strength tests, amply exceeds the set code requirements.
Quad-X Reinforced 1� Aluminum PoleLife Saver Pool Fence uses
Quad-X Reinforced 6063T6 1� Aluminum Poles spaced no more than 36� apart.
Mesh is secured to the pole via an aluminum cove molding using roundhead
screws spaced no greater than 6�.
The temper rating of T6 scores
the highest tensile strength (30 ksi) within the 6063 alloy
classification.
On July 14th, 2003, Life Saver Pool
Fence Systems, Inc. contracted Nutting Engineers of Florida, Inc., an ASTM
standards testing lab established in 1967, to test the pole strength as
per the Florida Building Code section 424.2.17.1.15.
At the time of
testing, a lateral force was applied to a single pole at a measurement of
36� from the surface of the deck. In the test, the resistance to lateral
pressure was found to exceed 70 lbs. of pressure before failure on any
single pole in a free standing installation, thus exceeding the 52 lbs. of
horizontal force prescribed by the Florida Building Code section
424.2.17.1.15 Paragraph 1.
