If you have to install chain link fabric on a gate, you may as well do it as easily as possible! Today we'll show you exactly how we install fabric on a chain link fence gate, including stretching it with our favorite Bear Hold fence stretchers, trimming the fabric down to size, and re-knuckling the trim with the knuckle twist tool.

Cut thru 9ga all day long with 1 hand with a good pair of crescents. Like videos
I like this technique
Knuckle Twist Tool. Damn, I wish I had one this past weekend. 400 knuckles later using a hollow screwdriver tube and then pair of channel locks to finish bending them over. Worked up a lot of sweat!!
Sounds like!
You are the best!!
Yep, Funyuns are delicious! Thanks for all the great fencing videos!
You bet!
Most excellent. Only one suggestion, hit the tension bar that you cut with some cold galvanized paint.
You know it's a winner with Funyans
They are super FUN ....haha
I like that tool. the bear tool is cool. Saves from having to do it by hand to stretch and connect. I do use puljacks... But more or less I just stretch it by hand
The bear tool is cool. 👍🏻
In my part of Australia, attaching chainwire fabric to a gate would normally be described as "lacing" the gate, as fabric is typically attached by lacing 1.57mm wire around the frame of the gate. Tension would be provided by wire ties until the lacing was complete.
This looks a _lot_ easier. Particularly that "bearclaw" tool. Would have to switch to fittings to secure the fabric though.
Also, good point about the tightness of the chainwire. You can get a fair bit of play in the wire if the gate is long, but at some point you're going to have to decide which straw is the last. When it's a choice between a gate that's a little looser than you'd like and a gate with deformed chainwire, you pick the former.
When I started photography I quickly learned that there was a special gadget for every task. I started buying them when I could afford them… then poof. Digital photography showed up and nearly every gadget was obsolete. Thousands of dollars rendered useless. Can’t even find film or a place to develop it!
Woodworking was a little better. I was able to fill a whole shop with tools and gadgets… new and better ones show up all the time. Fortunately they don’t go obsolete but, it is really tough to not spend money on a faster, better or shinier new one!
You are starting to give me that same feeling about my lifelong collection of fencing tools and gadgets… could it be that mine are becoming obsolete? Please Dan, say it ain’t so!!!
It ain't so, Sassafras! It ain't so! The new might work better but it doesn't mean the old works any worse. 👍🏻
@@SWiFence aWhew!!! Big sigh of relief…Thnx
Great video and looks like a great product. Quick question if you happen to see this. How much does the bear hold tool scratch up vinyl coated fence?
It could scratch it a little but I'm sure you could put a towel between it and the post to keep it controlled.
build 7 of them similar to that design over 35 years ago we call it a end stretcher from 1 3/8" to 2 1/2" od fits all 1- tool. We use for gates and up to 25' pulls always face cut bars down n yes cold galv,
What a time saver!
We should be able to get 1/2 space tension bands or different lenths for gates. PS Your videos are pretty darn good!
Until next time, you have a good dang day 😂
Bolt cutters for cutting fabric and long handle pliers to relieve pressure on hands and wrists, when cutting 9 gage wire. Twist ties to be bent to down to lay on framework is safest position. Fabric at bottom should be flush with bottom of gate to allow for any grade changes under gate. Just a thought.
The fabric is even on the bottom although it may be hard to see in the video. It protrudes at the top only. Gates are also 2" shorter for this reason.
Have to use the tension bands...1 time use could a guy use a ratchet strap ?
I have been cutting tension bars with bolt cutters, never knew you could use a porta band instead.
Years ago we used to do the same thing until we figured out, that’s the fastest way to ruin a pair of bolt cutters.
That's murder on bolt cutters!
“Bear with me” I see what you did there.
You got me! 😂
LOVE the tension tool! Where can I order one?
All the tool links are in the video description. 👍🏻
Link is in description
Is there a tool y’all use to twist the barbs back together when mending rolls back together?
No, no special tool. Just our Klein 9's.
Use kinipex 8 inch bolt cutter. Blows all other cutting tools away
Where can I purchase this didn’t watch the whole video so maybe you mentioned it sorry

I need a SWIfence hat
Found one! bit.ly/swi-hat
Tried to order things off your site but won't let me. Don't ship to Canada =(
Well, yeah, international shipping is a pain in the rear. Here's the deal though, if you'll pay the freight and tariff costs, you can call the shop and we'll ship it to you. 👍🏻🙂 (307) 578-8040.
@@SWiFence Ok Might have to give you guys a call to work something. Hard to find high quality fencing tools in our province. bear hold clamps on amazon are junk only did 20 gates then broke lol.
Do your self a favor a pair of knipex or even better try cordless grinder w/ cutoff wheel. You'll thank me years down the road.
All I use it knipex, they are the best. after a full day of cutting 12.5 g fence wire my hands are toast
We use knipex for hi tensile. Agreed on the grinder!
Go to sleep my man
Thanks, I think I mi--zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
