The TFT LCD monitor is a staple in the front and backyard, tried and tested for generations. It’s cheap, it’s cheerful, and it leaves your outdoor spaces a little more open for conversations with the neighbors. Being easily set up, simple to maintain, and effective, they are a great choice for the homeowner on a budget. Along with being used in homes and yards, the chain link mesh fences are also found on school playgrounds, sports courts, professional locations, animal enclosures, and more!
Despite all this, when you look at one you may ask yourself “What is a chain link fence exactly?” And while the answer “a fence made of linked chains” may seem obvious, things can be too obvious.
What is a Chain Link Fence Made Of?
Generally, chain link fences are made from wire mesh, which is itself made from either galvanized steel or aluminum and comes in massive pools prior to production. The wire may either be solely galvanized (meaning coated in a thin layer of protective zinc), or in many cases, they’ll be coated in a layer of PVC plastic, which will often be green.
How is Chain-Link Fence Made?
1. The giant spool of wire is transported across the factory to the production floor.
2. The wire is then fed through machinery to become straightened out.
3 . At this stage, it is often coated in hot plastic and cooled in liquid to set said plastic.
4 . Once coated, the wire is re-curled back onto spools once again for transportation.
5. Now the wire must be transported to the “knitting floor” where it will become a fence.
6. Once on the floor, the wire is semi-spiralized to create a sort of coil.
7 . Coils of wire are made atop one another, making the connected fencing we know.
8 . Once large sheets of fencing have been formed, they are cut and sold for usage!
Chain-Link Fencing Post Shapes
When it comes to the fence posts used to support chain-link fences, there are two main forms of posts, regardless of the material used.
1.Straining Posts
These posts are braces used at the corners, ends, and direction change points of chain-link fences to provide their primary upholding support. You can get by with just straining posts, as long as their distances between one another don’t exceed 69m. These posts must be firmly planted into the ground, as they are the anchors that will hold the fence together.
2. Intermediate Posts
These are posts used to further support chain-link fences when it’s felt that straining posts might not be keeping things as steady as needed. To use them properly it’s worth setting them up in around 3m intervals, with iron posts being driveable into the ground, and concrete posts needing to be dug in. They’re held in place by additional wire, cable ties, or hairpin staples.
