Installation of a fence from a chain-link. Do-it-yourself installation of a country fence from a chain-link mesh. Instructions for hanging and tensioning the net by strings

Mesh is widely used for fencing summer cottages. Anyone can install a fence from a chain-link mesh, having a minimum of tools at hand. Subject to the installation technology and the choice of quality materials, such a fence will last 15-20 years. Before starting work, you need to study the types and characteristics of the mesh, as well as study the instructions in detail to avoid mistakes.

The mesh is made of black and galvanized wire, so the quality of the chain-link is different. Black wire mesh is the cheapest and most short-lived. It becomes covered with rust after the first fog or rain, and after 3-4 years it becomes completely unusable. You can extend the service life of a non-galvanized chain-link using paint or liquid rubber, which should be applied to the mesh before installing it, and then periodically renew the protective layer.

The galvanized wire mesh is not afraid of corrosion, and therefore lasts longer. It costs a little more than black, but it does not need a protective treatment at all. from a galvanized chain-link they look neat and attractive.

The plasticized chain-link is becoming more and more popular. This metal mesh is covered with a dense layer of anti-corrosion polymer, which makes it highly resistant to weathering. In addition, the polymer is colored, the mesh looks very attractive and aesthetically pleasing. And although such a chain-link is quite expensive, the demand for it is constantly growing.

In addition to quality, the netting is distinguished by the size of the cells, the thickness of the wire and the height of the roll. Cells can have dimensions from 10 to 65 mm, wire diameter 1-5 mm. The roll height is from 0.8 to 2 m, but the most popular is 1.5 m. The standard length of the mesh in a roll is 10 m, rolls of 20 m are made to order. The smaller the mesh, the more expensive the mesh cost, because this increases the material consumption ...

Types of mesh fences

Fencing from the netting of the chain-link is sectional and tension. The first option provides for the manufacture of rectangular metal sections, inside which the mesh is fixed. For sections, metal corners, profile and round pipes of small diameter are used. Connect them by welding or bolting if not. Such a fence looks more aesthetically pleasing and attractive, the metal frame does not allow the mesh to sag.

The stretch fence is quicker and easier to install; its structure consists only of support pillars and the net itself. The mesh is fastened with steel wire, clamps or hung on hooks welded to the posts. Pipes of different diameters, concrete posts, wooden beams are suitable for pillars.

Installation of fence posts

For both sectional and tension fence, marking, preparation and installation of pillars is carried out using the same technology, but only in the first case, the pillars must be stronger. This is due to the additional load from the metal sections; if the supports are too thin, the fence is bound to tilt.

For work you will need:

roulette;
wooden pegs;
a coil of thin rope;
building level;
hand drill;
crushed stone and sand;
solution;
profile pipes 60x40 mm;
Bulgarian;
primer.

Step 1. Installing corner posts

The allotted area is cleared of vegetation, if necessary, leveled, the location of the extreme pillars is determined. Experienced builders recommend making corner posts from pipes of a larger cross section than intermediate ones, and digging them in deeper. For example, if a 40x40 mm profile pipe is taken for intermediate supports, then for corner supports it is better to take 60x40 mm and 15-20 cm longer.

Proceeding to the installation of pillars:

When the solution hardens a little, you can remove the spacers and start marking under the intermediate posts.

Step 2. Markup

A rope is pulled tightly between the corner supports at a height of 15 cm from the ground - this will be the fence line. The line must be divided into equal segments corresponding to the width of the span. The optimal span width for a chain-link fence is 2-2.5 m; if you increase it, the mesh will sag. They retreat from the extreme pillar to the desired distance and drive a peg into the ground, and so on to the opposite corner. All pegs should be in contact with the taut rope and be equidistant from each other.

Step 3. Installation of intermediate supports

In place of the pegs, holes are drilled for the posts and the bottom is covered with sand. To make it more convenient to control the height of the supports, another rope is pulled along the upper edge of the corner posts. Now pipes are inserted into the pits, leveled in height and vertical, sprinkled with rubble and soil and tamped tightly with crowbar. Concrete is poured on top and the surface is leveled.

If it is planned to install a tension fence, and the soil on the site is dense enough, the intermediate supports can simply be driven into the ground and not concreted. For this, holes are drilled half the required depth, pipes are inserted there and hammered with a sledgehammer. To protect the upper edge of the posts from deformation, take a piece of a larger pipe, weld on a steel plate on one side and put it on top of the post. After driving the supports, the pits are covered with crushed stone and sand, spilled with water for better compaction and thoroughly rammed.

