Our color coated residential framework is made of high tensile steel. 100% galvanized inside and outside. Comes in choice of brown, black, and green. Residential grade used for fence posts and top railing. Can be purchased in full lengths or as cut posts for your convenience.
Residential grade pipe is used for the framework of the fence. Use for all horizontal rails, braces, and gates. 1-3/8" and 1-5/8" top rail is usually order swedged, meaning one end of each piece is tapered for fitting into the next. Heavier pipe will need top rail sleeves.
Terminal posts for residential chain link fence are typically 2-1/2' longer than the height of fence being installed, i.e. a 6' high fence has 8 1/2' long terminal posts. Line posts are typically 2' longer than the height of fence being installed for residential applications, i.e. a 6' high fence has 8' long line posts. Check your local building codes and practices for proper installation.
Volume discounts provided on full bundle quantities (see specifications).
General Guidelines:
Residential Fences 5' High and Shorter - Use 1-3/8" or 1-5/8" top rail, 2-1/2" terminals, 1-5/8" line posts
Residential Fences 6' High - Use 1-3/8" or 1-5/8" top rail, 2-1/2" terminals, 2" line posts

Weights shown are approximate.
Chain link fence posts are typically spaced a maximum of 10' apart; 8' maximum post spacing and a heavier wall is recommended if privacy slats are to be used. Terminal posts are typically 2 1/2' longer than than the height of fence installed; line posts are typically 2' longer than the height of fence installed. The length of post does not necessarily correspond with the footer depth, or depth of hole to be filled with cement. There should be concrete underneath posts when installed. For best performance, cement all posts in concrete. At a minimum set all terminal posts in cement and drive line posts using a post driver. Line posts that are driven should also have spade post anchors installed to prevent leaning. Another strong alternative to cementing posts is to use Oz-Post drive in anchors.
