18、ces are required on fabric 6 ft 1.83 m high orless where the top rail is specified. On all fabric over 6 ft,braces are required. On fabric over 12 ft 3.66 m in height, acenter rail is required; regardless of height, all fences installedwithout a top rail shall have braces on all terminals.6.2 Secure
19、ly fasten diagonal braces to the terminal post andthe adjacent line post or its footing or a footing of equal size.There shall be no more than a 50 angle between the brace andthe ground. Securely fasten horizontal braces with truss rods tothe adjacent line post and terminal posts.6.3 When the top ra
20、il is used, attach the brace at the halfwaypoint of the terminal post above grade and, when the top rail isomitted, at the two-thirds point above grade.7. Top Rail and Tension Wire7.1 Support the top rail at each post so that a continuousbrace from end to end of each stretch of fence is formed.Secur
21、ely fasten the top rail to the terminal posts and join withsleeves or coupling to allow for expansion and contraction.7.2 When the top rail is omitted, stretch a tension wire fromend to end of each stretch of fence at a height that will enableit to be fastened to the fabric within the top 1 ft 305 m
22、m ofthe chain-link fabric. If specified, fasten the bottom tensionwire within the bottom 6 in. 150 mm of fabric. Securelyfasten the tension wire to the terminal posts. The tension wireshall be taut and free of sag.8. Tie Wires and Clips8.1 Tie wires, or clips, or both, for attaching chain linkfabric
23、 to round tubular or rectangular roll-formed rails andintermediate posts shall be as specified in Specification F 626.8.2 Irrespective of the type of tie or clip utilized, it is criticalto the integrity of the fence system to assure that they areinstalled properly.8.3 Correct tie installation requir
24、es engagement of one wireforming a picket of the chain link fabric with one end of the tieby wrapping it with two 360 degree turns and then wrappingthe body of the tie around the rail or post a minimum of 180degrees. The opposite end of the tie should be secured to thesecond wire of the same chain l
25、ink fabric picket also with two360 degree wraps. The final process of tightening the tie on thefabric picket wire should draw the fabric and the main body ofthe tie tightly to the rail or post. Care must be taken to assurethat the ends of the ties or clips do not protrude beyond thevertical plane on
26、 either side of the chain link fabric to avoidinjury to pedestrians contact with the fence.9. Chain-Link Fabric9.1 Place chain-link fabric on the outside of the areaenclosed or as directed by the purchaser.9.2 Place the fabric by securing one end, applying sufficienttension to remove all slack befor
27、e making attachment else-where. Tighten the fabric to provide a smooth uniform appear-ance free from sag.9.3 Cut the fabric by untwisting a picket and attach eachspan independently at all terminal posts. Use stretcher barswith tension bands at maximum 15-in. 380-mm intervals orany other approved met
28、hod of attachment.9.4 Install fence fabric 2 in. 50 mm above ground level.Measure clearance at the post with a tolerance of 63 in. 676mm. Fasten the fabric to the line posts at intervals notexceeding 15 in. 380 mm. Fasten the fabric to the rail ortension wire at intervals not exceeding 24 in. 609 mm
29、.9.5 Join rolls of wire fabric by weaving a single picket intothe ends of the rolls to form a continuous mesh.10. Barbed Wire10.1 If barbed wire is required, pull it taut to remove all sag,firmly install it in the slots of the extension arms, and secure itto a post or terminal arm.11. Gates11.1 The
