Fence Design Loads?
Fence Design Loads?
(OP)
What are the design loads for a fence? I'm designing a 10 ft high ornamental aluminum fence with vertical aluminum bar pickets spaced at 4" oc. What would be the design load to design a vertical picket spanning approximately 10 ft from top to bottom rail?

Wind would be the governing force - with pickets there is the open spaces - but you could be conservative and design it as though its closed off.

The following link is for "Guide for the selection of line post spacing for chain link fence. Chain link fence manufacturers institute publishes it.
