I have spent numerous days researching this, yours is THE ONLY video that was specific and thorough enough to truly help walk me through the entire assembly. Thank you
This is the best video for one reason...you actually give distances and measurements as well as talking about removing excess and meshing fence together. About to go outside and do my stretching and this made me feel a lot better about it.
Nice video ..I've been putting up fences here in the Netherlands for almost 25 years and i always look for postings of people putting up fences all around the world because of professional interest thanks for the posting
I've seen numerous....a ton of videos on this but yours is probably one of the best (just being fair to those I have not seen). You are not racing through each step and yet not slow enough to get me bored. Thanks for the video. It is much appreciated.
Thanks very much for putting this up. I'm on a major budget and the local fence company wanted $2600 dollars for 100 foot of fence and two single gates. So I've started doing it myself. This video really helps. Thanks again.
This is a residential fence, we use 11 gauge chain link and .075 pipe. These are heavy specs, you can't buy this material at Home Depot. We are a 75 year old family business, we have a fantastic reputation because of our work and honesty so, I must disagree with you on all accounts.
Very helpful way of doing it right the first time. Thank you and keep posting more how to do things, this way you are helping many of us. Thank you again!
I'll let you guys know tomorrow... cause my brother and I are going to install a real easy stretch tomorrow. This video sure explained a lot to me! Thanks.
Good video. A few pointers. 1.) It's stronger to have the top rail pieces connect together next to a post and not in the center of the section. 2.) For the double gate they make a part called a drop rod assembly, which looks a little better, bolt on, and is lockable 3.) If you use a small piece of chain to wrap around the post and connect to cablejack to that instead of wrapping it around the pole its less wear on the cable and makes your tool last longer. 4.) I didn't see a 9 gauge tension wire at the bottom.
This video was fantastic. I actually got half way through (part 1) and then ended it quickly when I realized that you were not explaining in detail.....like this, what you were doing. Thanks for the second video. The first one should be burned. ;)
This is a fantastic video. I wish we had watched it before doing ours. Any chance you have anything on custom building very large drive gates (82" each gate panel, 4' tall)? We don't have the option of putting a drive gate on casters since the gate opening is in a confined space.
The gate looks fine but why is the top rail so uneven and crooked....?? There are places along the gate that are 2-3" higher than other spots. Did you not set the support poles level?
About how much would a about 13 to15 ft long chainlink fence cost installed and all by a pro? I'm asking because someone wanted to charge me 600 and I think is a bit to much. What is your opinion?
great video. but shouldn't there run a wire all along the bottom part of the link so you can't lift it up ? this might be a local requirement though. ....
Thank you for the video! What are the specifications of the band saw you use here? I'm looking to get one to cut a galvanized pipe, and I want to make sure I get the right one. Thank you!
What kind of a drill bit goes through the chain link poles? That's what I've had the hardest time with. Home Depot must have told me the wrong kind because all the bits I tried dulled out before I was able to get half way through. Help?
Seems the main thing is the posts should be installed vertical and not tilted in an attempt to match the grade. The top rail would be angled as needed to keep it parallel with the slope of the ground.
The gate has metal pieces shaped sort of like a J that hold the gate mess to the smaller "rod". Does anyone know what that is? I bought a gate and it only had two on one side and three on the other so I asked to have it sent out to me. They sent me a tension band. That is not what I am looking for. It is not a piece you need to put on as it should already be on it but my gate was missing one.
