Install [top] [and] [bottom] rails before installing chain-link fabric.
Pass top rail through intermediate post caps. Provide expansion coupling
spaced as indicated.
3.2.5
Top and Bottom Tension Wires
**************************************************************************
NOTE: Coordinate with requirements for top and
bottom rails. Bottom tension wire is desirable to
maintain fence alignment and will be retained except
for designs requiring bottom rail.
**************************************************************************
Install [top] [and] [bottom] tension wires before installing chain-link
fabric, and pull wires taut. Place top and bottom tension wires within 200
mm 8 inches of respective fabric line.
3.2.6
Fabric
**************************************************************************
NOTE: Coordinate with requirements for reinforcing
wire and top and bottom rails. Certain security
applications require fabric to be embedded into the
ground or into a concrete curb. When security
fencing with intrusion detection sensors is
required, include bracketed sentence dealing with
deflection of fabric.
**************************************************************************
Pull fabric taut and secure fabric to [top rail] [and] [bottom rail] [and]
[top wire] [and] [bottom wire], close to both sides of each post and at
maximum intervals of 600 mm 24 inches on center. Secure fabric to posts
using stretcher bars, ties or clips spaced 375 mm 15 inches on center, or
by integrally weaving to integral fastening loops of end, corner, pull, and
gate posts for full length of each post. Install fabric on opposite side
of posts from area being secured. Install fabric so that bottom of fabric
is 50 mm 2 inches above ground level [embedded as indicated]. [Install
fence fabric to provide approximately 50 mm 2 inch deflection at center of
fabric span between two posts, when a force of approximately 133 N 30 pounds
is applied perpendicular to fabric. Fabric should return to its original
position when force is removed.]

ACCESSORIES INSTALLATION
3.3.1
Post Caps
**************************************************************************
NOTE: Coordinate with requirements for top rails or
supporting arms.
**************************************************************************
[Design post caps to accommodate top rail.]
Install post caps as
recommended by the manufacturer.
3.3.2
Supporting Arms
**************************************************************************
NOTE: Coordinate with requirements for top rails.
Use supporting arms and barbed wire only when
