CHAIN LINK FENCE
Chain link fences don’t win many prizes for beauty and
designs but chain link fabric is both versatile and practical when used as
fence material. You see chain link fence everywhere, homeowners use them to
keep intruders out and their pets and children in. They keep kids from using
swimming pools without supervision. Businesses use chain link fencing to secure
tools, vehicles and inventory and to partition large areas. Public agencies use
thousands of miles of fencing along highways. That keeps pedestrians and
falling rocks off the roads. Ranchers and farmers corral their livestock with
chain link wire mesh and barbed wire. They feed cattle from bins made of chain
link fabric.
Chain link fences are made from posts, fabric and mounting
hardware. They only support the fences and they can be smaller diameter and
slightly shorter than the other posts. Another difference is that top rails
rest on top of line posts.
Roofing Nails
Install asphalt roofing material over solid roof sheathing
where we use 11 or 12 gauge hot-dipped galvanized or aluminum roofing nails
with heads that are at least 3/8 inch in diameter and barbed wire or deformed shanks
that are 1 to 2 inches long. When re-roofing with asphalt shingles use nails
that are long enough to go at least ¾ inch into the sheathing. You can make
sure the nails you use are long enough by checking the underside of the
sheathing to see if they come through it. Allow for about 2 ½ pounds of nails
per square when you install asphalt shingles.
When you install shingles across a roof, start nailing from
the end nearest the shingle you just laid and proceed across. This will prevent
buckling which drive nails straight to the nail head does not damage the
surface of the shingle. Don’t drive nails into knotholes or crack in the
sheathing. If you have to remove a nail, seal the hole with roofing cement or
remove and replace the entire shingle.
