Chain link fences are very durable! Chain link fencing is more than strong enough and durable enough to protect your home or business - while standing strong in the face of the Central and Southern Indiana weather. Typical physical abuse from falling limbs, landscapers, kids, animals, neighbors, and more are usually no problem for our professional-quality chain link fencing.

If you choose a colored pvc coating which also beautifies the fence, the added corrosion protection will extend the life of your chain link fence for many additional years!

Prices on chain link fences are highly dependent on the amount of fencing you need as well as the exact style, height, and options you select.

We provide chain link fencing quotes for free! Simply reach out to our team through our online form or give us a call and our team of friendly, experienced staff will be glad to walk you through the process and plan a consultation.

Important!

We encourage you to speak with one of our fence experts before focusing solely on price! There are cheaper, very poor quality chain link brands available that are not nearly as durable, don't have the same quality corrosion protection, and have limited (if any) warranty. We don't use them.

There are also very inexperienced and unprofessional fence installers who continually cut corners and don't stand behind their work (regardless of what their so-called-warranty says).

Chain link fences must stand up to the physical demands of the Central and Southern Indiana weather, and physical abuse from falling branches, landscapers, neighbors, animals, and more.

Shopping for the cheapest fence is usually not the best way to make a decision about the fence you want to protect and beautify your property.

PVC coated chain link fencing (sometimes called vinyl coated chain link fencing) is that beautiful colored coating that can be added to chain link fencing. More than a simple color choice, vinyl coating your chain link fence greatly increases the rust and corrosion resistance of the fence and will greatly extend the life of your fence.

Colored vinyl coatings added to chain link fences are very popular in the Central and Southern Indiana area. They are particularly popular for athletic fields, pool areas, and anywhere else where children are commonly found - due to the smooth texture. These PVC coatings are applied at the factory for maximum quality and protection.

It's fairly easy to secure your chain link fence from being able to be pushed out for a pet to escape. A tension wire can be added to the bottom of the chain link to keep it from being pushed out by children or animals. If a tension wire is not enough, a bottom rail could also be installed for an even stronger barrier.

The company is the world’s best Double Wire Fence supplier. We are your one-stop shop for all needs. Our staff are highly-specialized and will help you find the product you need.

Every local municipality in Central and Southern Indiana has a separate set of requirements when it comes to building permits, and that includes chain link fencing.

We have installed many chain link fences in just about every possible area across Central and Southern Indiana so we are happy to answer these sorts of questions and/or to guide you through the process for your specific situation. This is one of the benefits of working with us!

The best way to get specific answers quickly and accurately is to simply call your town building code office.

Fence placement is ultimately the responsibility of you, the customer. Moving a fence after it's already been installed can be costly, so it's never a bad idea to get a survey to be safe. In many cases, the property lines are clear and well-marked and installing your fence can be done without an official survey. However, some municipalities do require it, so be sure to check!

There are many small fence companies in Central and Southern Indiana that install chain link fencing. Very few of them specifically train their teams on the best installation techniques and practices for installing chain link fencing. Unfortunately, this means that your chain link is almost certainly not installed as securely as it could be - which, ultimately, can reduce the quality and lifespan of your fence.

Inferior installation techniques and using improper tools can also damage the chain link during installation which may have the unfortunate impact of voiding the manufacturer's warranty - because you chose an unqualified contractor not approved by the manufacturer.

Also be sure to choose a reliable fence company that has been around. Here are some of the most common pitfalls of using an unreliable, unlicensed, or uninsured chain link fencing contractor:

  1. The Chain Link Fence Warranty is Void
    If the company that installed your chain link isn't still in business down the road, the workmanship warranty on the fence and the gates is worthless. Additionally, some manufacturers won't warranty their fence material if it was damaged during installation or installed improperly - which is fairly common.

  2. The Fence Almost Certainly Won't Last As Long
    As a professional fencing contractor, our team of installers undergoes rigorous training and constant professional supervision. We are dedicated to improving our knowledge and skills of the best fencing materials and the best fence installation techniques for chain link fencing in order to maximize the strength and life of your fence. Companies that simply install fences as something they do "on the side" usually have no idea how much they actually don't know about chain link fencing ... and what is best for you and your property.

