Chain Link Tennis Court Fence – Zinc, Aluminum, Polymer Coated

Chain-link fencing around tennis courts is built from various types of chain-link fabric and framework materials. Usually, 10 ft or 12 ft (3050 or 3660 mm) high chain-link fencing as complete enclosures around single or multiple tennis courts, or as backstops at either end of tennis courts. Wind screens may be used upon local wind conditions. The specification of chain link tennis fence and gates is accordance with ASTM F969.

CTCF-1: Galvanized chain link tennis courts fence.

CTCF-2: Polymer-coated tennis courts fence with double gates.

Type of chain link fabric coating:

• Type I: aluminum-coated steel chain-link fence.
• Type II: with zinc-coated steel chain-link fence fabric, Class 1 or Class 2 coating.
• Type III: zinc-5% aluminum-mischmetal alloy-coated steel chain-link fence fabric, Class 1 or Class 2 coating.
• Type IV: polymer-coated steel chain-link fence fabric, Class 1, Class 2a, or Class 2b coating.
  Colors for polymer-coated: dark green, olive green, brown, black.

Notice: select the same type and color for polymer-coated chain link fence materials such as chain link fence fabric, framework, tension wire, posts, rails, gate frames, and fittings.

• Bottom tension wire shall be used except where continuous bottom rail is specified.
• Bottom tension wire shall be attached to the bottom diamond of the chain-link fabric.

Fittings: line cap, brace ends, top rail sleeves, tie wire and clips, tension bands, brace bands, tension bars.

Tennis court fence gates:

• Chain Link Gate Fabric
  • Size of core wire: 0.120 in. (3.05 mm) 11 gauge or 0.148 in. (3.76 mm) 9 gauge.
  • Size of fabric mesh: 13/4 in. (44 mm).
