Chain Link Fence Fabric with ASTM accessories as boundary for your property

Chain link fences fabric are durable and can provide excellent security. Because these fences don’t block views, they are a good choice for keeping an eye on pets and small children. Most home centers, lumberyards, and fence suppliers stock all of the parts required — chain link mesh, posts, rails, and hardware. Just tell the dealer how long and how tall you want the fence to be. He or she will help you select necessary components to build the fence. Specify whether or not you want to include a chain link gate in the project.

Many people are intimidated by the number of components in a chain link fence and although tall fences are best installed by a fence contractor, low chain link fences (48 inches or less) are actually simple to install. The biggest challenge may be tracking down a fence puller, the tool that stretches the chain link mesh between the posts. A fence puller consists of a winch known as a come-along, a chain, and a fence-pulling rod. You may have to check several tool rental shops before you find one that carries fence pullers.

Building the Fence

The first step in building a fence is planning the layout and then marking the fence location with stakes and string. Once you’ve done that, mark post locations along the string with bright-colored chalk. If you’re installing the fence on a property line or if the fence must meet certain setback requirements, you’ll need to establish the exact location of the line to avoid disputes with neighbors or to make sure the fence meets local ordinances.

Once you’ve located your property lines, mark the corners with surveyor’s stakes or other markers. If you’re building a fence within the property, establishing the locations of end posts and corner posts is usually done by measuring out from one or more existing reference points on the property, such as the house, the driveway, an existing fence, or other landmarks. The information here explains how to locate posts for a straight fence built on flat ground with corners meeting at 90 degrees. It is likely your situation is not so ideal, but with these instructions and a little common sense, you can lay out posts for just about any fence design.

Residential

Chain link fencing can provide years of maintenance free and long lasting protection. It is the preferred fencing for residential areas because of its affordability, durability and ease of care. It can be used as a boundary for your property, as well as to help keep your children and pets safe.

Chain Link Fencing

Chain link can come in the following options:

Galvanized Chain Link: The steel components of this fence are coated with zinc, to ensure longevity. The caps, rail ends and line tops are made from die-cast aluminum, including the ties that connect the chain link to the framework.

Vinyl Chain Link: The components for this type of chain link are the same as the galvanized version; however, the actual mesh (chain link) is coated with vinyl polyester. It comes in black, brown, green and white, and provides an attractive appearance.

Painted: For a complete change of appearance, you can choose a painted fence. It begins with the original galvanized fencing, and from there, the chain link (mesh) is coated in the vinyl polyester. All other components are powder coated, to enhance durability and appeal to your fence and property.
