Black chain link fence is quickly becoming an extremely popular residential alternative to galvanized chain link fence. Black chain link fence also commonly known as black vinyl fence is great for surrounding your yard, building a dog run or fencing in a pool for a lower cost than ornamental iron.
If you are looking to buy black chainlink fabric expect to purchase it in 50′ rolls as that is the most common measurement for the wire. Galvanized chain link is typically sold in 11 gauge (the thickness of the wire) and black chain link is typically 8 or 9 gauge, slightly thicker than galvanized due to the vinyl coating applied to the wire. 2 1/4″ is a popular open space for the wire and you can get 1 3/4″ and even smaller if that’s what you need for a sportcourt or another application. If you have over 300′ of fence you should use a flat bed truck or something larger than a standard pickup truck as you might have trouble transporting it.
The fence posts for your chain link fence are very important. First off you need what are called terminal or end posts. Just like they sound these posts are slightly larger than the rest and are used wherever you have a significant turn in your fence layout. A common diameter for residential terminal posts is 2 3/8″ and a common pipe thickness is structural. Structural applies to the thickness of the tube, piping is the least thick, structural is next and then schedule 40 is the thickest pipe you can get for your post. Your next type of post is the line post, a fence for your house would use a 1 7/8″ diamter
To fasten your wire to your post your going to need black chain link fittings. You can get post caps, loop caps, rail ends, line clamps and tension bars. You can get barbed and razor wire to go on top of your fence if you are installing in a commercial or industrial area.
If you’re putting up a fence you’re going to need black chain link gates. Make sure you take an exact measurement of your gate because you will have to premake it before installation.
