How do you make a drag rake from chain link fence?

Answer 1

To make a drag rake from a chain link fence you will need the following materials.

• One 6 foot by 6 foot section of chain link fence.
• Two six foot lengths of 1/2 inch galvanized angle iron.
• 14 1/2 inch u-bolts with nuts.
• One 10-12 foot section of 1/2 inch galvanized chain.
• 2 1/2 inch co-links.

Drill holes in angle iron to correspond with dimension of the u-bolt width on one foot center across both pieces of angle iron. Bolt the angle iron to the chain link fence section with the u-bolts. Attach the chain to one end of the drag rake by connecting the co-link to the chain link fence as close as possible to the angle iron and approximately one foot from each edge of the rake.. Note: lay the drag rake flat on the ground prior to attaching the co-links to the Fencing material. The angle iron should be resting flat on the ground to provide a smooth leading edge of the rake. Finally connect the two co-links to the length of chain to complete the drag rake.
