Key Considerations When Installing a Chain Link Fence

Terminal posts carry the fabric tension on a chain link fence, so they get the tension bands, brace bands, and end caps the line posts don't. This ArcSite diagram labels every fitting on both post types, so you can count what each corner and run needs.

FAQ

Does this diagram show post spacing or footing depth?

No. It labels each part and shows the posts set in concrete, but not exact spacing or depth. Use local code and your soil conditions to set both.

Can I add a gate?

Yes! You can add a gate opening and gate posts in ArcSite wherever the run needs one.

Can I reuse this drawing on my next job?

Sure. Save your edited version as a template in ArcSite and open it whenever a new chain link bid comes in.
