Either repairs or long runs will require weaving chain link together.
-
Lay two sections or rolls of chain link fencing on the ground. Remove one weave from either section the top of the weave at the points and unbend the bottom end of the weave at the knuckle, or the twists at the corner of each triangle in the mesh. Use pliers at the top to spin the twist in counter clockwise circles so that it twists out of the mesh.
-
Lay one section on top of the second section so that the joining ends have one diamond and one-half diamond pattern overlapping. Insert the single weave at the top of the junction so that it will enter both sections of mesh. Use pliers to twist the weave clockwise through both sections with each revolution. Weave the two pieces together fully from top to bottom.
-
Bend the weave with pliers over the bottom to secure it in place. Bend it in the same direction as the other connections at the bottom. Secure the top of the weave by twisting the insertion weave and the weave next to it together or bending it over for a knuckle-style mesh.