Step 4. Welding hooks

After about a week, when the concrete has hardened enough, you can continue with the installation. You can fasten the net to the posts with wire or clamps, but it is more convenient to attach it to hooks. There are profile pipes with hooks already welded on sale, but if you have a welding machine, it is cheaper to make them yourself. For this, pieces of steel rod, screws, nails, even thick wire are suitable - everything that can be welded to the pipe and bent. On a post 2 m high, it is enough to make 3 hooks: at a distance of 15 cm from the ground, 10 cm from the top of the pipe and in the middle.

Video - Do-it-yourself fence from a chain-link

Step 1. Attaching the mesh

A roll of chain-link is placed near the corner post, unwound a little and put the cells on the hooks. To securely fix the edge of the mesh, you need to take a piece of reinforcement with a cross section of 8 mm and a length of 1.5 m and thread it into the cells of the first row. After that, the fittings are attached to the pipe and welded. Now, when pulling the roll, the net will not bend. Having secured the end of the net, the roll is transferred to the next support, carefully unwinding it.

Having departed from the junction of the chain-link with the pipe 10-15 cm, a steel bar is again threaded into the cells. This time, you don't need to weld it on, it just helps to pull the mesh evenly. When the mesh is put on the hooks, the rod is removed, the roll is unwound for one more span, reinforcement is threaded again and so on until the very end of the fence. To connect two canvases, wire from the extreme vertical row of one of the rolls is used.

Step 2. Fixing the web from sagging

Even a well-stretched canvas sags a little over time, therefore, at the installation stage, you need to take care of additional fixing of the chain-link between the posts. You will need a wire with a cross section of 6 mm and a welding machine. The wire is threaded into the second or third row of cells horizontally along the entire fence. In the places where the mesh adheres to the posts, the wire is welded. Then, in the same way, the lower edge of the net is strengthened, and at the end, the hooks are folded. Now the fence is securely fixed on the supports and will not bend and sag.

Step 3. The final stage

When the fence is installed, you need to complete the finishing touches:

put plastic plugs on top of the pipes;
paint the posts;
twist the upper antennae of the chain-link in pairs by 2 turns and bend down.

At this, the installation of the tension fence is considered complete.

Making sections

Step 2. Prepare the racks

Rectangular plates 20x5 cm and 4-5 mm thick are cut from sheet steel. Take one plate, apply it perpendicular to the post at a height of 20 cm from the ground and weld. The second plate is welded at the top, stepping back from the edge 15-20 cm. The plates are fixed on the remaining supports in the same way.

Step 3. Installation of sections

The first section is placed between the posts, lifted and set in level. Then the sides are welded to the plates and move on to the next span. It is very important to correctly align the sections in height so that the top crossbars of the frame form a single line. After installing all the sections, the welding points are cleaned, the fence frame is primed and painted.

Why is it worth ordering mesh fences from the MASTEROVIT company

Own production of the chain-link mesh, on German automatic machines;
Galvanized mesh of our own production - a guarantee of a wire thickness of 2 mm or 1.8 to choose from;
Constant carriage deliveries from the largest factories, three large production workshops allow us to provide low prices with high quality materials;
"MASTEROVIT" is one of the oldest and most experienced companies on the fence market, as a result, the installation of a fence is a well-oiled mechanism in the hands of professionals;
9 sales offices + mobile office, the ability to order a fence in a convenient place for you;

The cost of a running meter of a chain-link fence is influenced by:

building height;
mesh thickness;
installation method of fittings;
the need to erect gates, gates or other additional structures.

The production of a fence from a chain-link mesh is carried out automatically using modern German equipment. The lines organized by us allow us to produce up to 5 km of high-quality mesh per day at each of the three production complexes.

In the process of delivery to the site, materials are not overloaded. There are no intermediate transfer steps. The number of movements of the fence elements is reduced to a minimum. Our clients receive the highest quality mesh.

Complete set of chain-link fences

Select the required fence height and installation technology. In addition to the mesh, the complete set of the fence includes posts and fittings.

