Black Vinyl Coated Chain Link Fence in Ventura, CA
Our client opted for a black vinyl coated chain link fence to ensure enhanced protection against rust caused by Ventura’s marine coastal environment. This material offers excellent durability while blending seamlessly into the surroundings, making it an ideal combination of security and aesthetic value.
Addressing the Client’s Needs and Challenges
The primary requirement of this project was clear—secure the parking lot to safeguard company vehicles during the night. The vehicles are large, so the client required a vehicle gate with a 15-foot minimum opening for easy access.
However, the installation wasn’t without its challenges. The location was a busy driveway with existing obstacles such as a sidewalk, curb, and asphalt driveway, which required precise cutting and excavation. Additionally, utility lines were running through the area, adding layers of complexity to the project.
Step-by-Step Installation Process
Here’s how we successfully executed the project:
1. Establishing the Fence Line
To begin, we established the fence line, carefully spacing the gateposts to allow proper alignment for hardware mounts. Accuracy at this stage is crucial for a well-functioning gate system.
2. Utility Marking
Prior to any digging, we contacted 811 to mark utility lines. This is an essential step to ensure the safety of the team and prevent damage to underground utilities. One of the end posts was located near an electrical line. To address this, we hand-dug the hole, taking every precaution to avoid damaging the line.
3. Cutting and Excavation
Using a 14″ Hilti concrete saw, we carefully cut through the curb, sidewalk, and asphalt where the fence was to be installed. Once the cutting was completed, we dug out the dirt and positioned the posts.
4. Post Setting
The posts were positioned and left to set overnight for maximum stability. This step is critical to ensure a strong foundation for the fence and gates.
5. Chain Link Fence and Gate Installation
The following day, we returned to finish the installation. We began by securing the top rail, attaching the hardware, and installing the black vinyl chain link mesh. The project was completed by installing a pedestrian gate and the custom 15-foot vehicle gate, ensuring smooth operation for large vehicle access.
Innovative Solutions and Customizations
To address the challenges posed by the curb, utility lines, and driveway materials, we implemented tailored solutions:
- Hand-Dug Post Holes to safely work around electrical lines.
- Precision Cuts with a Concrete Saw to seamlessly integrate the fence into the existing structures.
- Custom Vehicle Gate design to provide optimal access and security for oversized vehicles.
These approaches ensured the integrity of the installation and set the stage for long-term reliability.
