There are three types of posts you’ll be working with. Remove all the end post caps and line post caps. To remove the fence rail, loosen the brace bands from the line post caps, slide the rails out of the bands, and remove the rail caps from the sides of the end posts.

For example, the protective areas behind the hitter in baseball are generally made of chain link fencing as high as 20 feet. But we do build them much higher in certain situations. The standard height for a chain link fence is approximately 4 – 6 feet high. We’ll discuss every method we use to raise a chain link fences height below.
