As requested, an engineer from Empire Laboratories, Inc. has reviewed the proposed fence
construction at the above -referenced location in order to determine the capability of the fence to
resist 100 mile per hour winds.
It is our understanding that a 10-foot high wood fence is to be placed around a proposed volley
ball area at the exterior of the existing building. Based upon the 100 mile per hour winds, it is
recommended that 6"x6" treated lodge pole posts be placed at 6' o.c. embedded in a minimum
10" 0 concrete pier with a minimum 4-foot length. Four 2"x4" horizontal rails per section should
be provided and should be nailed to the 6"x6"s with four.20d ring shank nails each end. The
pickets should be nailed to the rails with a minimum of two 8d galvanized nails at each rail.
If you have any questions, please contact us.
