This immaculate blend of strength and flexibility makes chain link fences exceptionally durable.

FAQs for the Benefits of Chain Link Fences

In case you notice stray animals getting access to your property from under the fence, your best bet is to install a tension wire that stretches across, from under the fence line. Using twisted ends at the bottom can also deter the animals from coming under.
How far apart do chain link fence posts need to be?

Is it necessary for chain link fence posts to be cemented?
While chain link fence posts can be installed without the use of concrete, it is not advisable to do so. To ensure that the fence is well stretched and stays in place for years at the end, the fence posts must be set in concrete footings, especially at ends and corners.
