This part of BS 1722 specifies requirements for the construction and
installation of general pattern and dropper pattern strained wire fences
and rectangular wire mesh fences, including mild steel or high tensile
woven wire fencing, welded mesh fencing, hexagonal wire netting
fences of the general pattern, and spring steel wire pattern fences where
the mesh is fixed onto spring steel line wires.
This standard includes requirements for protective treatments.
However, maintenance requirements of the fence after installation are
outside the scope of this standard.
NOTE Figure 1 illustrates the general characteristics of strained wire
fences. It is not intended to illustrate any particular requirements of this
standard but provides guidance as to the general layout of a typical fence,
and on the terminology associated with this form of fencing.
