How To Maintain And Repair Your Chain Link Fence

Chain link fencing is a great solution for security and privacy because it is relatively

cheap to purchase and install, and easy to repair and keep clean. Maintaining a chain link fence can be either a relatively nonexistent or potentially frequent chore, however, depending on where it is located and how it is used.

Here, we will take a look at some of the aspects of keeping chain link fences clean, repairing them when they are damaged, and how to replace them in the event that they are damaged beyond repair.

Chain link fences are most frequently used for security in commercial, government, and military areas. They are not generally used around residences because they are not very attractive, but they can sometimes be seen around homes.

Cleaning chain link fences is relatively easy, and most can be kept clean simply by running a cloth along them to pick up spider webs, dirt, fibers, and other grime that may cling to them. Because chain link is often used to deter intruders, however, it is subject to a greater amount of wear and tear than fencing in other applications.

Chain link fencing is actually relatively easy to damage, due to the fact that it is cheaply made. It is resistant to general force such as striking with an object or having someone push against it. It is weak to specific force, though, such as cutting or torches. It can also be bent and pulled to allow entry.

Reinforcing the fence will not only repair but can help prevent bending and warping, and this is usually done by weaving a steel cable horizontally through the ends. They can also be made more resistant to cutting by thickening the cables. If the cables are cut in a way that it compromises the integrity of the fence, that section of fencing will need to be replaced.

Replacing sections of chain link is relatively easy, as they can simply be cut away and then a new section can be attached to the posts in its place. Depending on the amount of fence between posts, it will take a different amount of fence to replace the lost segment.

Obviously, a smaller amount of space between posts will make it easier and cheaper to replace damaged segments. Chain link is a popular solution for security because of this ease in repairing and replacing lost segments, and because it can be augmented with extra security.