To install a fence made of a chain-link mesh with a height of 1700 mm and below, supports 60 * 30 mm are used. For the construction of structures of greater height, pillars of 60 * 40 mm are used. The profiled pipes are equipped with hooks for rigid fixation of the mesh and plugs.
The armature (10 mm) is pulled either in one row (4th cell from the top) or in two (4th cell from the bottom). This protects the mesh from sagging and also provides additional rigidity to the structure. Installed sections cannot be removed.

The materials made by us are stored in compliance with all the necessary conditions. Mesh rolls are not deformed, tangled and not exposed to corrosive environments.

Installation of a fence from a chain-link mesh

Our specialists install fences from a chain-link mesh efficiently and quickly... The installation process is debugged to the smallest detail.

Profiled pipes are driven into the ground to a depth of 0.8–1.2 m. The optimum value is selected depending on the characteristics of the landscape. The elements of the fence are treated with a high-quality anti-corrosion coating. To protect against moisture, plastic plugs are installed on the poles.
The reinforcement is pulled along the entire perimeter of the structure. The rods are welded to each other and to the posts. The building acquires the necessary rigidity.

The patented invention of Karl Rabitz has served as a reliable version of the material for fences for more than a century. In the fencing of the chicken coop and the transformer box, the sports ground and the land plot - such a grid can be found everywhere. There is no alternative to it in the delimitation of neighboring areas - according to the regulations, it is forbidden to install boundary fences made of opaque materials. The task of how to make a fence from a chain-link with your own hands will not seem difficult to any man with a minimum of tools.

Which mesh netting to choose for the fence

The chain-link mesh is a continuous web of wire spirals intertwined. This design makes it easy to splicate the fragments together. In this case, the cell size can be in the range of 20-100 mm (the most common sizes are 30-50 mm), the standard roll height is 1, 1.5 and 2 m.

In the manufacture of the mesh, wires of different diameters from 1.2 to 5 mm are used; most of the chain-link on sale is made of wire 1.5-2 mm in diameter. The wire can be coated or uncoated:

Uncoated ("black"). It is better not to use a mesh from it for capital fences, its service life is short, and it is almost impossible to paint such a product with high quality, despite all the assurances of the "advisers".
Zinc coated is the most common option. The galvanized chain-link will fade after a while, but it will not rust, having served for more than a dozen years.
Stainless steel. A chic and timeless option, but very expensive.
In a polymer shell. Such a mesh appeared on sale not so long ago and is in great demand. Firstly, it has a long service life (subject to choosing a reliable manufacturer with high-quality plastic coating), and secondly, you can realize your fantasies through a wide palette of colors.

Galvanized Wire Mesh

Mesh with colored polymer coating

With your own hands, you can not only build a fence from a chain-link, but also weave the net itself. There are many drawings of a manual machine for weaving it. The manufacture of the machine will require some milling, welding and simple turning work. One person is able to make up to 10 m of mesh per day, therefore, in the presence of wire, it makes sense to think about independent production.

Installation of supports for the construction of fencing

There are several options for making a fence from a chain-link mesh. In any case, the most responsible and laborious process is the marking of the territory and the installation of support pillars.

How to prepare the site and choose supports

Before installing the fence from the grid, you should accurately, according to the existing documents for the site, measure the boundaries of the future fence, think over the location of the gates and gates. The place for the construction of the fence should be cleaned of debris and vegetation, and then the poles (wooden or metal stakes) should be hammered into the places of the future corner posts and supports for the gates and wickets.

To determine the location of the intermediate posts, you need to pull a strong cord between the stakes, then measure the distance between them. Optimally, the racks are placed every 2-2.5 m from each other, so the resulting distance must be divided by 2.5 and rounded up.

The distance between the posts should be between 2 and 2.5 m

In this way, the number of corner posts is found; the exact distance between them can be found by dividing the above distance by the number of posts. Places of future supports must also be marked with pegs.

Depending on the type of underlying soil, material, thickness of the pillars and the type of future fence, there are several methods of mounting the supports. Wooden posts are short-lived, concrete or asbestos-cement pipes cause difficulties in attaching the mesh.

The best solution for making a fence from a chain-link with your own hands will be metal racks from a round or shaped square pipe from 60 mm in diameter. Next, we will consider this particular option.

Methods for installing support pillars

You can install metal racks:

simply by driving them into the ground;
clog up - place in a previously prepared hole and fill it with stones or large rubble, constantly ramming;
partially (when the end of the rack is driven into the ground) or completely concreted in previously prepared pits.

