Proper Chain Link Fence Removal – Perth Contracting Companies Provide Necessary Steps

Fences are usually installed for the purpose of separating a particular area and protecting it from intruders, hence most of them are very sturdy and durable. A chain link fence, in particular, can last through several decades despite frequent exposure to all sorts of elements. They’re also hard to penetrate unless you use heavy duty cutters (you would have to snip through the thick wire “net,” however) or decide to climb over.

But if, for some reason (say, you’re expanding your property and you need to remove this fence and reinstall it elsewhere), chain link fence removal, Perth contracting companies claim, can be carried out without much difficulty and you can even save most of the materials for reinstallation. While the best way to accomplish this task is to hire professionals because they have all the equipment to handle heavy materials, you and a group of able-bodied folks can also carry out this job. Just follow the instructions provided by the experts and you’ll have your heavy fence removed “easily.”

1. Prepare the area by determining the amount of space you will have to work with. Make sure you have ample space for all movements and the materials you’ll be taking down and putting away. For example, the fence fabric’s (the wire net’s) height has to be measured so there’ll be enough space for it to be set down and rolled up.
2.  Get rid of plants and obstructions (like rocks) near the fence, especially if you wish to reuse them.
3. Prepare all your tools and equipment. Get the handcart and all your cutting tools ready – make sure they’re easily within your reach (if you don’t have a tool belt).
4. Start removal at an end or corner post because this is where the fence fabric is attached to the post. Work through the tension bar and the clamps to release the fabric by undoing the screws, securing the clamps and loosening the tension bar. You can pull out the clamps and follow this up by pulling the tension bar out. With this method, you get to preserve all the hardware.
5. Once the clamps and tension bars are removed, choose a section of fence fabric to remove from the end or corner post.Keep sections of the fabric within 15 metres so you can easily lift and roll it; just mark the spot for 15 metres.
6. Remove the fence ties that attach the fabric to the top rail and posts.
7. Set the fence fabric down and roll up to the 15-metre mark, break the fence fabric, bend the edges (so it will not snag anything as you store it),then secure with wire or bungee cord to prevent it from coming undone so you can store it in an upright position.
8. Remove the top rail first once all the fabric’s been removed, and then remove all the attached implements like the caps and post stops.
9. Finally, remove the posts. You can either saw them off from the base (if they’re set in cement) or pull them out by moving them back and forth or digging around them.
