chain link Fence standard size and installation
Chain-link Fabric, which is also known as; Chainwire, Chainmesh, Chainwire Mesh, or diamoned Fence Wire is the ideal fencing material for providing a practical and economical fencing solution to suit a wide range of applications, customer types and site locations.

Common chain link fence heights include 3', 42", 4', 5', 6', 7', 8', 10', and 12', though almost any height is possible. Common mesh gauges are 6, 9, and 11.

Chain link fence aperture sizes
2 1/4": big aperture Suitable for temporary fences or residential use.
2" Mesh: Standard size. Use on most commercial/industrial applications.
1 3/4" and 1 1/2": the suitable aperture size Generally uses on tennis courts and the bottom of backstops so balls don't get stuck.
1 1/4": Considered climb resistant:
1": smaller aperture Considered highly climb resistant

Chain link fenfce wire diameter
11 Guage: Suitable for temporary fences or residential use.
9 Guage: Standard weight. Use on most commercial / industrial applications.
6 Guage: Heavy duty security applications and bottom of backstops

Chain Link Fence - Commercial Fence Applications allowable tolerance of +/- 4mm in the pitch size.

Chain-Link fabric is available in 3 selvedge finishes:
Knuckle – Knuckle (KK)
The wire is knuckled at both ends and is abbreviated as (KK)
Knuckle – Barbed (KB)
The wire is knuckled at the bottom and twisted into a barbed selvedge at the top and is abbreviated as (KB)
Barbed – Barbed (BB)
The wire is twisted into a barbed selvedge at both ends and is abbreviated as (BB)

Commercial chain link Fence Installation
Consider using top rail. Most commercial chain link fencing has top rail to help prevent bending of wire tops.
Sometimes top rail is left off purposely to make jumping the fence more difficult.
Bottom rail on chain link fence helps keep people from pulling up the wire and climbing under it. On ball fields, it helps keep players from sliding under it accidentally.
Setting chain link fence posts in concrete is very common on commercial applications.

Installing chain link fence posts in wetlands can be accomplished using Anchor bolts.
