CONSTRUCTION OF WIRE MESH FENCE

1 MATERIAL IN FENCE:

Wire mesh fence shall conform to Specifications and Drawings.


2 CONSTRUCTING FENCE:

Wire Mesh fence shall be constructed in accordance with Standard Drawing of the Standard
Specifications, with 240 cm high fabric topped with three strands of equally spaced barbed wire
attached to 45-degree post top mounted breakaway arms for a total fence height of 320 cm, unless
otherwise specified or shown on the Plans.

The line of the fence shall be cleared of all obstructions and surface irregularities and the bottom of
the fence shall be to uniform grade as may be established by the Engineer. The posts shall be spaced
not more than 300 cm apart and at points specifically shown on the Plans.

Terminal posts, gate posts, and line posts shall be set 100 cm in concrete footings. Concrete shall be
25 N/mm2 grade as set forth in these Specifications. Concrete footings for terminal, gate and line posts
shall be allowed to cure for not less than seven (7) days before wire fabric is placed. Set posts to
within 15 cm from the bottom of the concrete footing. Set top of footing at post 5 cm above finish
grade. Slope top of footing for water runoff.

Stretcher bar and truss bands shall be spread and slipped on end, corner, pull, brace, and gate posts
before installation of top rails. Extension joints shall be provided for rails at intervals of 30 meters.
Bottom tension wire shall be seven (7) gauge galvanized coil spring steel.

The placing of the rails, braces, and the wire fabric shall be accomplished in such a manner that the
finished fence shall be taut, true, and of precise workmanship throughout. The fabric shall be stretched
so that no slack sections remain at any point. The fabric shall be securely tied to posts and rails in a
manner so that the fabric will remain tight and immovable. Position fabric 5 cm finish grade. Attach
fabric to end, corner, and gate posts with tension bars and tension bar clips.

Install gates using fabric to match fence. Install three (3) hinges per leaf. Install latch, catches, foot
bolts and sockets, retainer and locking clamp. Provide concrete center rest and drop bolt retainers at
center of double gate openings. Install center brace rail on all gate leaves. Gates shall be so set that
they are true and will swing freely in the direction indicated on the Plans.

Provide standard commercial grade locking latches for use with padlocks on all gates, and provide
3/S"diameter U-bolts welded (1/4" fillet weld) to gate posts and gate frame for backup chain and lock.
