INSTALLATION PROCESS
Step 1: Preparing fence layout
Call local utilities companies to layout all of the underground lines and locate property boundary layout
Measure the overall length based on fence planned to determine how many ft of chain-link fabric and top rail required.
Mark the location of each terminal post (corner, end, and gate posts are called terminal posts) with a stake and tie the string line to it. To square the corners, measure 3 ft down one string line and 4 ft along the adjacent string line when measure diagonally, it should be 5 ft
Step 2: Setting terminal posts
Dig terminal post holes approx. 8" wide and 30" deep by using post hole digger, digging bar and a shovel
Consider using the power auger if the hole that going to be dig is more than one
Mark the ground line on post by using crayon / chalk where the height above the level ground of terminal post will equal the height of the fence fabric plus 2
Center the terminal post in the hole also make sure that the posts are plumb and set at the correct height
Next, surround the posts with concrete in a continuous pour plus trowel finish around posts and slope downward to direct water away
Step 3: Setting line posts
When the terminal post footings have hardened enough to stabilize the post, stretch a string line between the terminal post
The string should be positioned on the outside face of the post 4" below the top
The height, above level ground of line posts will equal to the height of the fabric minus 2"
Measure the distance between terminal posts and refer to post spacing chart to determine the distance between line posts
Dig line post holes and center the line posts in the holes make sure the posts are plumb, aligned with the centers of terminal post and set at the correct height
Surround posts and fill up with wet concrete in a continuous pour and trowel finish around posts and slope downward to direct water away
Step 4: Installing post fittings
Place a brace band and install bolt and nuts loosely
Install the tension band where the flat side faces to the outside
Place another brace band near the top with a rail end cup and tighten with a ratchet and socket
Place post cap on the posts
The tension band needed is the height of the fence in feet minus with 1, so 4 feet fence requires 3 tension bands per hook-up
For corner post, double up the band for each direction and at the top alternate cup of each brace band one up an one down
Step 5: Installing top rails
Place post top on the top of each line post with the offset loop facing toward the outside of the fence
Slide the top rail through the line of the post top into the end of the top rail and attach it to a terminal post by using a rail end band
Secure by tighten a carriage bolt with the head facing to the outside of the fence
Continue adding top rail by sliding each rail over the narrow end of the previous rail with top rail sleeves
At the end, measure and mark the top rail and cut the top rail to fit tightly between the last length of top rail and the rail end.
Fasten and tighten rail end to rail end band on the terminal post to secure the top rail by using the carriage bolt.
Step 6: Installing tension wire
Wrap tension wire once around the bottom rail end band with carriage bolt about 2 inches off the ground
Twist by using the pliers for several times to secure the tension wire
Tension wire should run along with the same side of the posts as the fabric
Apply tension wire clips apart or as needed for securing the wire to the chain-link fabric
Step 7: Installing fence fabric
Starting at a terminal post, unroll chain-link fabric on the ground along the outside of the fence line to the next terminal post
Virtual slide a tension bar through the first row of chain-link diamonds
Fasten evenly spaced tension bands at the terminal post to the tension bar by using carriage bolts
Stand the fabric up against the fence frame and pull out any excess slack
Loosely attach fabric to top rail with a few fence ties to hold it in place
To removed any excess fabric, loosen a strand of wire and twist it out by using the pliers until the fabric comes apart
Step 8: Stretching fence fabric
Temporarily insert a tension bar about 3 ft inside the unattached end of the fabric
Securely fasten one end of the fence stretcher to the tension bar and other end to the terminal post
Stretch the fabric and the correct fabric tension is tight enough when it can be squeezed just a little bit by hand
Once it tight enough, remove the temporary tension bar and excess fabric
Insert a tension bar at the end of the fabric and connect to tension bands on terminal post by using bolts and nuts
Remove come along stretcher bar and temporary tension band