There are many methods for calculating the length and depth of the underground part of the pillars - with the definition of the type of soil, the level of groundwater passage and the depth of soil freezing. But for an easy fence from the chain-link mesh, possible movements of the supports of several centimeters in height are insignificant, therefore, in practice, a simple rule is used - at least 40% of the column must be in the ground. That is, a fence post with a height of 1.5 m should be about 2.1 m long for any installation method, but complete concreting is optimal.

In practice, the process looks like this:

Install corner (or end, in the presence of wickets and gates) posts, strictly controlling their verticality using a level.
Prepare pits for intermediate posts according to the preliminary marking. The presence of a drill in normal (without roots and large stones) soil greatly facilitates the work!
After the concrete has hardened, pull the cord over the top of the posts to control the height of the intermediate supports to be installed, and another one from the bottom to control the placement of all the posts on the same line.
To facilitate the alignment of the posts in height, fill the bottom of the pits with sand, gravel or fine gravel and simply change the height of this pillow by adding or removing material.
Pour the height-adjusted racks with concrete with level control; if necessary, install stops and supports.

Further installation should be carried out only after the concrete has hardened (at least one week), the racks must be primed and painted.

Instructions for building different types of chain-link fences

Before you start building a fence from a chain-link mesh with your own hands, you should determine the purpose of the fence, the basic requirements for aesthetics and strength. Indeed, in one case, you need a powerful fence made of a non-standard mesh with a wire of 4-5 mm for grazing livestock, in the other - a beautiful and elegant fence in front of the house or a lightweight structure without frills at the borders of neighboring areas. There is a variant for each task.

The simplest fence for the site

The easiest way to mount a mesh fence is to simply attach it to the installed supports. For this work you will need an assistant, or preferably two.

Roll the chain-link before fastening on the ground to a distance of slightly more than one span between the uprights.
Check the height of the spiral wire, if necessary screw in or unscrew the offset ones. The fact is that it is not visible in the roll whether they are all at the same level, and after stretching the mesh, it will be impossible to align the links.
Bend the edges of the spirals immediately with pliers to avoid injury and the possibility of the mesh unraveling during installation.
Unwind the net further as it is fastened.

There are several ways to attach the chain-link to the racks, but it is highly desirable to fasten not the mesh itself (in order to avoid its deformation), but a metal rod with a diameter of 6-10 mm inserted vertically into its link. For one more similar pin, inserted a little further, the assistant must pull the canvas.

At the same time, no blocks, levers or complex structures are required for tensioning, moreover, excessive efforts of one person can lead to deformation and stretching of the 2 mm wire mesh!

The rod can be attached to the support as follows:

just tie it to the post with soft wire. The fastest way, but not too pretty;
use not wire, but special clamps;

Fastening with clamps

put the pin on the hooks prepared in advance and bend them. Hooks made of wire pieces with a diameter of 4-6 mm and a length of 50-80 mm should be welded to the post at a distance of 400-500 mm from each other until the mesh is stretched;

Fastening with hooks

weld a rod (not a canvas!) to a post in several places, having received a non-separable connection;
sew the mesh spiral with a rod, inserting it into the previously welded pipe sections with a diameter of 1 / 4ʺ and a length of 15-20 mm. They should be placed on the support at the same distance as the hooks; the short length of the segments will allow them to fit into the cells of the grid. The most aesthetic way of collapsible connection.

The end and corner posts will experience constant loads from the effect of the tensioned mesh, therefore, braces (stops) are imperative.

Corner post mounting method

Fence option with guy wires

To provide greater rigidity of the fence, better resistance to wind loads and prevent sagging of the curtain, one (from above) or several rows of rope or wire 4-6 mm thick can be pulled.

Such strings can be attached to the supports and pulled in any convenient way, but the most practical option is with the help of special ties or tensioners.

Tie for string tension

When installing a fence from a chain-link mesh with your own hands using stretch marks, the distance between the posts can be increased to 3m. But it should be borne in mind that when stretching, the load on the extreme and corner supports increases many times over, therefore, their rigidity should be increased in comparison with the supports for a simple tension fence.

The ideal option for fixing the fabric is through stitching along the length of the mesh. But this process is long and laborious, and with an increase in the diameter and stiffness of the cable or wire, the complexity increases.

