  1. Basic Chain Link Fence Terminologies You Should Know Chain link is a type of fencing material that is durable, versatile, and very affordable. Chain link fences are typically made from galvanized steel wire but may also be manufactured with aluminum or PVC coated steel wire. Chain link fences are often used to keep pets or children enclosed, for security or privacy purposes, or to give the appearance of a formal boundary. Chain link fences are flexible enough to be installed on residential properties but are also common sights at commercial entities.

  3. Before you decide to install a chain fence on your own or hire a professional contractor to do this for you, it is necessary to know the different terminologies involved in the chain link fence installation process. • Fence mesh: Fence mesh is the smallest section of a chain-link fence. The width of the fence mesh depends on what type of fence you purchase and whether it's horizontal or vertical. Generally, you will need to install the width of the mesh that is required by your local building codes for your region.

  4. Line Posts: A-line post is a horizontal or vertical support that is used in the installation of a chain-link fence. The type of A-line post does not matter for the needs of the fence. However, the number of posts required is based on the type of fence you are installing. For example, if you are installing a vertical chain-link fence, you will need to install six posts per length of fencing. On the other hand, if you are installing a horizontal chain-link fence, you will need to install three posts per length of fencing. • Tie Wires: Tie wires are the steel wires that are attached to the top of the fence posts. The tie wire holds both sides of the fence together, keeping it taut. It is important that you install tie wires for both vertical and horizontal chain-link fences to ensure that your fence does not sag or sag over time. • Clips: Clips are steel brackets that find use in supporting the chain links at the top of a chain-link fence. The purpose of clips is to prevent a gap from forming between the top of the fencing and the crossbar on top of the fence. • Anchors: Anchors are steel tubes that support the B-line posts in an easterly direction. The purpose of this is to prevent failure of the fence using both horizontal and vertical chain-link fences. It is necessary that you install an anchor on each end to hold the fencing in place; otherwise, your fence will sag or sag over time.

The purpose of this is to prevent failure of the fence using both horizontal and vertical chain-link fences. It is necessary that you install an anchor on each end to hold the fencing in place; otherwise, your fence will sag or sag over time. • Top rail: The top rail is the frame that is placed on top of the line posts. The purpose of this frame is to prevent your fence from swaying over time. • Bottom rail: The bottom rail is also called a "riding" or "bottom support" fence. It rests on the ground at the bottom of the fence post and helps to stabilize it during times of wind or other outside elements. • Tension bars: Tension bars are used to hold a vertical chain-link fence in place. They normally run along the length of the fence and can be seen as horizontal pieces. The purpose of tension bars is to push the chain links together and make the fence tighter and more secure.

  6. Crossbars: The crossbar on top of a chain-link mesh is used as a decorative piece. It also supports the clips on your fencing so you don't have to worry about missing them when installing your fence. The crossbar can be installed at any time after your fencing installation has been completed. • Loop caps: Loop caps cover the ends of a chain-link fence so you can easily see and access the fence. They are installed on both sides of your fence and will only be visible if your chain-link fencing is horizontal.
