Can I install the fence in the wall face or directly behind it? Print E-mail
There is some technical information available that show fence posts integrated in the wall face of an SRW or directly behind it. This information typically have disclaimers stating: “Design by Others”, “Not for Construction”, or “Per fence manufacturer specifications.” These details often show up on construction plans and bid documents without anyone assuming responsibility for the design. When the wall goes in for final engineering, the wall designer will almost always use the “buffer zone” concept to satisfy the liability concern related to placing the fence closer to the wall face. This is where the miscommunication can begin because the change in details from original bid documents to final construction drawings often goes unnoticed until the wall is under construction or even completed.
