Fixing Information for Fence Posts

You will require one each of  'left end' and 'right end' for each section of chain you are installing.

The socket fixing method allows posts to be lifted out for grass cutting so avoids strimming round each one individually.





If you choose socket fixing
and the ground is very hard
you may need to use a spade
to dig holes for the sockets.
If the ground is softer you can use the socket tool we supply.
Drive socket tool into the ground  a few inches and then remove  with  a core 
of soil. 
Push the core of soil from inside the socket.

Repeat this operation until the hole is the required depth for a fence post socket.

Tap the socket into the  hole and knock completely into the ground. Locate the post into the socket.

Now see pictures below for installation of chain.



.


Wooden Stake offers more permanent fixing method.










  For wooden stake fixing
   you will require a heavy
   hammer.
   Tap  the  wooden  stake
   into the ground.
   Locate the UPVC fence
   Post over the top of the
 Wooden Stake and secure
    with the screw supplied. 
  Pass  the chain through the 
  posts until the desired look
  has been achieved.
  The fence is now complete.
  Sit back and enjoy !!!!

Our Black and White Diamonds are supplied loose. 
They easily clip onto the chain and once in place become permanent.  We recommend between 7 and 9 per meter however you can choose more or less to suit your particular project. 
Diamonds are only available for 8mm Chain.

<<<<   20p each                                                       20p each   >>>>

Joining links can be used to connect lengths of chain together, or where wooden or concrete posts are being used to fix chain to screw in eyes.  Particularly usefull for fencing as the chain can not be lifted off as it can when hooks are being used on posts.

<<<<   20p each                                                       55p each   >>>>

 These joiners are available in 
   all the colours of our chains

 These screw eyes are now 
 available in Black or White 

 
How to assess the size of 6mm and 8mm Chains
The 8mm Chain shown above has links which are approx 2 inches by 1 inch but because they overlap 2 links measure 3 inches.  There are 29 / 30 links to the meter. The 6mm chain shown above has links which are approx 1.5  inches long by .75 inch and because they overlap 2 links measure 2.25 inches. There are 40 links to the meter.

Our Terms and Conditions
These terms and conditions apply to all orders placed by our customers over the telephone as this web-site is the only information platform offered by our company in respect of the products it offers for sale.  We feel therefore that it is fair to expect any customer ordering our products to have visited this web site prior to placing any order with us.  It is accepted therefore that when placing an order for our products that our customer has had an opportunity to consider these conditions, and that they will hence force apply to all purchases by our customers and be fully accepted by our customers when placing an order.

The contract between ourselves and our customer will be deemed as concluded at the time the order is accepted by us and payment is received from the customer in full.  

All orders will be dispatched in line with our Delivery Policy as detailed above.  We will not accept liability for claims in respect of late delivery of goods which exceed the cost of delivery charged.  Where a supplementary charge was made for an enhanced delivery service, this charge will be fully refundable to the customer in the event of such service not having been received.

Once goods have been delivered to a customer and the customer wishes to return such goods, notification must be received by us in writing or E'mail, and within 7 days of receipt of the goods. This notification should clearly state the reason the customer wishes to return the items to us.  If the goods are being returned due to the customer changing their mind about the purchase, and the goods are undamaged, the cost of returning the goods to us is the liability of the customer.  The customer is duty bound to ensure that the goods are suitably cared for, properly packaged, and arrive with us in an undamaged condition.  Should a customer request us to collect the goods from them, we can make such an arrangement and deduct the cost of collection from any refund due. Where items are returned and are found to have been damaged through lack of care and attention we will have the right to claim against the customer for rectification of the damage or replacement cost of the goods.  Items returned to us which qualify for refund (see final term and condition regarding chain) will be subject to a checking and repackaging charge of 25% of the original sale value, and a further deduction from any refund will be made to cover the cost of our delivery to the customer in the first instance.  

Where goods are returned by a customer due to having been received in a damaged condition, the cost of return of the goods will be born by ourselves.  In such circumstances we will require photographic evidence of the damage from the customer prior to the goods being returned and we will then arrange for collection of these goods from the customer.

It should be noted that the industry standard for Plastic Chains is 25 meter lengths.  Where a customer has purchased less than 25 meters of Plastic Chain, the chain will be deemed to have been cut to the specific requirement of the customer and as such will not qualify for return credit in any form unless proven to have been supplied in a faulty state.
