Installing chain link fence involves a systematic process that ensures durability and stability. Begin by marking the perimeter with stakes and string, outlining where posts will be placed. Dig post holes using a post hole digger, ensuring they are deep enough to anchor the posts securely—typically 24 to 36 inches, depending on soil type. Set terminal posts first, using concrete to secure them, and ensure they are plumb with a level. Allow the concrete to cure as per manufacturer guidelines. Next, install line posts at regular intervals, usually 6 to 10 feet apart, securing them with concrete as well. Once posts are set, attach the top rail, cutting it to fit between terminal posts and securing it with rail ends. Unroll the chain link fabric along the fence line, attaching it to one terminal post using tension bands and bolts. Use a tension bar and come-along tool to stretch the fabric tightly across to the opposite terminal post, securing it in place. Attach the fabric to line posts with ties, spacing them every 12 to 18 inches. Finally, install the bottom rail or tension wire to prevent the fabric from sagging. Regular checks during installation ensure the fence is level and secure, providing a reliable enclosure for years to come.
