Splices made with slice sleeves shall have <br /> a tensile strength no leas than eighty percent (80%) of the strength of the wire. <br /> h. Stays shall be attached to the fencing in a manner to ensure maintenance of the <br /> proper spacing of the fence wire strands_ <br /> Crossings at Depressions and Watercourses <br /> Where the fence crosses a draw, drainage or water course less than thirty feet (30') wide, or <br /> where the bottom of the draw will be more than twenty inches (20") below the bottom wire, <br /> seven feet (7) long steel fence posts shall be driven on each side of the water course and a <br /> deadman anchor shall be fastened to the fence as shown on Standard Drawing Number 9 to <br /> maintain the required wire spacing interval. An acceptable alternate to the deadman anchor is <br /> a five and one-half feet (5-1/2') long standard fence post driven into the slope at a 30o to 450 <br /> angle as shown on Standard Drawing Number 9. Additional wires shall be added for short <br /> distances, as necessary. <br /> Where the fence crosses water courses wider than thirty feet(30% and/or below rock structures, <br /> a 2-1/2-inch x 2-1/2-inch x 1/4-inch x 7 feet long structural steel angle post shall be set 2-1/2 <br /> feet into a concrete base) either twelve inches (12")circular or square, on both sides of the water <br /> course. The posts shall be anchored with either a structural steel brace or deadman anchor, as <br /> shown on Standard Drawing Number 9. Line fence shall be tied off at the post and the fence <br /> across the water course shall be tied to each post. Twisted wire stays shall be spaced on 8 feet <br /> centers. Additional wire or one quarter-inch (1/4") cable may be used as necessary. Floating <br /> deadmen shall be two-inch by eight-inch (2" x 8") timbers tied to all wires so as to equalize the <br /> stress. <br /> Cates <br /> Wire gates to allow for passage of vehicles or livestock shall be installed at location shown on <br /> the drawings and/or as directed by the PROJECT MANAGER. The materials shall conform with <br /> the kinds, grades and sizes of the new fence, and shall include the necessary fittings, stays and <br /> Number 9 smooth wire closures. Gate posts for wire gates shall be included in the length of <br /> fence for measurement and payment. <br /> Gatc posts, for all gates other than wire gates, shall be 6-inch diameter seamless steel pipe, <br /> standard weight (Schedule 40), nine feet (9') long in a three feet by three feet by three feet six <br /> inches (3' x 3' x 3' 6") concrete base. After installation, the entire pipe shall be filled with <br /> concrete. The exposed metal surfaces shall be thoroughly cleaned of all rust, grease and other <br /> foreign substances and painted with one coat of metal primer and two coats of green enamel so <br /> as to match standard steel fence posts_ <br /> Manufactured gates shall be installed at locations marked on the drawings and/or as directed by <br /> the PROJECT MANAGER. Gates shall be fastened to six- inch (6") dianww steel pipe gate <br /> poses with one and one-fourth inch(1-1/4")pipe and one inch(1")pins similar to those furnishod <br /> with the "Heavy Duty Cattle Gate" manufactured by Linn Enterprises, Inc., Linn, Kansas.
