Chain Link Fence Installation

What Is A Chain Link Fence?

A chain link fence is a fencing made of interlocking metal wire strands. Manufacturers usually galvanize the wires to prevent rusting. More so, you can also cover them with a plastic or vinyl coating for added durability. The name comes from manufacturers arranging the wire strands in a series of parallel lines, or chains, with small gaps between them.

Chain link fences are used to enclose yards and gardens or to create secure boundaries around commercial and industrial properties. Other people also use it often in sport, as they provide an inexpensive way to create an enclosed playing field. Chain link fences comes in various heights and gauges. We can also customize with various accessories, such as barbed wire or privacy slats.



Advantages of Using Chain Link Fences

There are many fencing options available to choose from. The simple wood fence, vinyl, and chain link are all popular choices. But, each has its advantages and disadvantages. Chain link fences are an exceptional choice for several reasons. Its benefits include:

Affordability

Chain link fences are one if not the most affordable option on the market. Chain link cheaper than wood, vinyl, or wrought iron. It is also inexpensive to install than other fencing options.

However, you can also use chain link fences to create curb appeal and add value to a home. It is essential to consider the fence color, height, and gate design when choosing chain link fencing to enhance the appeal of your home or business.

Low Maintenance

A chain link fence is a cost-effective way to provide security and privacy for your home or business. Unlike wood or vinyl fences, chain link fences require little maintenance and can last for years with proper care. You can easily clean them using a hose or pressure washer.

Visibility

Visibility is essential when it comes to security fences. A chain link fence offers good visibility while providing a high-security level. The diamond-shaped openings in the fence allow for good visibility during the day and at night. This makes it easy to see if there is any activity around the perimeter of the fence.

Durability

Chain links are made from a network of coated steel wires. Thus, they can withstand wind, sun, and rain. They will not rust or rot, especially if you coat them with exterior-grade paint. Of course, regular maintenance and proper care will prolong its lifespan.

Easy Installation

A chain link fence is an excellent option if you want a durable, long-lasting one. Chain link fences are made of steel, so they are solid and can withstand high winds and other severe weather conditions. They are coated with a rust-resistant material so they won't corrode or rust over time.

As with the installation process, our team strictly follows these steps:

Step 1: On-site Preparations

Before we start the installation, there are a few preparations that we make. First, we mark the route of the fence line. We carefully measure the area to ensure that we install the posts correctly. Next, we remove any trees or other obstacles that could impede installation. We also guarantee to clear the area of debris and level. Finally, once done with these preparations, installation can begin.

Step 2: Installing the Posts

The second step is to set the posts. Posts are typically made of metal or wood. They can be either buried underground or put on a concrete footing. Concrete footing provides extra support and stability, making it ideal for areas that experience high winds or severe weather conditions. Once the posts are in place, we connect them with bracing wire to ensure they are secure.

Step 3: Attaching the Mesh

Next, we attach the mesh to the posts. The mesh holds the chain link in place and prevents it from sagging. To attach the mesh, we wrap it around the posts and secure it with binding wire. We ensure that the mesh is tight so there are no gaps between the posts. Once done wrapping all the posts, we move on to the next step.

Step 4: Attaching the Top Rail Sleeve

The top rail provides stability to the fence and keeps it from sagging. It comprises metal or wood that we securely attach to each post. We drill holes into the top of each post. Next, we insert bolts into the holes and tighten them so that the top rail is securely in place. Finally, we check all the connections to ensure they are tight.

Step 5: Installing the Fittings

The next step in installing this type of fence is to install any fittings that may be required. Fittings include tension bars, twist-lock pins, eye-tops, and end caps. These fittings help to keep your fence secure and adequately tensioned. They also provide a finished look by hiding sharp edges or protruding wires. To install fittings, we follow the manufacturer's instructions. Once all the fittings are in place, your fence is complete!

Step 6: Quality Check and Clean-Up

The last step is to do a quality check and clean up any construction debris. We have a dedicated team that does quality checks. This step ensures we deliver an excellent product to you. Also, we make sure we leave you free from any waste or debris so you can readily enjoy your new fence.
