Chain Link Fence Installation By Fence OKC

Our chain link fences come in two finishes: galvanized steel and vinyl-coated.

Our vinyl-coated chain link comes in three colors: black, brown, and green (black vinyl being the most common color), allowing for a more attractive appearance while maintaining the same functionality as the standard galvanized steel chain link.

Chain-link fencing offers an economic advantage over most Oklahoma residential fence options. Chain link is considerably cheaper than fence options, such as cedar privacy or ornamental iron fencing.

Its high durability, height customizability, and low-cost rate make this fence one of the most popular fencing choices for residential properties in central Oklahoma.

Chain-Link Fence Overview

A chain-link fence, often known as a cyclone, hurricane, chain-wire, wire-netting, wire-mesh, or diamond-mesh fence, is a distinguished mesh fencing crafted from galvanized or vinyl-coated steel wires.

These steel wires are intricately shaped into a zig-zag configuration, where each bend seamlessly interlocks with its neighboring wire, producing the characteristic diamond pattern synonymous with this fencing style.

It is ideal for those seeking durability combined with a transparent boundary aesthetic.

Optimal Chain Link Fence Heights in Central Oklahoma

Within Central Oklahoma’s fencing landscape, the predominant fence heights of choice are 4 ft, 5 ft, and 6 ft.

The mesh gauges frequently utilized are 11 and 11.5, with two inches of standard diamond width.

Chain-link fences are particularly favored in the region due to their cost-effectiveness. Additionally, their open weave design ensures unobstructed sunlight penetration from both sides.

Enhancing privacy can be achieved by integrating privacy slats into the mesh.

A natural alternative for added discretion and aesthetics involves allowing ivy to flourish and intertwine through the fence structure.

Chain-Link Fence Installation

Installing a chain-link fence demands a meticulous approach to ensure durability and stability.

This fence type epitomizes the blend of strength and function, requiring precision during its erection process.

Its design reflects superior craftsmanship and stands as a preferred choice for a durable and cost-effective boundary solution, consistently meeting the highest standards of longevity and resilience.

  1. Setting the Foundation: The process begins by positioning posts into the ground, subsequently affixing the chain-link mesh onto them. Steel tubing posts are predominantly utilized, but variations like timber and concrete are also options. These can be driven directly into the soil or securely set within concrete.
  2. Terminal Posts: Often referred to as end, corner, or gate posts within the industry, terminal posts provide foundational support. To mitigate leaning due to the tension of an extended mesh, these posts require concrete footings or sturdy anchoring.
  3. Line Posts: Positioned between terminal posts, line posts are strategically placed at intervals not exceeding 10 feet. After securely attaching the mesh to one end, the installer stretches it towards the other, removing any extra length by carefully “unscrewing” a wire. The chain-link mesh is meticulously tied to the line posts using aluminum wire.
  4. Strengthening Measures:
    • Bottom Tension Wire: To counteract the occasional inward and outward movement at the fence’s base, an installer may stretch a bottom tension wire, colloquially termed “coil wire,” between the terminal posts.
    • Top Horizontal Rails: A common addition to many chain-link fences, these rails, while not mandatory, augment fence sturdiness.
    • Bottom Rails: These can be an alternative to bottom tension wires. For fences exceeding 10 feet, intermediate horizontal rails are introduced to enhance the fence’s robustness.
  5. Securing the Base: Post stretching, affixing a bottom wire to the line posts is crucial, with the chain-link mesh subsequently “hog ringed” to the tension wire at 2′ intervals. This foundational wire is typically set before the chain-link mesh’s installation.

Adhering to these steps ensures a chain-link fence that stands the test of time and Oklahoma’s diverse weather conditions.

Chain Link Fence Varieties in Oklahoma
