However, fabric having a breaking strength equivalent toor greater than the fabric used in the line of fence may be used.5.3 Attachment of Fabric to Gate FrameStretch the fabricso it is taut and fas
10、tened to frames by one of the followingmethods:5.3.1 Place a round rod or flat bar through the fabric andfasten with clips or bands, at a maximum spacing of 12 in. (305mm) on center, of sufficient strength to hold fabric taut betweenthe vertical frame members. Clips or bands shall conform tothe prof
11、ile of the frame members.5.3.2 Place a round rod or flat bar through the fabric andfasten with a J-bolt through the holes in the frame.5.3.3 Fasten all fabric to horizontal frame members and toany interior frame members by means of clips, tie wires, orbands suitable to retain the fabric to the frame
