Standard Guide for Temporary Fence Applications for Construction Sites

Importancia y uso:

5.1 This guide sets forth the minimum standard requirements for the application of temporary fences for construction sites by installing 6 or 8 ft (1.83 or 2.44 m) high temporary construction fence enclosures used to delineate and form a physical barrier on the construction site. A wide variety of materials, both new and used, are acceptable as long as the finished product is neat and uniform in appearance.

5.2 Temporary fences should form a continuous barrier, panel type fence to be securely attached together or to a supporting post with steel fitting forming a positive connection.

Note 1: Warning to end user regarding screening: Wind screens applied to a fence form a solid barrier. The temporary fence described in this standard is not capable of handing 110 MPH wind gusts per ASCE/SEI 7-10. If screening is to be installed the fence should be researched and designed the same as a permanent fence to support the wind load; refer to Chain Link Manufacturers Institute Wind Load Guide, WLG 2445.

Note 2: Warning to end user regarding installations adjacent to open excavation and street corners. Refer to contract documents, site plans, or local codes for fence offset from excavations and to ensure vehicles a clear line of sight for street corner safety.
