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 preclude any practicethat has proven eq
10、ual 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 multiple tennis courts, or as backs
11、tops 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 are tobe installed at the time of fence erection or at a later time, it isadvisable to
12、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.

33、 in Practice F567.9.2.3 Since in most cases it is impractical to pave the courtsafter setting the posts, it becomes necessary to cut through thefinished pavement and excavate the post holes. The contractspecifications shall indicate whether the concrete footingsaround the posts should be brought up
