2. Intrusion Resistance: Fabricate for maximum strength against the use of ordinary hand tools to bend pickets in a manner that would enlarge openings sufficiently to allow passage of intruders through the fence.

3. Anti-Ram and Anti-Climb Design: The requirement to use anti-ram or anti-climb design for each section of perimeter fence is identified on Construction Drawings. The fence designs included in the “Physical Security Detail Handbook” reference document in the OBO Design Standards are not specifically certified by Diplomatic Security (DS); rather, these designs depict previously developed designs that have been considered acceptable by DS and OBO in terms of providing “non-climb” and “non-man-passable” design. Other designs that address those security considerations are permissible from a security standpoint.

a. This Specification Section only addresses anti-ram design of perimeter fences in regards to the ornamental metal portion of anti-ram fence assemblies and its interaction with the lower anti-ram portion of those fences.

C. Ornamental Metal Control Fence:

1. Detail, fabricate, and install fencing to match construction of anti-climb perimeter fencing used, if applicable. The control fencing shall not create a climb hazard where it intersects buildings, perimeter walls/fences and other elements.

2. Control Fence Outside Perimeter: Control fencing shall provide a minimum of 2.1 meters of non-climbable protection.

3. Control Fence Within Perimeter: Control fencing shall provide a minimum of 1.2 meters of non-climbable protection.

<WHERE ORNAMENTAL METAL FENCING IS USED FOR CONSULAR BARRIER BELOW, MINIMUM HEIGHT SHALL BE IN ACCORDANCE WITH REQUIREMENTS IN OBO DESIGN STANDARDS.>

4. Consular Barrier: Fencing, where selected as barrier type, shall be minimum height as indicated on Construction Drawings.

D. Ornamental Metal Safety Fence: The following represent minimum safety requirements for ornamental metal safety fence around portions of pools where buildings do not provide safety barriers.

1. Fence Height: Minimum 1200 mm (48 inches) above grade measured on side of barrier that faces away from swimming pool.

2. Opening Limitations: Construct with balusters or ornamental patterns as indicated on Construction Drawings, and such that 100 mm (4-inch) diameter sphere cannot pass through any opening.

3. Vertical Clearance at Grade: Maximum vertical clearance between grade and bottom of barrier shall be 100 mm (4 inches) measured on side of barrier that faces away from swimming pool.
