Chain Link Fence Installation Process

Here's Exactly What Happens During Installation

First, we assess your property to determine the best fence layout and height for your specific needs. We locate property lines and mark underground utilities before any digging begins.

Next, we set the terminal posts (corner and end posts) in concrete, ensuring they’re perfectly level and properly spaced. Line posts follow, typically spaced 6-8 feet apart depending on your fence specifications.

Once posts are set and cured, we install the top rail and hang the chain link fabric. We stretch it to proper tension, secure it with tension bands, and attach tie wires every 24 inches. Finally, we install gates and any additional features like privacy slats or bottom rails for pet containment.

Chain link fences require minimal maintenance compared to wood or vinyl options.

Remove vegetation growing through the fence to prevent damage. With proper installation and basic maintenance, your chain link fence will last 15-20 years.
