Residential Demolition in Erie, MN

How are chain-link fences removed?

• Starting at the end of the fence or with a corner post, the clamps holding the tension bar in place are removed by removing the nuts and bolts and then sliding the clamps up and off the post.
• The tension bar is then removed by unweaving it from the chain link.
• The chain link is then cut and rolled up, removing section-by-section until the chain link is completely gone and only the top rail and posts remain.
• If the top rail is fastened to a 'cap' at the corner or end post, the cap is removed.
• With the end cap detached, the rail sections can be twisted apart or cut into manageable sections with a reciprocating saw and a metal-cutting blade.
• Once the top rail is completely removed, the posts and cement footings are dug out of the ground.
