How to put up chain link fencing?

I need to put up a fence for my dogs and was going to do it myself. How hard is it??|||It is pretty easy. All you need is patience, a few tools and some elbow grease. I did this a few years ago and all I needed was the following:





1. Measuring tape


2. chalk line


3. wood stakes


4. Socket/ratchet





Lay out the perimeter of the fence, use the stakes and chalk line to draw it out. Decide the spacing between fence sections. Mark the location for the holes (for posts) based on the spacing. Start installing the posts at the corners. Dig hole, put concrete, insert post, make sure post is plumb, move on to next post and repeat. Once you have all the posts in place, you just have to put up the chainlink. This is the easy part, get someone to help you, you%26#039;ll need to stretch it between fence sections.





Good luck!

invest in a pole driver, about $20.00. It%26#039;s a weighted cone shaped tool with handles that you set over the pole and use kinda like a hammer, this is the laborious part. We never use concrete for our dog kennels. Using top horizontal poles gives it stability. Running wire through bottom fencing and staking wire down keeps pets from going under fence. |||it is not that hard just put concrete in the hole around then have a niehbor hold the fence and fasent it to the post|||Very easy i did mine myself,most of the home improvement stores have free pamphlets.
