Post Spacing and Fence Integrity: What Every Texoma Property Needs to Know
The spacing between fence posts does more than affect how a chain link fence looks — it directly influences its strength, function, and long-term reliability. At Smart Site Construction, we approach each install based on your needs, not a one-size-fits-all template. In Sherman, tighter spacing is preferred in areas like schools, daycares, neighborhoods where safety is the priority. Reducing post gaps adds structural integrity and prevents sagging over time, especially when children or pets are part of the equation. For residential uses like simply marking a property boundary, 10' post spacing is generally acceptable. But if you're hoping to keep animals in — or pests out — dropping to 8' spacing or adding a bottom rail or tension wire can drastically improve performance and reduce long-term issues. To explore fence in Sherman, Tx give our full service menu page a look.
Commercial-grade chain link fences typically require spacing no greater than 10 feet between posts, with H-bracing every 8 feet in key sections for added strength. That bracing helps absorb tension across long runs and keeps gates square and upright even under heavy use. We often install these configurations for warehouses, storage yards, and industrial perimeters across Texoma. In Gainesville, we’ve seen great success using flexible spacing and materials depending on the terrain. On sloped or uneven ground, spacing decisions need to take into account not just the width between posts but also the gauge of the wire and whether a rail or tight line tensioning is needed to prevent bowing or lifting.
Meanwhile, Celina's newer neighborhoods, with wide-open yards and lots of pets, benefit from custom post spacing solutions that account for both containment and aesthetics. High-wind zones or shifting soils make reinforcement essential — and post depth, footing size, and bracing configuration all play a role in keeping the fence straight year after year.
The key takeaway? Post spacing should always be matched to gauge, purpose, and property conditions — not just what looks standard. A well-built chain link fence is about more than wire and posts. It's about understanding how all the components work together to serve your goals and last for decades in Texas weather.
Post spacing isn't a one-size-fits-all decision — it changes whether you're setting a fence line for pets in Celina, reinforcing wind-prone corners in Gainesville, or building a tighter perimeter near livestock areas outside Denison.
Fence Strength by the Numbers: Chain Link Gauges and What They Mean
The gauge (thickness) of your chain link wire matters just as much as post spacing. Thicker gauge = stronger fence. Here’s what to know:
​
-
11.5-Gauge: Thin and affordable — good for temporary fencing or low-impact areas as well as residential yards with no pets.
-
9-Gauge: The industry standard for most commercial applications.
-
6-Gauge: Extra heavy-duty — ideal for security fencing, sports courts, and industrial sites.
-
Vinyl-Coated Options: Adds weather resistance and aesthetic value while reducing rust.
-
Galvanized Core: Offers a rust-resistant foundation, with or without vinyl.
​​
For Texoma installs, we almost always recommend at least 9-gauge unless a specific use calls for something lighter or heavier.
Chain Link Solutions for Animals, Kennels, and
Backyard Enclosures
Kennels built with chain link allow for easy cleaning, strong barriers, and flexible layout options. In Celina, homeowners often request shaded areas and partial roofing for long summer days. Our custom dog runs include double-door entries, center dividers, and tensioned fencing to keep animals where they belong. Chain link adapts to any footprint — from narrow side yards to large shared yards — and works well with concrete or gravel bases. A properly braced kennel frame helps it stand up to years of use.
Backyard and Pet Containment-
Chain link is a top choice for backyard animal fencing due to its strength and visibility. We often install low-profile enclosures for dogs in urban settings like Sherman, using welded bottom rails and secure gates to prevent digging or jumping. For families with small pets, we recommend tighter mesh and smaller gates with self-closing hinges. These setups allow airflow and visibility while still offering reliable protection day in and day out. The right layout keeps animals safe and gives you peace of mind. Kennels and Runs-
Rural Enclosures and Livestock Protection- In rural areas like Denison, we build chain link enclosures for goats, chickens, and even miniature horses. Taller fences with 9-gauge mesh and tension wire at the base help keep livestock in and predators out. Some properties need overhead netting or angled return mesh to keep climbing animals secure. Whether you're protecting your garden from roaming hens or setting up a full livestock pen, our chain link systems are designed to match the habits and needs of each animal you raise.