Therefore, in practice, the strings are first pulled, then the chain-link is installed similarly to the simple method described above, and then, after 200-300 mm, the mesh is tied to the braces with galvanized knitting wire with a section of 1-1.5 mm.

Reinforced version with lags

To strengthen the supporting frame of the fence, logs should be welded to the installed racks, preferably from a profile pipe. The main load in the fence will be compression, therefore the section of the log should ensure that the frame does not "fold" when the mesh is stretched and the subsequent operation of the fence. With this method of installation, there is no need for braces for corner and end posts.

Mesh chain-link on a frame with lags

Since most of the effort will be applied at the top of the fence, the lower and intermediate logs (if any) can be replaced with reinforcement, rolled wire, or even tension the strings, as in the previous method. Tighten the mesh fabric to the frame with wire.

A fence with logs will be a good start for the future, if it becomes necessary to decorate the fence by hanging additional material on it. Also, you can easily replace the netting with a profiled sheet or slate, making the fence much more solid.

Practical sectional solution

Fence from sections

A fence made of sections, which are frames from a corner with a mesh fixed inside, is the most difficult to manufacture, but has a lot of advantages and benefits:

such a design is the most beautiful and flawless from an artistic perspective;
each section is a separate and rigid structural element, so there will be no issues with mesh sagging and loss of protective properties;
if necessary, the sections can be dismantled and the pillars can be used to build new fences;
the possibility of installation with a large slope of the enclosed area. It is believed that the chain-link mesh can be pulled when the ground level rises no more than 6 ° (which corresponds to a slope of 1:10). If these values are greater, a sectional fence with uniform steps is the correct solution.

Sectional fence with ledges

For the manufacture of the section, a solid-rolled steel corner with a shelf of 40-50 mm is used.

Using a "grinder" (better - an assembly saw), cut off the parts of the required size strictly perpendicularly.
Spread out the frame on a flat surface (or level all corners with shims), carefully measure the diagonals. Boil the frame to avoid twisting it should be in opposite corners.
In the finished frame, clean the seams, prime and paint it (it is much easier to renovate the places burned from welding than to paint the corner under the mesh!).
It is imperative to install the netting through the rods, which can be welded or installed on hooks and bent (as well as to the posts). At the same time, fix the first pin on the side of the frame, after stretching the mesh - on the opposite side, and then above and below.
Do not use excessive force when tightening, otherwise the section may "fold" inward. Fastening from all sides, even with minimal tension, will not allow the canvas to "flutter" and sag.
The distance between the supports should be calculated so that there is a gap of 40-80 mm between the support and the frame (or make sections according to the already known distance between the posts).
To fasten the sections to the posts, weld metal dies in advance (approximately 6 * 60 * 250 mm).
The frames can be fastened to the dies both by electric welding and by bolts, having received a collapsible design.

How to decorate a mesh netting - original solutions

Many do not want to make a fence from a chain-link mesh, considering it impersonal, too simple and refuse this option in favor of other materials. Completely in vain! There are many ways to make such a fence original and unique, here are some of them.

Making patterns from wire. A laborious way, but beautiful and lasting.

The use of polymeric multi-colored ribbons and cords. Bright, smart, but not too durable.

Elegant appliques from ribbons and cords

Live plants. Always relevant, but beautiful only during the period of active vegetation and flowering. And from autumn to spring, if you do not remove the dried stems in a timely manner, it looks very untidy. You can use artificial greenery in the same way.

Light shading mesh. They come in a variety of colors and degrees of light transmission. They significantly increase the windage and weight of the fence, therefore they will not be suitable for a simple stretch fence.

Light shading mesh application

Photo fencing made of PVC or decorative photo grid. New, expensive, beautiful and luxurious material. It is also worth using with a powerful frame or sectional fence solution, hanging over the chain-link.

On this question, how to make a fence from a grid with your own hands, can be considered closed. Success in construction, and may the fence made with the help of the advice received please you for many years!

A fence is an indispensable element of any private property. If the country houses experts recommend fencing with more reliable protective structures, then summer cottages are their practical and inexpensive options. The most suitable material for a summer cottage fence is a chain-link mesh. With its help, you can not only make a durable fence, but also increase the yield of the beds, since the design does not interfere with natural ventilation on the land, and also does not block the sun's access to it. To build a fence from a chain-link mesh with your own hands, you do not need to be a professional. This article will reveal all the secrets of the masters of installing a practical fence without welding, and also tell you what tools and materials you need to have to do this kind of work.

