This document is a technical specification and installation guide for fence construction prepared by the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service, Region 9, Finger Lakes National Forest.

The document provides detailed installation specifications and drawings for wire and wood post fencing systems. Key specifications include maximum post spacing of 20 feet with intermediate stays at 6-foot-8-inch intervals, steel T-posts per contract specifications, and galvanized stays. Fence height is 4 feet with posts extending 2 feet above ground (typical). The fencing system incorporates 8-inch diameter pressure-treated wood posts, 4-inch minimum diameter bracing of pressure-treated wood, and double-wire bracing that is twisted. Installation details cover staple attachment methods (both angled and parallel to posts), Western Union splice techniques for wire connections, wire gate fastener assemblies using 1/8-inch chain and custom hooks, and mechanical gate closers. Gate specifications include both woven wire and barred wire configurations with 16-foot-6-inch post spacing on center. Four 3-inch wood stays are evenly spaced, and 9-gauge smooth wire loops or steel straps are required. The document includes three sheets of technical drawings depicting typical fencing dimensions, end/corner brace details, bracing methodology, fastener specifications, and gate configurations with detailed step-by-step installation instructions for proper wire splicing and attachment techniques.
