How to Install a Chain Link Fence | The Home Depot with @thisoldhouse

The video states to use a portable bandsaw to cut the tops of the line posts. That’s not a real common tool in the arsenal of many DIY homeowners. I think an angle grinder with a metal cut-off wheel or a sawzall with a bimetal blade could work as well. Kudos for keeping the video straight forward and simple.

@3:30 pull the fence until its TAUGHT! You teach that fence a lesson.

You don't necessarily need a bottom rail, can just use wire along the bottom, pulled tight and hog ringed to the chainlink fabric. I did a combo of digging& pounding the posts in place, and used some Sika foam at the gates, to avoid the hassle of concrete. Also I bought some nice massdam stretcher clamps from amazing-on (hint) to pull the fabric tight to the terminal posts, no need for a jack and rake or whatever they used.

I would have hinged the gate on the post that had the fabric on it. When you hang a gate on a single post, it tends to sag.

oh man. I only did my post a 1 foot deep. Its just a 4 foot gate door to my trash area. Plan to do a concrete slab so post will be inside of that.

I like how they DONT even show you or tell you what apparatus they used in the video to pull the fence "TAUT".

Nice video but not a very detailed video. After doing a chain link fence and re-watching this video let’s me see how many steps are left out of not really explained

[kelliem]

How much concrete per terminal post ? Line post?

[LionsLamb]

"Run the top rails through the holes" 😉 Hey tatted daddie, I see what you did there!

[LightGesture]
