You can install a chain link fence without using concrete, And if your gate is swinging inward, vice versa. Look to the instruction manual of the hardware for installation instruction specific to your model.
You'll first install your hinges on your gate frame. In my experience, I like to measure from both the top and bottom of the gate an even distance, and that is where I choose to install my hinge hardware.
For example, I'll measure 6" down from the top of the gate frame, install my hinge, and then measure 6" up from the bottom of my gate frame, install my second hinge.
This allows for an even weight distribution from top to bottom and an all around more symmetrical look. Once you have installed your hinges to your gate frame, it is time to anchor them down to the dried gate post. You'll want two people for this portion of the installation. While one person picks up the gate frame and holds it to the post, the other will anchor down fasteners.
Be sure to align your horizontal rails on the gate frame with the horizontal rails of the installed fencing, if applicable. If you do not have fencing installed, and you are installing a stand-alone gate, align the 2" gate frame to the top of the gate post.
Once they are aligned, anchor down your hinges to the post. Installing your latch is easy! Many latches are different in their design.
I will be going over how to install the standard gravity latch that is sent out with our orders. If you've chosen a different latching mechanism, please refer to the installation manual for instructions. With the gravity latch there is two parts; the striker and the latch. Be sure to install the latch high enough on the post so small children cannot open the gate. If installing around a pool, be sure to check local pool codes and install an approved latch Ask about our MagnaLatch.
First, hold the latch up to the gate post, and mark your holes. Drill your pilot holes and then anchor your latch down with provided fasteners.
Hold the striker onto the gate frame so that it is even with the latch. Drill your pilot holes and anchor the striker down. Be sure to double check all your fasteners so that every hole is anchored down tightly. Adjusting your hinges is the last step! Refer to your manual for specific instructions. Adjust the tension on your hinges so that the gate closes by itself once its opened. Be sure not to increase the self-closing tension so much that the gate slams closed.
This is not good for the post or hardware over a long period of time. Pressure-treated pine is usually the most affordable lumber, while tropical hardwoods and redwood are typically the most expensive. Calculate how much material you need. Measure the perimeter of your backyard or whatever area you want to fence in in linear feet.
In this DIY example, we include the material costs and construction process for a linear foot fence made of wood. Outline and plan the fence. You can use this string as a guideline while you install your fence posts and pickets. Space out fence posts. Every 6 to 8 feet along the outline you created, mark a spot on the ground with spray paint for the fence post holes. The space between each post should be consistent all the way around. Your fence will almost definitely need a gate, so mark two parallel lines to show where the gate will go.
Prepare post holes. With a post hole digger or a power auger if you have one, to make the job a little easier , dig a hole on each spray-painted mark.
The depth and width of each hole depends on the size of your fence posts. Dig 3 to 4 inches extra for the gravel base. Pour gravel in each hole. To help water drain away from the posts, each hole will need a gravel base. Pour 3 to 4 inches of gravel in each hole and tamp it down. Mix concrete. Choose a fast-acting concrete if you want the posts to set quicker. Install fence posts in concrete.
Stand one post in the middle of each of the holes you just dug. Have a partner hold the posts plumb or brace them with stakes to keep them standing up straight as you pour concrete into the hole. After you pour it, slope the concrete away from the post for drainage. On top of the concrete, backfill each hole with 1 or 2 inches of dirt and pack it in tightly.
The concrete has to set before you can move on to the next step, and this might take several days. Attach horizontal rails. After the concrete dries, attach horizontal rails between each post. About 6 inches from the top and bottom of the posts, attach a horizontal rail using a hammer or drill.
For a fence of 6 feet or taller which a privacy fence will almost always be , you should also include a middle rail for increased stability. Use a level to check regularly that the rails stay straight.
Install fence pickets. With the hammer or drill, attach pickets along every rail. For a true privacy fence, leave no gaps between each picket.
