CHAIN LINK FENCING
A well proven popular, versatile and easy to erect fencing suitable for a wide variety of applications.
From a simple boundary marker to a permanent secure fence, there will be a specification of Chain Link
suited to the purpose. Most Chain Link is available compact wound and palletised. Standard PVC colours are green or black.
Easy to erect on most types of post. No exact post centres required, ideal for re-clads or existing posts.
Available in either barbed or knuckled edges or combination of both.
In 25 metre rolls and 12.5 metre rolls (a) depending on specification. Line Wires are not supplied with
the rolls and should be ordered separately.

ERECTION OF CHAIN LINK
FENCING
1. First clear away all obstructions and ensure a reasonable
level before pegging out the line of the fence with string.
2. Mark the position of the end straining posts and dig the
holes for their foundations. In normal soil allow for the following foundations:
(a) Posts up to 1.40m (approx 4ft 7in) the holes should be
450mm (1ft 6in) square and 600mm (2ft) deep
(b) Posts above 1.40m (approx 4ft 7in) the holes should be
450mm (1ft 6in) square and 750mm (2ft 6in) deep
(c) Holes for straining post stays should be 450mm x 300mm
(1ft 6in x 1ft) and 450mm (1ft 6in) deep
3. Plant the end straining post making sure that the earth is
well rammed around the post or preferably embedded in
large rubble or old bricks, but firm ramming is essential. For
the best results the posts should be embedded in concrete.
6. Erection depends on the type of post being used Wooden - see that the line wire are evenly spaced between
top and bottom edge of the fencing and strained by using
an eyebolt. See illustration showing how eyebolts, hook bolts
and stretcher bars fit to a wooden terminal post. As illustrated
under item 10
Angle-iron - strain the line wires using winding brackets
bolted to straining post. See illustration below
Concrete - strain the line wires by using an eyebolt. This
bolt also fastens an angle cleat to which the stretcher bar is
secured. The line wires are strained by screwing up the nut
on the eyebolt.
4. Fix a line taut between the straining posts and set the
intermediate standards along this line at 3.0m (10ft) intervals. If the line of the fence curves, it is advantageous to fix
backstays to every standard. Usually it is sufficient to ram the
backstay straight into the ground, but when using concrete,
Pylon or plastic-coated steel posts, the posts should be fixed
in concrete.
5. When the posts are firmly set unroll the coil of wire and
strain between the posts. The number of line wires depends
on the height of the fence and is as follows:
Under 1.2m (4ft) - 2 lines
1.2m (4ft) to 2.25m (7ft 5in) - 3 lines
7. Stand the roll on end with the exposed edge against the
post
8. Pass a stretcher bar through the last row of meshes and
secure to the post as indicated previously.
9. Unroll the chain link fencing along the line of the fence
pulling the mesh as tight as possible as one moves along.
Hold the fence to the line wire using temporary tying wires or
string at intervals. Fasten the mesh to each straining post in
turn. Tension should be maintained during this operation.
ERECTION OF CHAIN LINK
FENCING
Line wires can be interwoven into chain link at the top to
provide extra support.
It is important to select the right type of post for the job as the
effectiveness of any fence depends on the correct support. A
wide choice of posts is available, including angle iron, wood,
concrete, tube and pylon.
FITTINGS FOR STRAINING
The illustrations show the main components used in straining
chain link fencing.
(a) Eyebolt - for use with wood or concrete posts. (b) Ring Nut
- for use with eyebolts for intermediate two-way
strainers. (c) Hook Bolt - for use with concrete intermediate
standards
in place of hairpin staples. (d) Winding Brackets - for straining line wires. (e) Cleat - for fixing stretcher bars. (f) Stretcher
bars.
10.At each change of direction of the fence, sever the roll
by untwisting a spiral slightly short of the post, inserting a
stretcher bar, pulling tight and bolting to the post.
Height of fencing:
900mm, 1.20m, 1.40m, 1.80m
Depth of posts in ground:
600mm, 600mm, 600mm, 750mm
Overall length of posts:
1.50m, 1.80m, 2.00m, 2.55m
11.To complete the fence, it is then only necessary to attach
it to the line wires by tying wire. A spacing of 150mm (6in)
is recommended for top wires and 450mm (1ft 6in) for middle and bottom wires.
STRAINING POSTS
Straining posts are required at each end of the fence, at each
change of direction or when there is a large variation in
ground level.
Straining posts should be positioned as follows: (a) As terminal posts at the end of fencing runs (b) As corner posts
which are approximately at right angles. (c) As external corner posts for corners of 90 on the inside of the fencing and
as internal corner posts of 270 on the inside of the fencing
(d) As intermediate straining posts, not exceeding 75m (81
yds) apart, and at all deviations in the line of fencing i.e at
obtuse angles.
JOINING A ROLL OF FENCING
Remove a spiral from end of the roll to be joined on. This is
easily achieved by unknuckling the end of the first spiral and
winding the spiral upwards with an anti-clockwise screwing
motion until fully removed. Bring together the end of one roll
with the beginning of the next roll and unite them by twisting
the loose spiral clockwise through each link in screw form.
When the spare spiral has been screwed into position, the
knuckles should be closed at the top and bottom of the fence
to complete the join.
SPLITTING A ROLL OF FENCING
First, unknuckle the top and bottom ends of the spiral where
split is required. Remove this spiral from the roll completely
by winding in an anti-clockwise direction.
NOTE - It is important that the end of the roll is joined to
the beginning of the next.
