Depending on location, all steel posts shall be (16') spaced, except where wooden braces or corners are located. Wooden bracing, corner braces and gates shall be installed initially, with the fence installed in a straight line between them. At all low points, anchors shall be installed. At the discretion of the contractor, the spacing of posts may be closer than 16’ when running up or down a steep grade; spacing may be no closer than 10’. Additionally, the contractor may alternate wooden anchor posts and steel posts where deemed necessary to retain the integrity of the structure. Fence will be expected to be placed where walking up/down a grade is possible. Existing fence lines must be either repaired to new fence specifications, or removed to make way for new fence to be installed.

B. Excavation and Backfilling Wood Posts. Using 6" diameter posts (8" diameter when installing round tubular steel gate(s)), carry all excavations down to the required depth of 42" below ground level, regardless of the soil conditions encountered. Post holes, cylindrical in shape and plumb with the centers in true alignment with bottoms flat. Set posts in center of holes. Deposit backfill and carefully tamp in lifts a maximum of 6" in thickness. Restore surfaces to existing grade after mounding, tamping, and smoothing off. Dispose of excess waste excavation as directed by the

COR.

C. Power Drive Wood Posts. Upon approval, set wood posts by means of an approved power post driver in lieu of excavation and backfill method where terrain and soil conditions to be penetrated are suit-able.

At low points with severe elevation changes, anchors shall be installed on both sides of the post(s). In areas where the soil is exceptionally rocky, an appropriately sized rock(s) properly fastened and hanging from the fence shall be substituted. Studded t-post anchors shall be installed, as determined by the COR, at corners where stresses tend to pull posts from the ground. Corner anchors shall be installed at an angle opposite the direction of pull.

4.10 ROUND TUBULAR STEEL GATES.

Gates shall be 16' wide x 48" high. Gate shall be installed in the mid-line of the left-hand (single gate) 8" appurtenance post when entering and with the bottom horizontal rail a minimum of 6" above ground level and a maximum of 12” above the ground. The gate should be constructed of a minimum of 3” solid steel piping/tubing. The bottom hinge shall be installed 9" above ground level and the top hinge installed 8" below the top of the post. Gate shall be installed with the hinges as close to the post(s) as possible without eliminating the ability to make adjustments to allow for proper alignment. Gate shall be hung with the bottom hinge mounting pin pointed upward and the top mounting hinge pin pointed downward. Gate shall be adjusted so they are level and do not drag on the ground when swung completely open or closed. Gate shall be adjusted with a 2" gap between them (double gates) or the closed position appurtenance post.
