A standards organization that publishes technical standards for materials, products and testing, including many used in fencing.
ASTM International describes itself as an organization that develops and publishes voluntary technical standards for materials, products, systems and services. Fence materials such as chain link fabric, steel pipe, galvanized coatings and wood preservatives often refer to ASTM standards in their specifications. Owners in Nashville comparing quotes may see those numbers in product sheets and wonder what they mean.
We are an independent company and are not part of ASTM. When a quote or a product sheet names a standard, we explain in plain language what it covers, such as coating weight or wire gauge, and why it matters for life and strength. We do not interpret the standards for engineering use, and we encourage you to read the official site if you want more detail.
