How do I cut chain link fence?
Hi, I need to cut a 50 foot by 4 foot cyclone fence in sections so I can build a couple of compost bins. What tool do/can I use to cut the links?

Thank you for writing. Oftentimes shortening a roll does not actually require any cutting. Chain link may be woven and unwoven to create the correct width. If you need to alter the height of chain link fence fabric, this will need done by cutting and reknuckling the ends. A pair of bolt cutters and fence pliers are highly recommended:
Bolt Cutters (I prefer 18" or 24")
Fence Pliers (I prefer 10" round nose)
