AASHTO M 279-14 (2018) PDF Download

The AASHTO M 279-14 (2018) standard outlines the requirements for metallic-coated steel fence fabric. The fabric is comprised of horizontal line wires and vertical stay wires, forming rectangular openings. The vertical stay wires can be either wrapped around the line wire (hinge joint) or fixed with another separate wire to the line wire (continuous stay fixed knot joint). This fence fabric is intended for use in various applications, such as farm field enclosures, wildlife and exotic animal control, and highway or railroad right-of-way fencing. It is designed to control access and ensure proper animal containment. The specification covers different designs, tensile strength grades, and metallic coating types and grades, providing flexibility and options for different project requirements.