  3. Putting Your Property at Risk
    Installing chain link fences in the Central and Southern Indiana area is actually somewhat risky. Sudden, harsh weather during the installation of a fence can blow materials - damaging your business or customer's cars. We've seen concrete splatter up onto cars or drip down long stretches of walkways and driveways - as wet concrete or other materials are transported. The secondary damage to businesses or your customers' vehicles while installing fences by poorly trained labor is a very common thing.

    Additionally, anyone hurt on your property while they are working puts you at risk! If you hire an unqualified fencing contractor - you may be liable.

At first glance, hiring a "cheaper" fence company to install your chain link may appear to save you a few dollars, but in the long run it is almost certainly a price that you simply cannot afford to pay!

Regulations and permit requirements for installing a deer fence can vary depending on your location and local zoning ordinances. Many agricultural fence installations in the Central and Southern Indiana area do not require a permit. Before installing a fence, it's a good idea to check with your local government or zoning authority to determine if there are any specific rules or permits needed for fencing installations in your area, or give our experts a call and let us help you through the permitting process.

Fortunately, our high-quality deer fencing materials require very little maintenance, but regular maintenance of a deer fence is important to ensure its continued effectiveness. Inspect the fence periodically for any damage, such as holes or bent posts, and repair them promptly. Trim vegetation around the fence to prevent deer from using it as a jumping platform. If you have an electric fence, check the power supply and wiring regularly to ensure it's functioning correctly.

The height of a small animal fence depends on the type of animals you're containing. For poultry, a fence around 4 to 6 feet high is generally sufficient. For animals like pigs, a fence around 3 to 4 feet high might be suitable. Our experts will help you determine the right height and specifications for your Central and Southern Indiana small animal fence.

To ensure the safety of small animals, choose fencing materials that prevent them from getting stuck, tangled, or injured. The correct fencing material for your small animal fence will depend on the type of animals you are attempting to enclose; our team can help you determine the right material for your fence. Regularly inspect the fence for any damage, sharp edges, or protrusions that could pose a risk to the animals.

While dog fences are primarily designed to contain dogs, they can also help deter other animals from entering your yard. However, certain animals like rabbits and small rodents might be able to squeeze through or dig under certain types of fences. If deterring specific wildlife is your goal, you might consider woven wire or chain link fencing with a smaller mesh size.

Fence Questions - TractorByNet

This is my first post, but I have been lurking around here for a while... You guys definitely know whats going on. I don't know if it's customary for a first time poster to seek advice, but I guess I'll give'r a whirl.

I recently bought 80 acres that needs completely refenced. I've been around farms all my life, so I know a thing or two about fencing, but I am by no means an expert. I'd like to build a fence that will last a lifetime, with the usual repairs and upkeep of course.

My plan is to use 4" pipe for the corners, braced with 8' long 2 7/8" pipe top and bottom and a diagonal. I am going to try to attach a sketch to show what I'm talking about. I plan on using these double h-braces at all corners, and every 330' or 660', not sure which (advice?). I am going to run 47" Red Brand Field Fence (9 guage top and bottom wires) around the whole property, with a hot wire across the top through t-post caps, and one in the middle.

I plan on using 6' t-posts spaced every 12', with 52" sticking above the earth.

I will be containing cows, horses, and possibly sheep and goats. Also, I'd like to keep it semi-dog proof (another plus for the field fence).

Is the design on these h-braces adequate? Do I need the cross bar? What size of pipe should I use (sch 30, sch 40, etc) I plan on sinking the posts 6' in the ground (skid steer with auger rental), and concreting them in. I also considered filling the pulling post to the top with concrete before it is capped.

What would be a fair price to pay a welder to notch and weld these pipes on for me?

How often should I run another h-brace to hold up the fence? Obviously for all corners, grade changes, etc, but how often on a straight stretch?

And last but not least, how should I attach the field fence to the corner posts? I've never put it up before, so I have no idea. I was thinking of stretching it tight like barb wire and then wrapping the ends around the post, but not sure how to go about this.


Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm sure I'll have more questions in the future, so I apologize in advance for my lack of knowledge.

I don't plan on keeping any bulls, but I guess it could happen in the future. I never thought about backing it with barbless wire, but that is not a bad idea.

I had the field fence with barb wire on top around 10 acres before, and the horses just leaned right over the barb wire, leading to scratches on their necks/heads. I put a hot wire on the top and that prevented that mess.

While this will occasionally hold horses, that will not be the main purpose. I will mainly be keeping cows in with it, and using it for a perimeter fence. I plan on fencing 10 acres with the v-mesh and pipe fence for the horses...just as soon as I learn to weld!

What would be a decent price to pay someone to weld the h-braces up for me? I'm in NE Oklahoma...

I understand about putting the h-braces every 100' in case it is broken, but that would get real pricey real quick. If a fence is broken, I can either splice it back together, or put an h-brace in at the specified interval and go from there. Heres my $.02,

Go to the website for electrobraid (electrobraid.com) Download the install manual. Very clear instruction on bracing. No need to weld or use pipe. Just go with 7 foot or 8 foot posts 5-6 in diameter. Bury 3 feet deep. I know it is for electrobraid but applies to wire as well. I use a single H brace and use the tensioning wire as shown in the electobraid manual. Actually I tensioned using electrobraid instead of brace wire. I agree NO BARB WIRE for horses. Their hide is not cowhide. I have used electrobraid as a top wire as well as 4 strand braid for horses in some paddocks. If installed properly (good grounding) it works like a charm. I also prefer electrobraid to other brands since it has a very high tensile strenght and has copper woven into the braid as opposed to other material.

I would think a brace every several hundred feet is plenty. My only concern is field fence for horses could equal caught foot = fracture= dead horse. However you mentioned v mesh or no climb- good idea. I'm fairly familiar with building fences, not an expert by any means, but familiar with the general concepts.

My goal is to overbuild corners so I never have to replace them. Hence the six foot depth, welded pipe, and overbracing. I realize I'll have to go back and mend fence, probably restretch it, but I think if I put in the time at first I can build a fence that will far outlast me.

I have built several fences using the 6"x8' treated posts set 3' deep, with the typical h-brace. I have also seen a lot of these rot, posts break, lean, concrete footings pull out, etc. I do not want to have to go back and replace my h-braces.

I realize by going 6' deep is probably more than needed, but that's what I'm looking for. The pipe comes in 21' lengths, so that will leave me with 4.5 feet sticking out if I cut them in half. Perfect.

I've had horses in barbed wire before, besides scratches and scrapes I've been pretty lucky and had no injuries.

The field fence will mainly be for cows, not horses. However, I will have electrified strands on it to keep the horses back when theyre in there. There are no neighboring horses, which is usually where you run into trouble. There will also be caps on all of the t-posts to prevent them from being impaled.

My main questions are as follows:

Do I need the diagonal cross brace for the corners?

Another design I have seen is to have a single h-brace with a deadman, as I have attempted to sketch below. How is the deadman anchored in the ground? Welded to a pipe set in a footing? Set in a 3-4' deep footing as far down as the angle will allow?

Would putting up single h-braces, or a single post with a deadman on both sides (as sketched below), every 330' be adequate? This is the length of the rolls.

Thanks again.

Since no one else has mentioned it, first off all, welcome to the site. And, as you can see by the replies so far, there is certainly no harm in starting your first post with a question.

I like your first "H" brace sketch with the diagonals myself. I also think a single post with two angles would be an adequate line brace.

That said, I just "Goodle"d up Red Brand Fencing and they do indeed have a website with downloadable installation and bracing guides. I stopped when I saw how long the bracing guide was taking to download though.

I have no personal experiance with Red Brand though I know plenty of horse people like it. Most of the installs for horses that I see have a board across the top to negate the effects of leaning but electric will do as much. Having used fencing from a number of other suppliers, I always study up on the manufactures recomendations first. That is not to say that I adhere to them though.
