Non-Climbable Property-Protection \flood

Fence

Wood has been called upon to play innumerable new roles in the war efiort not only because it is well suited for the jobs but to relieve the pressure on critical materials. Typical example is the nonclimbable wood fence designed by the product development laboratory of General Timber Service, Inc., for Weyerhaeuser Sales Company for the protection of ordnance plants, air fields, shipyards and industrial properties. It is made of durable Douglas Fir in three heights-4, 7 and 8 footand is shipped knocked down in carload quantities only with all parts or members accurately machined for easy assembly. In each lO-foot section there are 21 pointed pickets 2"x2"x6 held between two 2"x4" rails at top and bottom. Rails are notched to one-half the thickness of the pickets so that the two faces of the rails meet. End of rails are supported in notches which are cut into a pair of mortised strips, or cleats, that are fastened to the wide sides of the posts. This method of fabrication leaves the post intact and promotes economical, rapid erection. The 20" pickets on the guard rail are pointed at both ends and are set at a 45o angle.
