What installation and repair work involves

Installation begins with setting terminal and corner posts in concrete, followed by line posts spaced evenly along the fence run in Thibodaux and surrounding cities. Top rails are threaded through the posts and secured, and chain link fabric is unrolled and stretched tight between terminals using a come-along or fence stretcher. The fabric is fastened to the top rail with ties and secured to line posts with bands or clips.

When the fence is finished, you will see a taut, even surface that does not sag or wave between posts. Gates swing freely and latch without rattling, and the fabric is pulled tight enough that it does not bow or ripple when weight is applied. The fence follows the contour of the ground without leaving large gaps at the bottom.

Repairs address specific problems without redoing the entire fence. Bent or leaning posts are straightened or replaced and reset in concrete. Torn or rusted fabric is cut out and a new section is woven in and stretched to match the tension of the existing fence. Gate frames that have twisted are realigned or rebuilt, and hinges and latches are replaced if worn. The result is a fence that functions like it did when first installed.

Common concerns before installation or repair begins

Property owners in Thibodaux and surrounding parishes often ask these questions when planning chain link fence projects.

What is the difference between galvanized and vinyl-coated chain link?

Galvanized chain link has a silver zinc coating that resists rust, while vinyl-coated chain link adds a layer of colored plastic over the galvanized wire for extra corrosion protection and a softer appearance. Both types hold up well in humid climates like Thibodaux and surrounding cities.

How tall should a chain link fence be for a dog?
Most homeowners use four-foot fencing for small dogs and five- to six-foot fencing for larger or more athletic breeds. If your dog jumps or climbs, you may need a taller fence or an angled top rail to prevent escapes.
When should I repair a chain link fence instead of replacing it?
If only a few sections of fabric are torn or a couple of posts are bent, repair is usually faster and more affordable. If the fence is heavily rusted, most posts are leaning, or the fabric is sagging along the entire run, replacement makes more sense.
How long does chain link fence installation take?

Most residential chain link fences in Thibodaux and surrounding parishes can be installed in one to two days depending on the length and terrain. Commercial projects or fences with multiple gates may take longer.

What causes chain link fabric to sag or come loose?
Fabric sags when tension is lost due to stretched ties, loose bands, or posts that have shifted over time. Re-stretching the fabric and securing it properly to the posts usually fixes the problem without needing to replace the entire section.
