CLFMI Technical Committee Releases 2023 Wind Load Guide

Chain Link Fence Manufacturers Institute’s Technical Committee has announced the release of the 2023 edition of its most popular industry guideline, the Wind Load Guide for the Selection of Line Posts and Line Post Spacing (WLG 2445).

This guide has become the fence industry’s most relied-upon tool to assure that chain link fences are constructed and installed to meet all industry standards. It is intended to provide background information in the forms of charts and tables to assist fence designers and installers in the appropriate selection of fencing line posts for chain link fencing. The guide includes 12 tables for the spacing values of line posts exposed to wind speeds of 105 MPH up to and including 210 MPH. These tables are based on the applicable ASCE 7-22 wind load standards.
