Posts and rail are the frame the fabric hangs on. Line posts hold the run straight, terminal posts take the pull at ends, corners and gates, and the top rail keeps the top of the fabric level and tight. Every chain link run needs them, and a gate opening needs a gate post that can carry the gate.
Set posts in concrete and give them time to set before you stretch the fabric — Florida heat sets concrete fast, but the pull of a stretched run is strong, so do not rush it.
Six feet is the usual backyard height; front yards in Orlando are usually limited to 4 ft, and each city, county and HOA sets its own rules. The City of Orlando permit guide lists chain link among the materials that do not need a permit at 6 ft or less on a one- or two-family property, as long as the fence meets city code.
Set the terminal posts first — ends, corners and gates — and brace them before you stretch anything. Run a line between them and set the line posts to it, so the run stays straight. Hang the top rail with rail ends and sleeves, then stretch the fabric tight.
Gate posts carry the weight of the gate, so set them solid and check them plumb before the concrete sets.
Measure the run first with our measure tool — trace the fence on the satellite view and we get the footage, corners and gate openings with your quote request.
Send the total footage, the number of corners and the gate openings. The team sizes the line, terminal and gate posts and the rail to the run, and quotes the fabric and fittings with them.
It depends on the footage, the corners and the gates. Send the measurements — or trace the run on our measure tool — and the team sizes the posts for you.
A terminal post is the post at an end, a corner or a gate. It takes the pull of the stretched fabric, so it is set with bracing. Line posts hold the middle of the run.
Yes. A gate post carries the weight and the swing of the gate, so it is set heavier than a line post. Tell us the gate openings and the team sizes them.
Yes. Terminal caps, loop caps, rail ends, rail end cups and rail sleeves are all stocked with the posts. See the fittings and hardware page.
Yes, up to 3 hours from our yard with no minimum order. Delivery needs at least 24 hours of notice. You can also pick up in Orlando.
