Fence Specification Sheets

A specification sheet should identify the actual assembly being purchased. Nominal names such as 358 or 868 are useful starting points, but they leave panel sizes, post connections, finish and acceptance requirements to be defined.

An installed panel still needs its finished dimensions and post connection defined.

The worksheet organises dimensions, units, measurement conventions and drawing references. It is a purchasing record to complete for your order, not a pre-approved product design or test certificate.

Keep these descriptions separate

Description What it establishes
Nominal product family General construction or naming convention
Finished component dimensions The size of the part being supplied
Connection drawing How that part fits adjoining components
Acceptance requirements Agreed tolerances, methods and criteria
Performance evidence The specific assembly and scope covered by a report

For example, panel width and post-centre spacing need not be equal. A coated wire diameter is not necessarily the steel-core diameter. Gate leaf width is different from the usable clear opening.

Panel form, edge detail and finished dimensions belong in separate specification fields.

Record the product or item reference, drawing number and revision with the dimensional information. Where an order contains several heights or post types, keep separate rows rather than combining them into an ambiguous range.

Retain the accepted sheet with the quotation and component schedule. If a dimension changes, review the components that connect to it and record the agreed revision.

Installed black double leaf steel swing gate between fence posts
Gate leaf dimensions, post locations and clear opening should follow one agreed revision.
