A Case Study
A Pickle of a Project: Eight-Court Pickleball Complex
From Fence News 2025 February
In today’s commercial chain link fencing industry, a well-trained, well-equipped fence crew has several advantages. With any size crew, a 10-foot-high, 600-foot perimeter fence poses many logistical hurdles. Proper planning, organization, and professional fencing equipment can help overcome many of these hurdles. The Delta Fence and Construction Team recently completed a chain link fence installation at an eight-court pickleball complex in Gladstone, Michigan. Using the correct fence tools, working as a coordinated team, and leveraging professional fencing hardware for the heavy lifting enabled the job to be completed on time and under budget while exceeding their client’s expectations. Delta Fence Owner Ron Chouinard provides insight into each of these factors:
Efficient Use of Fencing Tools
Time on site is important when working on any sized chain link fence job. With the posts placed and set, the 10-foot-tall, 50-foot-long fabric rolls were laid out in advance, so the crew didn’t have to get off the line to load back up. They used L&C Enterprises-USA’s Installink (chain link fence dispenser) to stretch the fence. “When we run out of fabric, we turn the cage down, load another fabric roll, and keep going,” says Chouinard. This coordination keeps the heavy equipment operation, and fence crew working forward around the outside of the facility.
“Using hangers on top to hold the fabric up, we stretch the fence with the Installink, allowing us to adjust and control the tension,” he explains. “We then tie the whole fence as we go with Easy Twist Ties, also from L&C Enterprises. As long as we have the hangers holding the fabric in place, we start with a tying crew, on the inside, behind the stretching crew.”
Crew Coordination
During installation, Delta Fence utilized a crew of four to stretch the chain link fabric, followed by a crew of two to tie the fabric. Even with Easy Twist ties spaced out every 18 inches, the crew was able to keep pace with the fabric stretching team. Working in tandem, one tying high and one low, the crew anchored the fabric to the posts. With the breakdown of tasks and the use of Easy Twist Ties, the tie crew made quick work of the 8-court pickleball facility. With coordination, both fence crews completed stretching and tying the entire 600 feet of 10-foot-tall fabric, minus the gates, in a full day.
Hardware Operation
With a scissor lift and hand drills, the crew worked quickly up and down the fence line. By using proper equipment, the tie crew made quick work securing the fabric to the posts.
Results
“Completing this project for our local pickleballers and the community to enjoy has been a three-year dream come true,” says Gladstone Area pickleball board member Rich Beauvais. “The fence installers came in, got their job done quickly, and got out of the way so others involved could do their part.”
By speeding up many of the mundane processes while eliminating technical hurdles, like loading fence fabric, Chouinard says their crews are highly productive on-site while focused on completing the tasks at hand. “These factors allow Delta Fence to tackle decent-sized jobs quickly and remain competitive in today’s fast-paced fencing industry.”

Ron & Staff, You all did a fantastic job on my fence. It was great working with everyone! I have people give compliments almost every day on how well it was installed. Again, thanks so much!
Chrissy Pfeiffer Norway, MI
Attentive from the get-go. They helped guide what needed to be done. We appreciated the communication and updates. Due to rain, it got delayed. Everything turned out awesome, especially for the dogs. Their honesty was astonishing. The installation labor took less time than expected, so they reduced the price.
Norma & Gordie Bjorn Mohawk, MI
I’m writing this review for my mom, Norma, who lives in Mohawk, MI. She had part of her backyard fenced in this past July by Delta Fence & Construction. My mom was so pleased with the professionalism of Ron and his crew and the quality of work they did. The main reason she had her yard fenced in so she could look after our two Yorkies, they took extra care to make sure the fence was constructed so our puppies could not get out. Both my mom, Norma, and I highly recommend Delta Fence & Construction if you are considering of having any kind of fencing installed. Thanks again to Ron and his crew.
Gordy & Alice Reed Iron Mountain, MI
Kevin, Brent and Tony did a beautiful installation. Words that come to mind are professional, polite, easy to work with, attentive to details, quality workmanship and innovative solutions when issues arose. Those same words apply to you as well for everything you did to make this all come together, it was a pleasure dealing with all of you. We have had numerous compliments already, especially on the color, we are a happy customer!
Thank you,
Gordy & Alice
