Im a DIY & a noob to fencing but your video made it so much easier for me to know what hardware is needed to secure the chain link to the posts so thank you! Great video btw .
😁 I enjoy your videos. We were fixing to build a back yard fence a while back and we found your videos. We’re still watching your fence videos.
Thanks Joe. I've learn a lot just by watching your videos. You're very comprehensive in your explanation.
Awesome video.
Great video with explanation Joe! The editing on the video was great as well!
Don’t know how I missed this video. Excellent explaining Joe.
The brace band is also used on the bottom if you use tension wire or a rail on the bottom. Great video, thanks.
On tj brownie comment, usually tensin wire is used in grass or dirt ground. But i'm no pro, I did use it on the
fence I built last week.
That was most helpful. Thank you
This is the best chain link fence video. It is Incredible what I was able to do on my own and how much money I saved. Thank you!
Very welcome, always happy to help!
Thank you for this video. I subbed to show support.
best chain link fence video i’ve ever seen
Thanks for watching and weighing in!
I’m feeling all loosey goosey. 🤣
oh and top rail sleeves unless your top rail is swedged ?
Great video
Thank you! Can’t wait to see you folks at FenceTech!
Good information
Thanks Sheila!
Great post
Thanks, I appreciate the support!
Dear Joe, I'm a big fan of your videos. I have a question about the tension bars that you slip in at the end of the chain cloth. There's a hole on one end of the bar and a notch on the same end. I sure would love it if you could do a short video on how to use those. I've looked at quite a few videos including some of your own but nobody seems to cover it.
LOOP CAPS & DOME CAPS, lol / Saved me work with the newbies.. Thanks.
I have heard the wire fencing called fabric...is this correct????.....also the tension bar helps when you are stretching the fabric(fencing) with a come-a-long to fit the opening to secure the tension bands
What about the tension brace? Kidding..fantastic video showing the basic nomenclature, which is normally overlooked.
Appreciate the feedback!
I've been working on the fences around my house. Years ago somebody put a one foot section of chain link fabric connecting a large fence and a small fence. There's no support on it and it's bent from somebody jumping the fence. Is it worth trying to bend it back or should I just replace it? I haven't had any success bending it back yet but I'm probably using the wrong tools. Thanks in advance.
what about post caps and eye tops ? they are kind of important?
Eye tops? Are those line caps?
YES! I just need to know what everything is called and see what sizes thing are so I can get the right pieces!
Let me know if you need any help!
Great video; simple and clear. My problem is I live in Morocco. Proper parts are often hard to come by or are unavailable.
Oh wow, I could imagine that make it things difficult!
Thanks for your videos, I enjoy watching them. I've done fencing also, I'd love to have one of your fence signs to add to my collection. I'm in California. I'd gladly pay the shipping fee.
Thanks Danny, I really appreciate the support! Just send your address to shipping@ozfence.com and they’ll get a sign out to you!
What are your thoughts on bottom wire, I see you don’t use it on this fence, we install it on all chain link.
GRACIAS!! GREAT JOB!
¡De nada! Thanks for watching!
The chain is pretty important on your setup there, without it, your gate would be all loosey goosey!
No bottom cable. Bottom cable is key.
Does there need to be any support for the wire along the bottom of the fence or does it not make a difference?
You can run a tension wire along the bottom, but most of the time that's for yards with dogs who dig and things like that. Otherwise, the tension on the fabric is plenty to keep it up for a long time.
Did you mention the bottom tension wire that runs across?
any tips of getting started on a chainlink business? almost have all the tools we use,a welder for making gates,where is a good bulk place to order fittings from ? lowes charges alot
We’ll, we actually sell fittings. Check out www.ozfence.store, contractors qualify for a 15% discount from the listed prices.
In answer to your question, the important part that you left out is the loop caps that connect the line posts to the top rail.
That fence post earned its way onto the video. He was around when Ozark was still in diapers!
Joe...how about the surface mount at the bottom of the post? I want to build an enclosure on top of a wood deck but can't seem to find that part at Home Depot.
We weld these in-house, but most fabricating shops could weld one on for you. We sell the base plates at ozfence.store, or you can probably find them locally at a fence company.
my chain-link fence door sags a little . How would I raise door and keep from door having to be lifted up when closing or opening?
Loosen and then raise the gate hinges and retighten.
Bolt and nut.
Galvanized or not
Size matters
Carriage bolt or
Freaking funny and informative
Do I need caps ? my post are cemented 2 ft the bottom is in dirt.
@@JoeEverest OK thanks!
How do you repair an 8X8 hole in the bottom of your chain link fence?
To repair it right, you’ll have to replace around 10” of the fabric. I’ve seen some people try to just patch the whole, but replacing the wire is really the best option.
all the nuts and bolts. lol.
I really enjoy watching your videos. You do very well at explaining fence. But I can't help myself and I will surely burn for my comment. You forgot the post caps and the line tops or (loop caps) along with tension wire ( anybody seen my pork chop?) and "hog rings"
Great points!
What about the Eye Top??
Great catch, the loop tops are very important!
🥰🥰😍
Top rail bolt backwards.
Great catch!
You forgot about the flux capacitor.
Great video, but the rail end is upside down.
Great catch!
"We'll discuss it, I love talking to you guys in the comments". 33 comments and questions, he only replied once 🤷
Unfortunately when we switched to a CZcams Brand Account it removed all my previous comments and replies on all of the videos that I made from the personal account.
@@JoeEverest oh wow. My apologies 🙏
No worries, I can absolutely see how it would look like I was ignoring everyone!
The Nut on your Brace band is on the Outside..Backwards.
@@JoeEverest well it is..
@@JoeEverest sorry Buddy but I'm OCD. LOL My Boss hung Half of a Double Drive Gate "Backwards" not long ago and I'm Not gonna let him live it down! Lol Great video though!
If anyone else knows or could direct me to a video I would appreciate it
You forgot the cap fitting 🤣
🤦♂️
'Nuts should be on the inside, not facing the road em I wrong ?
Good call! The guys must have missed that one when we flipped the wire and fittings around. Great eye!
Why have a fence that you can see through.
:)
Thanks for watching!
Nothing to secure the chain link to the concrete pavement. Easy to access to the other side
If the wire pulling up is a concern we typically run a thick bottom wire. This concern would be the same regardless if the fence was installed on concrete or dirt.
Tension wire? Must be the Midwest.
We are! Would you rather use a bottom rail to keep the wire from being pulled up?
No line top? 🥲
Apparently, the most unsung of the unsung heroes… 😂
