This British Standard, a part of the BS 1722 series, specifies requirements for steel palisade fences and gates for general purposes (GP) in corrugated and angle pales for heights up to 2.4 m and for security (SP) purposes in corrugated pales for heights of 3.0 m and 3.6 m, all with posts at 2.75 m centres. This standard also covers fences between 2.4 m and 3.0 m in height with components constructed to the SP specification.
This standard specifies requirements for fence materials and their combination and installation.
In situations of extreme exposure or abnormal loading it will be necessary to carry out a special appraisal and for the design criteria to be specified.
BS 1722-12:2006 supersedes BS 1722-12:1999 which will be withdrawn
