TYPES OF FENCES
The majority of fence types are included in
the British Standard 1722 of which a copy can usually be found at any local
library.
However, the more common types of fence to be found
in domestic sites are:
|
BS 1722 part 11 |
|
|
BS 1722 part 4 |
|
|
BS 1722 part 1 |
|
|
BS 1722 part 5 |
Because British Standard 1722:Fences is the
quality standard, you should ask that your fence is to be quoted on this
specification.
If a fence is not covered by BS1722, call upon the installer to quote to the
spirit of the standard especially if timber is used which must be pressure
impregnated against decay and for long life. Fences over 1.2m [four foot] in
height should have posts set in concrete.
If the fence you need is not to BS1722, send us a description and we will give you a 'tight' specification that will maximise its life and general presentation.
