How to Install a Chain Link Fence 250 Linear Feet!!!

TIME LAPSE photography of installing 250 feet of chain link fence. 1 hour planning, 2 hours purchasing material, 4 hours saw rental, 2 hours hole digger rental, 13 hours actual installation.

I DO NOT own the background music.

1. Install terminal posts 2 feet in ground with maximum spacing of 80'.
2. Install line posts between terminal posts at 10' distances or less. Pour 1/2 bag to 1 bag of concrete in each post hole. As you pour, also pour water and mix with a shovel right in the hole.
3. Attach hardware and top rail.
4. Attach tension wire along bottom (Not shown in video). For looping the tension wire use a crescent wrench. For more tips visit: http://www.hooverfence.com/howto/twire.htm
5. Attach chain link, tighten with temporary tension bar and tie down.

This fence is so straight not even Adam Lambert can convert it.

did both neighbours pay 50%?

@mississauga0909 Unfortunetly, no. I paid the full amount. About $1,000 for the fence. I didn't even ask the neighbor because I already know he's a cheap landlord and won't even fix a bit pot hole in the driveway the tenants use. He doesn't even give the tenant's a phone number to call for communication. I had all to gain with the fence (because my back yard is so large), and he all to lose (additional parking for the rear tenant).

Looks like the gate was hung sideways. Looks like you put in a lot of time with this one.

@fixafencellc Right you are about the gate. lol. I read the gate as 48" x 48" but in actuality, the gate was 42" x 48". Rather than track down a 48" x 48" I put it sidways. The MAIN purpose of the fence was to keep cars from driving all over my property.

how is tension wire installed? is there a special tool to get it tight and twisting at end?

Awesome video! ...What is the name of the background song?

Cool video, well done. The time-lapse worked really well. Sweet tune, too. Regards from Canada.

@DecalfxVideos There are two rental properties with an asphalt driveway partially on my lot. Both lots used to owned by one person, hence the bad installation of the driveway. I cut on the property line all the way down so the neighbor or I could repair our own driveway without affecting the other side.

Also, I have plans in the future so I cut a second line on my side for future landscaping and easy asphalt removal.
