How Do You Install A Chain Link Fence Without Concrete?
Chain link is a popular fence material that offers an effective barrier at a lower cost than other fence types. The construction of chain link fencing is generally simple and commonly involves the use of concrete to anchor its fence posts. Concrete offers a stable and durable footing for the chain link posts, but is not always necessary. Bedding sand is a commonly used alternative to concrete, and can be installed without the mess and intensive preparation of concrete, thus offering an easier fence installation. Mark the perimeter of the fence by driving wood stakes in the corners using the small sledgehammer (leave about three-quarters of the stake out of the ground). Stretch the mason’s line from stake to stake, tying the line about 1 inch from the top of the stakes. Measure and mark the fence post locations along the mason’s line using the tape measure and inverted marking paint. The post spacing can vary from 6 to 8 feet (on center) depending on the length of the fence top rails. D
