I have a number of sections of chain link fence where invasive trees have been allowed to grow and have blended with the chain link.

I have cut down the trees above the fence and cut them off below the chain link. The only practical way of getting the tree remnants out of the chain link is to remove short sections of fence and splice in new pieces. Some of the trees are 6 - 10 inches in diameter and have blended with the fence along the entire 5 foot height.

I don't have much experience with installing or splicing chain link, I was hoping to get some pointers on the best way to proceed.


This instructional video from Lowe's about the installation of chain
link fence, is really well done and should give you what you need to
know about splicing your chain link.

You are basically going to need a come-along, something to cut the
bottom tension wire hog rings (not the wire), a couple of tension
bands, a spreader bar, some new hog rings, some new fence fabric and
fence ties.

I learned a couple of things in this video about the installation, I
have never just poured dry concrete into a hole and added water, I
have always mixed it first.

That was exactly what I needed! Thank you very much Norman!