Features of the chain-link mesh, its advantages

The netting netting is a versatile material that is indispensable in summer cottages. It has many benefits that make it even more popular with buyers. These include:

affordable cost. The netting netting is a budget option for the material for the construction of a fence, because not every homeowner is able to allocate a decent amount for the installation of a more expensive structure in the country;

long service life. High-quality galvanized mesh is capable of retaining its original appearance for several decades (up to 40-50 years). It does not rust and does not deform if used properly.
the need to use a minimum number of tools and fasteners during the installation of the fence;

Important! You can install a fence from a chain-link mesh either by welding or without it. Installation without welding is ideal for people who do not know how to work with such equipment.

ease of care of the material;
the mesh does not impede natural air circulation, does not shade the area.

Important! A chain-link mesh fence serves as an ideal fence not only for beds, flower beds or a vegetable garden, it is also indispensable in the process of arranging children's playgrounds, enclosures for pets, etc.

Material classification

Depending on the material of manufacture, the netting is of three types:

Non-galvanized.
Galvanized.
Plasticized.

Non-galvanized mesh is a fairly cheap material. Of course, it is more affordable, but one can doubt its durability, since under the influence of moisture, the surface is very quickly covered with rust.

Galvanized wire mesh is the most popular among customers. It is slightly more expensive than its non-galvanized counterpart, does not rust, which is really very valuable.

Plasticized material is a modern option, but more expensive. In the process of its manufacture, polymers are used, which properly protect the metal mesh from moisture. The plasticized mesh has a variety of colors. Each homeowner is able to choose the material that will ideally match the interior of the house, as well as complement it.

Instructions for craftsmen: how to make a simple fence from a chain-link mesh without welding with your own hands

Making a durable and reliable fence from a chain-link mesh is a fairly simple and interesting task. Its implementation does not require a large amount of professional knowledge and skills. For work, you only need tools and materials, as well as the desire of the master.

There are two ways to make a galvanized fence from a chain-link mesh:

Using a welding machine.
No welding.

Since not every homeowner has a welding machine at his disposal (or does not know how to use it), we will consider the option of installing a fence without using it.

Important! Installing a fence without using welding will allow you to build a structure that will be less practical than its welded counterpart.

Tools and materials

So that the construction of the fence does not cause difficulties, you must first stock up on all the necessary tools and materials. In the process of work, you will need:

mesh netting (non-galvanized, galvanized or plasticized);
support posts (wood, metal or reinforced concrete);
special fastening hooks;
sand, screenings, crushed stone and cement;
shovel;
building level;
mounting tape;
hammer or drill;
bolts, nails or screws.

Step-by-step instructions for installing a galvanized mesh fence

The simplest version of a mesh fence for a summer residence is a stretch one. Its installation will not take as long as it might seem at first glance. For the correct execution of the work, it is necessary to know and follow a clear sequence of the entire technological process.

Advice! To install a tension fence from a chain-link mesh, it is best to involve an assistant who will help you get the job done faster.

A chain-link fence is the most optimal budget option for a summer cottage. Install such a fence with your own hands, evaluate its merits not only from personal experience, but also see it by the increased amount of harvest from the beds.

Installation of a chain-link fence is considered the most popular option for arranging a metal fence around a private house, country cottage and many other objects. Its cost is low, and the installation of such a fence can be done by hand.

1 Varieties of mesh-netting for fences

The mesh we are interested in is currently presented on the construction market in three variations:

The indicated types of mesh can have cells of different shapes (diamond-shaped and rectangular ones are popular), which are described by different geometric parameters (the standard cell size varies within 2.5-6 centimeters). For fencing land and summer cottages, it is recommended to install a grid with cells of 4-5 centimeters.

2 Installation of a mesh-netting fence - what materials will be required?

Do-it-yourself installation of fences of this type does not cause difficulties even for those people who rarely do something on their own. The main thing is to calculate everything correctly and purchase the required amount of mesh and additional materials. The latter include:

concrete (usually an inexpensive M200 grade material is used);
special mounts;
support posts made of metal, wood or concrete.

