Chain Link Fence

These do not require struts unless extra support is needed.

Then, use a ratchet strap to pull the mesh tight until it’s properly tensioned.

Once the mesh is tight, remove the ratchet strap.

Inspect the entire structure, checking for weak points, and adjust the tension if required.

Measure the total length between the ends. You will now be able to order the correct length of fencing you need.

The holes should be three times wider than the poles. The depth of the holes should be 1/3 the length of the poles.

Without Concrete: Place them in the middle of the holes, then fill the holes with large stones to hold the poles in place. Then add earth until tight and compact.

Once they are all in place, allow a few days for the concrete to dry up.

Note: If there is no pre-made slot, as a general rule, the brace should be attached at 2/3rd of the upright’s height and at a 45 degree angle.

Place the supports at the correct position to determine where the hole needs to be dug.

Dig out the hole, place rubble on the bottom of it and place the angle support inside.

Cover the hole around the angle support and stomp it down. This can also be concreted in as an alternative.

– 2 lines are enough for heights up to 1.2 metres.
– 3 lines are needed above 1.2 metres in height.

Mark the position for each wire strand on all poles, making sure they’re consistent so that the wire strands will be level with the ground.

Hook it around the concrete, twist it backwards, and wind it around itself 4-5 times to secure the tension.

Note: Skip to step 14 if you don’t have radisseurs.

Thread the wire through the hole positioned in the centre of the radisseur.

Note: Using this method will result in less tension compared to utilising a radisseur.

Important: Make sure to do this with the roll standing up or the roll placed on a flat & even surface with the flap facing upwards to avoid snagging!

Secure the mesh to the first pole using cable ties (or tie wire) at 15cm intervals.
