Fences – Specification for close-boarded fences and wooden palisade fences
| Published By | Publication Date | Number of Pages |
| BSI | 2018 | 40 |
This part of BS 1722 specifies requirements for close-boarded and wooden palisade fences. It includes requirements for the installation of the fencing at the specified location.
This standard specifies requirements for protective treatments. However, maintenance, which is an important aspect of extending the service life of the fence, is outside the scope of this standard.
This standard includes requirements for sizes of components, 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.
