Full details

This VIDAXL chain link fence is designed for homeowners and property managers seeking a durable and flexible barrier solution. Its key benefit is providing a secure, long-lasting enclosure for properties or animal containment with ease of installation thanks to spike anchors. A potential caveat is that while the material is durable, proper installation is crucial for maximum effectiveness and longevity. This fence is constructed from galvanized steel with a PVC coating, offering excellent resistance to corrosion and UV rays, and features an interlocking design for enhanced strength and flexibility. The kit includes fence rolls, posts (straight and strut), spikes for posts, and binding wire.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the primary material of this fence?

The fence is made from galvanized steel with a protective PVC coating.

What are the dimensions of the fence?

The fence roll measures 0.8 meters in height and 25 meters in length.

What is the mesh size?

The mesh size is 60 x 60 mm.

Do I need special tools to install this fence?

Basic tools like a hammer or mallet for driving posts, pliers, and wire cutters for the binding wire are generally sufficient. A measuring tape is also recommended.

Can this fence be cut to a smaller size?

Yes, the interlocking design allows you to cut the fence to your desired size using appropriate cutting tools.

Are the posts included with spikes?

Yes, the delivery includes straight posts and strut posts, each with a corresponding spike anchor.

What is the main benefit of the PVC coating?

The PVC coating enhances resistance to UV rays, rust, and wear, extending the lifespan of the fence.

How do I ensure the fence is secure in the ground?

The included spike anchors should be driven firmly into the ground. The stability depends on the ground type and the thoroughness of installation.

Troubleshooting

Fence posts are unstable.

Ensure the spike anchors are fully driven into the ground. For harder ground, consider pre-drilling pilot holes or using a heavier mallet. For very soft ground, consider additional bracing or concrete footings.

Mesh is sagging or not taut.

Check the spacing between posts; reduce if too wide. Ensure the binding wire is securely fastened at multiple points along each post. Re-tension the fence by pulling it taut before final fastening.

PVC coating is peeling or damaged.

If minor, you can try to smooth it down. For significant damage, consider applying a compatible exterior-grade sealant to protect the underlying steel. This is more common with prolonged, harsh exposure.

Binding wire is difficult to work with.

Use pliers or wire cutters to securely twist and cut the binding wire. Work in manageable lengths. Ensure you have enough binding wire for all connection points.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High durability due to galvanized steel and PVC coating.
  • Excellent resistance to rust, UV rays, and environmental wear.
  • Flexible and strong interlocking mesh design.
  • Includes all necessary components for setup, including spike anchors.
  • Can be cut to size for custom installations.
  • Suitable for various outdoor security and containment needs.

Cons

  • Requires assembly and proper installation for optimal stability.
  • Spike anchors may require specific ground conditions for secure insertion.
  • The green color may not blend with all landscape aesthetics.
  • The mesh size (60x60mm) might be too large for very small pets.
  • Long-term exposure to extreme weather could still affect the coating over many years.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Layout: Unroll the chain link fence and determine the desired perimeter. Ensure the ground is relatively level.
  2. Post Installation: Insert the straight posts and strut posts into the ground using the provided spikes. For firmer ground, manual hammering might be required. Place posts at regular intervals (consult fence specifications for recommended spacing) and at corners/ends.
  3. Attach Fence: Fasten the chain link fence to the posts using the binding wire. Start at one end and work your way along the length, securing the top, middle, and bottom of the fence to each post.
  4. Secure Strut Posts: Connect the diagonal strut posts to the main posts using the provided holders to add extra stability, especially at corners or gates.
  5. Tensioning: Ensure the fence is taut. The interlocking design offers some inherent tension, but adjust as needed.

Compatibility:

  • This fence is compatible with most standard fence post accessories.
  • The spike anchor system is best suited for soft to moderately firm soil. Rocky or very hard ground may require alternative anchoring methods.

Care:

  • Clean the fence periodically with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris.
  • Inspect the PVC coating and galvanized steel for any signs of significant damage or corrosion. Address minor issues promptly to prevent further degradation.
  • Ensure posts remain securely anchored, especially after heavy winds or rain.
