Of all the industrial fence that I have installed we always used pressed steel or cast railend cups with a hole in them for the excess truss rod to go through and into the brace rail and put the tensioner at the bottom of the 3"-4" terminal post. That way that ugly bend is not exposed and visible and it is practically impossible for the bend to come undone. Also I like for my T-handle to have a slots in it rather than holes (fabricated from SS40 pipe of course). Makes it easier to remove from the wire you are tightening, especially barbed wire.
I work for a fencing and cedar business and let me tell you this is extremely helpful for me now I know what the guys are talking about when I’m writing estimates lol
Would love to see this and every other step of chain link! I’d love to do more in my business but I really am not skilled at it enough to embrace the chain link side of fencing.
Josh Greene very cool. We’re doing our first 6+1 barb wire with 35’ roll gates. Haven’t been confident enough on the cantilever design to bid those. How’s your job going?
At 2:51, truss rod looks like smooth rod but at 4:00 clearly there are threads at one end. What is this stuff called if I try to order it since I've never seen this before? I know what threaded rod is but it's threaded entire length. You guys are not just amazing fence installers but your videos are serious top notch...and you guys are so upbeat and positive.
We do alot of military bases and I have never seen a makeup with a truss rod like that .typically we out it in the bottom and make are bend at the top and hog ring that tail.how all are specs call for
Where do you get your pipe from I have been struggling to find 3inch and 4 in pipe for commercial fences. I have some jobs lined out but very hard to find hardware in these large sizes.
ASTM is the go-to resource for chain link building code. Residential: www.astm.org/Standards/F654.htm Security: www.astm.org/Standards/F2611.htm You'll need to check your local county and state codes as well, but this will get you solidly off in the right direciton.
? You don't have combo cups for your rail ends so all you need to slide truss rod in brace pipe. That way you don't have cut truss rod at all. The tightener goes to bottom of post.
Combos have never been our thing. Many times they are harder to get and cost more for what ever reason. Try putting the tighter like we do and you'll never do it the old way again. It's much better to adjust where we have it. We learned that hack from one of the greats Virgil Thomas.
Yeah the pipe you’re using is too big I got a pair a little pipes that I carry like nunchucks because I’m a fence ninja and I get her done sweet and smooth nice no problem but I’d like your method to
1- anytime the fence is over 6 foot tall 2- if you’re using a top tension wire instead of a top rail 3- What is the application of the fence residential probably not commercial industrial yes.
An edit. We used to have an intro in our videos, but nobody watches intros any more, so we went back and cut out all the intros on the videos already posted. 👍🏻
Knipex Lineman are sharper, better steel and better action (not as stiff as Klein) and only cost about 5 dollars more. That's my experience as an electrician having used both brands
I LIKE THE WAY YOU EXPLAIN THE PROCESS. THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR ALL YOUR VIDEOS.
You are welcome!
Great information for home owners. I’m getting bids now to fence my yard. Nice to see the process.
Glad it was helpful!

the commentary is not only informative, but hilarious!!! thanks great video
You're welcome!
Love this series! Can’t wait to see other videos. Would love to see more of chain link installs. You guys do an awesome job!
Tillman 1414's best fence gloves for the price! We buy em by the dozen.
👍 Yep!

Watching from Kochin, Kerala, India with lot of satisfaction....
കണ്ടതിന് നന്ദി! നിങ്ങൾ ഇവിടെ വന്നതിൽ ഞങ്ങൾക്ക് അതിയായ സന്തോഷമുണ്ട്.
lol I like the fact that when you say, get a cold one, you're talking about a ice cold water; I found that funny!
Do a video on how you run your lines

Did a 400 ft 6ft plus barb last week. Have you ever done barb wire? How many feet is it?
@@emsroks Not to bad me and one other guy were able to anchor 5 post and frame it all in the first day

We simply call it "truss rod." If you good "chain link truss rod" you'll get results.
And thanks for the compliment!

9:31 pause.. great vid guys lol
Thanks
Great videos
Thanks

Love your detail to details and why. Excellent.
Thank you very much!
Always had to truss both sides of the corner regardless if it's only one panel on one side. But I get your point. Don't really need to.
TUFF INDUSTRIAL BABYYYYY WHOOOOO
about how much weight could those rail end cap hold? Do you think it could work as sturdy enough join for a chin up bar?
I use a come along and a wire dog for my tension wire and barbed wire
Great video! Any books or publications you can refer me to learn more on the rules and regulations when building with chain link? I live in CA.

You'll need to check your local county and state codes as well, but this will get you solidly off in the right direciton.
Do you guys set commercial lines 2”, 2.5” or 3” below fabric height?
For chain link fence we set our lines 3" below fabric height.

I was wondering the same thing?

@@SWiFence Just different for us. All our vendors carry almost exclusively press or cas steel combo cups. About the only thing you get here.
Klein’s was my choice when I worked as a scaffold builder Till I found out about knipex cuts 9 wire effortlessly
I have a pair of them as well, for what we do I still prefer the Kleins. 👍
I like the dual function of 9's but you're right about knipex cutting easy!
Thank you
Good stuff guys!
glad you like them!
Excellent video guys.
Thanks so much!

same, i use 2 pieces of 3/4'' EMT conduit
can we get a close up of the hard wear used to hang to braces horizontal bars

How do you determine when to add that brace instead of just relying on the top rail?
1- anytime the fence is over 6 foot tall
2- if you’re using a top tension wire instead of a top rail
3- What is the application of the fence residential probably not commercial industrial yes.
@@SWiFence AWSOME, thank you guys!
I hope your office meeting went well Dan 😂
My guess is he had to do some paperwork!
Where did you guys get your tape measure clips?
We found those at a local lumber yard.
What’s the flash at :25? Subliminal advertising? 😵💫😃

Why dont you use a cut off wheel? Bc of fire?
You can, but the bandsaw is so much faster and a little safer.

I got a thought you might be interested interested in let me know if you want to check it out it’s a chain-link needle Paul or Pickett polar
That kick wire is loose
Are you referring to the tension wire?
