ASTM F969-07 - 1.2.2007
 
Significance and Use

The intended use of this practice is for 10- or 12-ft (3050 or 3660 mm) high chain-link fencing as complete enclosures around single or multiple tennis courts, or as backstops at either end of tennis courts.

This practice is not intended for applications where fencing higher than 12 ft (3660 mm) is desired for a special application.

Caution Regarding Windscreens If wind screens are to be installed at the time of fence erection or at a later time, it is advisable to use stronger framework and parts and closer spacing of posts or back bracing depending upon the type of screening material to be used, area of fence to be covered, and local wind conditions. The Chain Link Fence Manufacturers Institutes (CLFMI), Guide WLG 2445, provides the designer with the process to select the post size and post spacing.