In most cases, the installation of chain-link fences is carried out using metal supports. Such pillars are rightfully considered the most reliable and truly durable. Experts advise purchasing pillars of a square or round profile with a cross section of 6-12 centimeters.

When doing work with their own hands, resourceful citizens use old ones as supports, which significantly reduces the cost of installing a fence. But it is better, of course, to buy ready-made poles made specifically for arranging fences. To such supports (usually they are sold in a painted form), special hooks are initially welded.

It makes sense to use wood poles only in cases where it is planned to install a temporary fence or if there is a free (very cheap) wooden material. Please note that bark must be removed from the support beams and poles, and the part of the tree that will be buried in the ground must be thoroughly coated with mastic with high waterproofing properties.

In many respects, concrete pillars are in no way inferior to metal ones (they do not rust, they are very durable, therefore they can literally stand for centuries), but their cost is quite high. In addition, it is not easy to attach the mesh to such supports - it is required to braid the concrete structure with a steel cable, use clamps. This makes installation much more difficult.

There are two ways to equip a chain-link fence with your own hands:

fix the wire in sections (frames) made of a metal corner;
stretch the mesh between the supports.

Installation of a sectional fence, as you yourself understand, requires additional costs. But from the point of view of aesthetics, it looks more preferable. But the second option for arranging the fence with your own hands can be implemented much faster without investing excessive finances in the fence. We will consider it in more detail.

3 How is the installation of tension fences made of a chain-link mesh?

At the first stage of the installation work, you need to mark the territory. For these purposes, small pegs should be placed in the corners of the site, take a cord or construction thread and pull them between the stakes. The resulting length of the thread will tell us how many meters of the chain-link mesh will need to be purchased (we advise you to add a couple more meters of wire just in case).

After that, we will decide on the places where we will drive in the supports. It is recommended to install the poles at a distance of 2.5 meters from each other (a greater distance cannot be taken, since the mesh we use is a sagging material). To calculate the number of required supports, measure the length of each side of the future fence and divide the resulting number by 2.5. If your fence will have a total length of 50 meters, you will need exactly 20 support posts, if 60 meters - 30, and so on.

The installation of the pillars is carried out in prepared recesses in the ground (they can be made with an ordinary shovel and a drill). The optimum depth of the pits is 120–150 centimeters. Please note that you first need to install supports at the corners of the site, and only then mount other pillars. On the bottom of the grooves for the pipes, rubble is poured (in an even layer), tamped, and then a layer of ordinary sand is added and tamping is also performed.

We begin to put pillars in properly prepared pits. This must be done strictly vertically (it is best to use a plumb line). After that, recesses with pipes are poured with a solution made of cement (two parts), sand (one part), crushed stone (one part) and water. First, sand and cement are mixed, then crushed stone and water are added. The mixture must be thoroughly mixed in order to obtain a solution that is not very liquid, but also not "tough".

After the installation of all the pillars is completed, the first stage of work on arranging the fence with your own hands can be considered completed. The concrete will take 6-8 days to harden.

In principle, it is possible to fill the support pipes not with concrete, but use a mixture of soil with rubble stone. Then you don't have to wait a week for the concrete to harden. But in this case, the pillars may not hold so reliably, so it is better to use a solution of concrete, crushed stone and sand.

4 Features of the process of stretching the mesh and its attachment to the supports

After the concrete solution has dried, we proceed to the second stage of arranging a reliable fence on our site. First, using manual arc welding, we weld hooks onto the supports. Hooks can be made from any metal material you have (steel bars, thick wire, regular nails, and so on).

When the hooks are welded on, we straighten the roll of the netting and start pulling it. The operation should be started from the corner support. We hang the mesh on the welded fasteners. In this case, it is advisable to thread a reinforcing bar or thick (diameter - about 4 millimeters) into the very first row. To prevent the fence from bending down and sagging, a wire or a bar is welded to the post.

Then we unwind the required length of the mesh, thread the bar (wire) vertically into it at some distance from the connection zone between the support and the mesh and begin to pull our fence. You need to carry out this operation together.

After pulling, it will be necessary to install a thick wire (or a bar) horizontally at a distance slightly above the bottom edge of the fence and below the top. Now you can weld the bar to the support. By analogy, we carry out tension and fastening of all subsequent sections of the mesh. Congratulations, you've built your own fence!
