FenceCount tension points separately
A chain-link layout needs more than mesh length. Identify terminal posts at ends, corners and gates, then line posts within straight runs. List top rails, tension bars, bands, ties, caps and gate components according to the chosen system. Terminal assemblies may differ from line-post assemblies.
Record mesh height, wire specification, coating and roll length from the supplier. Count rolls by usable fenced length, allowing for joins and cut planning. Gate openings do not receive fence mesh unless the gate itself will be fabricated from it.
The visual planner can establish route length and junction positions. Its panel and timber lists are not a complete chain-link bill of materials. Prepare the system-specific fittings list before ordering and confirm terminal bracing and foundations. Ask the supplier which components are included in each package.
