Dig holes for the posts. They should be around 8-10 inches in width. They should have an even bottom. Next, place the terminal posts. You can use cement in order to maintain their position.

Dig holes between these terminal posts. These will serve as holes for line posts. There should be 10 feet between them and they should be shorter than the previous terminal posts by around 4 inches. Place the brace as well as the tension bands over the terminal posts and then, put the post cap. The loop caps should be used next. The carriage bolts should be used in order to connect the brace band to the top rail. Remove the chain link. Use the tension bar and place it through your final link on your fencing. The fencing should be placed against your posts and the tension bar should be fastened to your terminal posts. Wire ties can be used to prevent any sagging.
This should give you a rough idea about how to install a chain link fence.
