AASHTO M 281-96 (2018) PDF Download

The AASHTO M 281-96 (2018) standard specifies the requirements for steel fence posts and assemblies that are manufactured using hot-wrought sections. These posts and assemblies are specifically designed for use in field and line fencing applications. The standard allows for different shapes of posts, such as tee, channel or U, Y-bar, or angle, providing flexibility in design options.

In terms of finish, the posts are typically furnished painted or galvanized, unless otherwise specified. This ensures that the posts have adequate protection against corrosion and other environmental factors. The standard helps to ensure that the steel fence posts and assemblies meet the necessary quality standards and provide durable and reliable solutions for fencing projects.
