If the top of the chain-link fabric does not create a right angle to the terminal post, the fabric must be cut on a bias so that the tension bar can slide into the fabric at the proper angle. Pull the chain-link fabric until the top or bottom, whichever is shortest, reaches the terminal post. The other corner of the fabric will extend past the terminal post. Insert the tension bar at an angle through the fabric parallel to the terminal post (Fig. 18). [links]
STEP 2
Insert one length of top rail through the line post top closest to a terminal post. Slip rail end onto the end of the top rail and attach it to a terminal post by using a rail end band. Secure by using a 5/16" x 1-1/4" carriage bolt with the head to the outside of the fence (Fig. 9). more
Hanging the Gate
A similar installation procedure is used on both single swing and double swing gates (Figs. 20 & 21).
To Remove Excess Fabric:
Remove the excess fabric with pliers by opening the top and bottom loops (knuckles) of a single strand of wire at the desired point of separation. Unwind the strand up through the links until the fabric comes apart (Figs. 15 & 16). here
STEP 3
Position gate fork latch at a convenient height. Tighten all bolts securely.

We recommend working only with qualified and experienced contractors. Check references and reports with the Better Business Bureau. Also, be sure they are insured properly for liability and worker's compensation. Experienced contractors can usually provide a fair, reasonable, and accurate estimate upon review of the fence project location. Be aware that cheap fences and cheap fence installations can cost you more in the long run with repairs and replacement costs. A fence should be something to be installed with longevity in mind. They are not always easy to install and they are even more difficult to tear down and reinstall, if the wrong materials and techniques are used to install it.
Divide the 'Height Count' by the 'Cut Count'. Round up to nearest whole number. This number (Diamond Count) represents the number of diamonds to count before making a weave cut. Figure B illustrates an upward grade. The grade could be exactly opposite, a downward grade. The grade type will determine which end needs to be cut. In Figure B, you must start counting down from the top. Count out the 'Diamond Count' and cut the last weave in the roll. Remove the bottom portion of that weave from the fabric, cutting the other end of the weave, if necessary. At the cut, count down your 'Diamond Count' and cut the next weave. Remove the bottom portion again. Repeat until you reach the bottom of the fence.
Semi-Annual Traffic: Frequently our customers have wanted larger gates for the septic tank truck or to be prepared in case they need to get a backhoe in for repair. This is excellent forethought, however a large gate can be unnecessary and add extra cost to your project. In such instances where a gate only needs accessed a couple times a year, consider installing 2-3 removable sections of fence. This can be done at a modest cost and it is not any more laborious than installing the fence to begin with. There is more than one way to do this, the method is dependent on the style of fence being installed. For aluminum and vinyl fence, it is frequently done by cementing sleeves in the ground flush with grade in lieu of the posts. These sleeves, which can be made from galvanized steel, aluminum, or treated lumber, are approx. 18" long. They are slightly larger than the fence posts so that the fence posts can slide into them. Shim post(s) if necessary. Once fence post sleeves are cemented in the ground, install the fence as usual only for one or two posts, slide these into the sleeves versus cementing in ground. To remove section of fence, remove the horizontal rails, remove section fence, and remove post. here
Reply: As you might guess, we are in favor of replacing older chain link fences which have lost their 'luster', however I have seen many chain link fences which have been painted. I would guess that it is best to paint them with a sprayer or rollers, though we have no experience with painting fences, only replacing them. As far as the type of paint, we recommend checking with a paint dealer/ specialist for options. Paint and applying paint is not our specialty. There are a few things about galvanized finishes for chain link fences that I will point out though. Many of our customers have inquired about painting them since vinyl posts, framework, and fittings can double project costs. Colored vinyl fabric on galvanized framework is not much more expensive than an all galvanized job, however once one wants the framework coated as well, it often doubles the cost. New galvanized materials should not be painted immediately. Depending on the specific type of material used, much of it has a slight shine or gloss to it. Technically, the shine needs removed before painting in order for paint to adhere properly. This can be done in a few different ways. You may apply an acidic solution to it and a light sanding to prep the material to accept paint or let it naturally weather a few years. We apply a chemical solution to an occasional custom galvanized tubular frame which is then sent to a powder coat facility for custom gates. [links]
We have 1 5/8" sleeves and we can make the extensions for you. They can be shipped UPS, if you let us know the height you have and what you need. You must also measure the outside and inside diameters of all posts by removing the caps and measuring on the ends. more
