At the same time, the appearance on the market of construction products more technological and convenient plastic, concrete, wrought iron fences, as well as fences made of metal profile has led to what has become commonplace for many members of the older generation Rabitsa mesh was temporarily in the shadows.
But all this does not mean that this convenient and cheap building material began to take previously won positions. To date, a number of parameters of the chain link fence is not only not inferior to most of these new products, but also continues to compete successfully with them.

To install a fence made of netting, you must first prepare the materials for work, pre-determining their number:
- we measure a site of protections on perimeter, for this purpose we put four angular columns and we start up a cord on them. Its length is the amount of material in length;
- once you have calculated the required amount of grid, it will be easier for you to calculate the number of support columns and other auxiliary materials.
In addition to the grid, we need:
- wooden or metal poles;
- wire or cable for fasteners.
How to install a fence from Rabitsa
Installation of columns
You can use metal or wooden columns. The first option is stronger and more durable. But wooden poles are also good, but when you install them, you need to pre-treat the pole at one end, which you will insert into the ground, with a special mastic that has waterproofing properties.
First of all, you need to prepare the holes for the supports of the fence, which are usually dug by hand. The working depth of the pit is calculated according to the classical scheme, according to which it should be at least one third of the height of the support, while at the bottom is a special "cushion" of compacted mixture of gravel and sand.
The columns installed in the pit are then filled with soil, which is also carefully compacted. Metal fence supports are subject to mandatory concreting, and you can also prepare the concrete mixture yourself.
You will need:
- one part of cement;
- three parts of sand;
- five pieces of rubble.
For the Rabitz grid one and a half meters high, the columns are placed at a distance of no more than 2-2.5 m.
Installation of a grid on columns
Installation of a grid of a chain-link fence begins, as a rule, from one of angular columns. It is fastened to wooden poles with the help of special brackets, and to metal supports - with the use of special fasteners, which come complete with columns.
The load-bearing wire is fastened on the columns placed at regular intervals, and the Rabitz net itself is simply tied to them, having previously fixed it from each end (see the figure).
After fastening of a grid on the first support it is necessary to unwind a roll gradually and to fix it on all subsequent supports in the same way. The chain link is stretched as tightly as possible to prevent it from sagging in the future.
The Rabitz grid is issued with cells of various form that however does not play any role at its installation. Except for the aesthetic part. If it is necessary to increase the ended roll, then two rolls can be fastened together by a separate spiral which is included in a set in each roll of a grid.
To prevent water and excess moisture from getting inside the posts, it is desirable to cover them from above with special plugs that come with the feet and which, in addition to protection, can play a decorative function.
As you can see, the chain-link fence as a fence is an excellent and economic decision for a protection of your site. You will save not only money, but also time for installation of a fence as it can be installed quickly independently. And the advantages of such a fence are many: it protects against unwanted penetration, and transmits light in the right amount.
