Our HF20 framework is a medium weight pipe/tube that is suitable for residential and commercial use. Product can be purchased in full lengths or as cut posts for your convenience.
HF20 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.
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.

Post length does not always correspond with footer depth. The footer should extend below the post to frost depth. A commercial fence with line posts 8-1/2' long would provide about 2'9" below ground. In many northern climates, the frost depth could be 3' or more. Pour footers to that frost depth and suspend the post in the concrete. This can be accomplished simply by pouring the concrete into the hole first and sticking the post to depth immediately afterward. With a proper concrete mix, the post will not require bracing to stay at the proper height.
