Summary of Practice4.1 This practice is intended primarily to guide thoseresponsible for or concerned with the design and installation ofchain-link fencing around tennis courts.4.2 This practice does not intend to preclud
9、e any practicethat has proven equal to or given better performance undervarying conditions such as location, weather, intended use, etc.5. Significance and Use5.1 The intended use of this practice is for 10- or 12-ft (3050or 3660 mm) high chain-link fencing as complete enclosuresaround single or mul
10、tiple tennis courts, or as backstops ateither end of tennis courts.5.2 This practice is not intended for applications wherefencing higher than 12 ft (3660 mm) is desired for a specialapplication.5.3 Caution Regarding Windscreens If wind screens areto be installed at the time of fence erection or at
11、a later time, itis advisable to use stronger framework and parts and closerspacing of posts or back bracing depending upon the type ofscreening material to be used, area of fence to be covered, andlocal wind conditions.
