The fences shown vary in height, design and price, but all are alike in that most important particular—the posts. These standard Anchor Posts are U-shaped bars of high carbon steel—a metal very much stronger than ordinary commercial steel or iron. Anchor Posts are Galvanized We are now galvanizing all parts of our wire fences. Our galvanizing is the old-fashioned hot-dip spelter, the best and thickest protection that can be given to metal. Ungalvanized posts are particularly subject to rust at or just below the ground. This is the very part of the post that it is impossible to keep painted, and also the point of greatest strain. They Will Last Twenty Years or More We know that our posts will last twenty years; how much longer we cannot say from actual experience. Tests made by government experts and by mechanical engineers would justify our claiming for them a much longer life. Anchor Post Fences Stay in Line They are not shifted by the action of frost or the stress of hard usage. The post-bar is driven. Digging is not required. It is held from opposite sides by two anchor stakes, driven through sockets clamped to the sides of the post, as shown in trade-mark illustration. Erected by Experienced Men We have been building fences for over twenty years. We have a large force of erectors under the supervision of our home office (or the nearest branch office), trained to set our work as we think it ought to be set. Prices The prices given in the tables are for the fence by the running foot, and include the line posts, wire, top rail, and everything complete, with the exception of the straining posts and gates, which are, quoted extra. The list prices are for material only, and are subject to a discount. Prices, including the cost of erecting, quoted on application. No. 1 No. 3 The above illustrations show the shape and dimensions of our standard U-bar Anchor Posts. In the price list tables these several sizes are referred to by their respective numbers. o Plate No. 3376.

The lower pickets are 134 inches apart; the top ones, ‘l7/% inches. In all of our fences the fabric is securely fastened to the posts by means of heavy wire staples which are driven through holes in the face of the post and bent or clinched down on the inner side. It is also secured to the top rail at frequent intervals by double tie wires.

C HAIN Link Woven Steel is very popular for either front fencing or for divisional lines where a ■ fabric of more than ordinary strength is desired. We make it in two weights of wire, No. 9 being the lighter. No. 6 the heavier. On account of the close mesh, the fence is unclimbable and will keep J out small animals. We build this fence in any height from 8 feet 6 inches up to 10 feet. Plate No. 3445. Chain Link Woven Steel Fence, 4 feet in height Plate No. 3446.

Anchor Post Back Stops and enclosures are designed for this particular service and are permanently efficient and attractive. They are usually built 8 and 10 feet in height, with Anchor Posts, size No. 2; or for heights 12 feet or more, size No. 3. These posts, and in fact every part of the fence and gates, are galvanized by the hot dip spelter process which makes them impervious to rust, both above and below ground. The Drive Anchorage is of particular value to fences of this character and height, as it holds the posts so firmly that they never shift out of line. The End, Corner and Gate Posts are extra strong steel tubing, re-enforced by horizontal brace bars as shown in the following illustrations. The Top Rail is of 1-inch pipe (1^4 inches outside diameter). The Wire Mesh in our standard Tennis Fences is Hexagonal Netting, 1^-inch mesh, No. 18 wire, re-enforced by lateral strands of Coiled Spring Wire. Chain Link Netting is sometimes used and makes a very attractive fence for this purpose, as shown in the illustrations on page 17. These enclosures and back-stops have been installed on hundreds of courts throughout the country. They are permanent investments, lasting year after year—always efficient—always trim in appearance. 48 FT c* 48 FT Plate No. 341 Plate No. 341 A Plate No. 342 Complete Inclosure Half Inclosure Back-Stop Plans of Tennis Court Fences. The dimensions of the fences shown on these plans are approximate only, and can be changed to suit the conditions of individual courts. We do not recom¬ mend making the inclosures smaller than those shown. It is a common mistake to place the back-stops or fences too close to the court. Wherever possible, they should be set from 20 to 25 feet back of the service line, and 12 to 15 feet from the side lines. Plate No. 3408.

Complete instructions for setting up our tennis fences, together with blueprint plan showing location of posts and all details, are furnished with each order. Any intel¬ ligent mechanic following these instructions can set the fence. If desired, however, we will furnish our own men to do this work at the lowest possible charge. In connection with the tennis court, an arbor, pergola, or tea-house is often built where guests and spectators may watch the play. We have equipped a number of courts in this way, and are prepared to fur¬ nish special designs showing the possibili¬ ties of this very attractive feature. Plate No. 3451.
