Any suggestions on what i should use for a number on interior chain link fencing and gates?

I agree with Lynn that they may mean wire mesh partitions, which really do function better that chain link for most interior applications. But if the owner is sure that they want actual chain link, I'd just give it a different number and name to avoid confusion; perhaps 10 22 53 Chain Link Fencing Partitions.

A recent animal shelter project used chain-link systems for interior openings, which I spec'd in 108225 "Chain Link Gates" (a modification of 108223 "Interior Grilles & Screens").

I guess it looks right to them, they are used to it, and they are the client. This might be where the cultural image of chain link is more important than the functionality. I always put it in the DIV 10's, creating a logical sub-number from the wire mesh partition template. Try as I might and show them the virtues of small cross section orthogonal posts, designed from the get-go for floor slab to ceiling slab anchorage, with ready to go interface with interior door hardware, not to mention powder coated in your choice of color. No!; They want those silly round posts, with afterthought slab anchorage brackets and all the soft tolerances that come with the quality assurance specs for chain link fencing Site Work.

For those of us who are acronym impaired (we never tweet), what does "TI" stand for, as in "TI projects"? Is it important to the question posed? Here are a few possibilities that I found. Thanks.

Too Indifferent? Totally Icky? Curious: How do you stablize chain link fences at interior applications? Do you embed the posts into the concrete or bolt down a receiver to the face of the concrete to support the post? How high can the fence be? Do you use a toprail or tension wire? Do you need to rely on wall mounted attachments or bracing? Floor-to-ceiling attachments? scott piper (Unregistered Guest) Unregistered guest Posted on Monday, October 22, 2012 - 09:43 am:    We have also typically placed interior chain link in division ten. I do believe there are areas where interior chain link is appropriate in lieu of wire mesh partitions. IE: animal shelters (powder coat looks nice but urine is not it's friend), interior batting cages, police stations in the sallyport areas. We have also used square posts in lieu of the round ones at times because is makes attachement details easier to assemble. Your typical fencing contractor can get the square posts easily as long as you give them some notice. Sheldon Wolfe Senior Member Username: sheldon_wolfe Post Number: 594 Registered: 01-2003 Posted on Monday, October 22, 2012 - 10:45 am:    Ken, our typical installation fills an opening, so the side posts and bottom rail are anchored to walls and floor. Top rail, no tension wire. If it fills the opening, the top rail is anchored above. Tool cribs and other designs that are free-standing or require corner posts are done with wire mesh partitions. J.

I aways make sure the client understands what they are getting. Sometimes you have to spend the money on a wire mesh partition system.
