About this file
This document is a technical specification for high-security chain link fences and gates (Section 323113.53), detailing comprehensive requirements for fence installation at a federal facility. The specification covers specific technical requirements for fence components, including chain-link fabric with 0.148-inch steel wire diameter and 2-inch mesh size, zinc-coated to ASTM A392 standards, framework posts meeting ASTM F1043 for heavy industrial use, and horizontal-slide gates conforming to ASTM F1184. Performance requirements include strict deflection limits: maximum 2.5 inches of fabric tension when a 30-lbf force is applied, and maximum 3/4-inch post movement under a 50-lbf force.
Installation specifications mandate precise post setting in concrete, with line posts spaced uniformly at 10 feet on center, terminal posts installed at alignment changes, and barbed wire arms bolted to post tops. The fence must be installed on established boundary lines, with chain-link fabric applied on the approach side of the fence, pulled taut, and secured to posts, rails, and tension wires. Additional features include a 2-inch clearance between the fence bottom and finished grade, aluminum barbed wire arms, and a five-year warranty period. The specification provides detailed guidance for contractors on materials, construction methods, and quality standards for high-security perimeter fencing.
