snow loads on chain link material
snow loads on chain link material
(OP)
I have been asked to analyze a baseball backstop that has a relatively large "roof". The structure consists of steel poles embeded in the ground, with chain link fencing on the sides and "roof". I know how to handle wind loads, via a document from the chain link fence manufacturer's institute.
Does anyone know what to use for snow loads on a horizontal plane of chain link fence material? I will also be contacting the chain link fence people.

I concur with the direction you're taking - design for ice and wind per ASCE-98. They have a map (Fig. C10-1) that shows how much wind/ice for your region of the country, assuming this is in the US.
Good luck!
