BSI | 2018 | 24 |
This part of BS 1722 specifies requirements for the materials, design, construction and installation of prefabricated wood panel fences constructed from softwood panels fixed between timber or concrete posts. This standard does not cover fences of a height greater than 2 m above ground level.
This standard includes requirements for protective treatments. However, maintenance requirements of the fence after installation are outside the scope of this standard.
It specifies requirements for the components that make up a fence and the way in which the fence should be constructed. The standard includes requirements for component dimensions, together with the permissible tolerances on size. These are minimum requirements and it will normally be acceptable to use larger sizes, except if this could adversely affect the fitting of components or if replacement parts are required to match with those already present.
NOTE 1 Prefabricated wood panel fences are suitable for housing, for dividing boundaries and for visual screens. They are not suitable for fencing which is exposed to animal or personnel loading. They are also not suitable for some very exposed areas such as headlands and high hills liable to abnormally high winds.
NOTE 2 Annex A lists items that should be agreed between the fence supplier and the purchaser.
