Incorporating Guards, Fences and Barriers
FENCE OPTIONS Design requirements for walls with fences at or near the top depend on the type of fence. With limited wind load, chain link fences are designed the same way as pedestrian guards. Wooden privacy and glass panel guards/fences on walls act as large sails, so the wall must be designed to account for wind loads.
With Oaks Proterra™, you can surface mount some privacy fences or noise barriers to the coping units, as long as the coping is mechanically fastened to at least four additional courses of wall block. Epoxy a rod into a drill hole at each of the four corners of the coping. (See diagram)
