BS 1722-1:1999
Ground conditions may indicate that a variation in the length of a post or strut, or the
Licensed Copy: Mr. Universiti Teknologi Malaysia User, Universiti Teknologi Malaysia, 29/06/2011 03:08, Uncontrolled Copy, (c) BSI
depth to which these would be set, is desirable. The posts and struts and setting
depths specified in this standard are intended for use in normal ground conditions, but
if special conditions exist (e.g. the ground is softer or firmer than usual), and these
warrant variations in the specification, these variations should be agreed with the
specifier. This also applies to other similar variations.
To assist suppliers and purchasers of chain link fences, annex A lists items that should
be specified at the time of ordering.
As with BS 1722-1:1986, this revision specifies a method of allocating a reference code
to each type of fence, indicating its height, the type and weight of infill, and the
materials of the posts and the type of wire coating. These type references are given in
Tables 1 and 2. For uniformity the heights given in Tables 1 and 2 are of the main infill
material, and exclude any ground clearance at the base, or additional height provided
by extension arms for barbed wire. Wire and chain link sizes are selected from BS EN
10223-6. This revision includes a specification for 2.15 m fence, and other minor
changes from BS 1722-1:1986, including some changes to requirements for concrete
and timber post and strut sizes.
The type of gate specified in this standard is a steel frame gate with chain link infill.
For gates for domestic purposes, timber or ªwrought ironº gates may be preferred.
These types of gate are specified in BS 4092.
This part of this standard specifies requirements for fence materials and their
combination and erection. Because a fence is made up of a number of separate
components of which the particular features vary, there are a number of combinations
available to the user. Annex A provides details of the fence requirements and erection
site that should be agreed between the fence supplier and purchaser. However, as
conditions vary from site to site, annex A should not be assumed to be exhaustive.
It has been assumed in the drafting of this part of BS 1722 that execution of its
provision is entrusted to appropriately qualified and experienced people. Before
erection commences, the lead erector should either:
a) have achieved the appropriate National Vocational Qualification (NVQ) or Scottish
Vocational Qualification (SVQ) in fence erection (Level 2) relevant to this part of BS
1722; or
b) be currently registered for the appropriate NVQ or SVQ in Fence Erection (Level
2) relevant to this part of BS 1722, provided registration has not been in place for
more than 5 years from the date of registration without successful assessment
having taken place.
A British Standard does not purport to include all necessary provisions of a contract.
Users of British Standards are responsible for their correct application.
Compliance with a British Standard does not of itself confer immunity
from legal obligations.
