What are the key objectives when you inspect your chain link fence

Take some time to go over and inspect your chain link fence regularly. This is a very important part of preventive maintenance. You don’t need to inspect your fence too often – once every month or two or after a major weather event is good enough. 

When you check over the fence, there are two key objectives. The first is to make sure that none of the links of the fence are missing or broken. The second is to inspect the support posts. Support posts are a key part of maintaining a chain link fence and avoiding major damage.

Apart from general wear and tear and rust, you should thoroughly inspect the posts to make sure that they are still secure within the ground. Support posts form a right “L” shape angle with the ground when upright.
