I'm designing a baseball backstop for a city recreation park in Florida. The Owner wants a 28' foot high backstop - 18' of chain link fence topped with 10' of netting. I'll check for adequate wind load strength as an open sign using ASCE-7. And I'm planning on checking it for a railing horizontal load to allow for people leaning against it.
Any words of wisdom from others who have done one of these?
