Chain Link Fencing

Chain link fencing, also known as wire netting, wire-mesh fence, cyclone fence, or diamond-mesh fence, is a type of woven fence typically made from galvanized or linear low-density polyethylene-coated steel wire. Let’s explore more about this practical and versatile fencing option:

Construction and Design:

Chain link fencing consists of a series of interconnected diamond-shaped patterns formed by the woven wire.

The wire runs vertically and horizontally, creating a sturdy mesh structure.

It’s commonly used for various purposes, including residential, commercial, and industrial fencing.

Features:

Durability: Galvanized steel or coated wire ensures longevity and resistance to rust and corrosion.

Visibility: The open design allows visibility through the fence, making it suitable for security without obstructing views.

Low Maintenance: Chain link fences require minimal maintenance compared to other fencing types.

Cost-Effective: It’s an affordable option for enclosing large areas.

Applications:

Security Fencing: Chain link fences are often used for securing properties, construction sites, and industrial facilities.

Sports Fields: They enclose sports fields, tennis courts, and playgrounds.

Animal Enclosures: Ideal for dog runs, kennels, and livestock areas.

Privacy Enhancement: By adding privacy slats or fabric, chain link fences can offer partial privacy.

Variations:

Galvanized Chain Link: The most common type, with a silver-gray appearance due to galvanization.

Vinyl-Coated Chain Link: Available in various colors (green, black, brown), providing additional aesthetics and corrosion resistance.

Privacy Slats: Inserted into the mesh to enhance privacy.

Barbed Wire Extensions: Used for security purposes.

Installation:

Chain link fences are relatively straightforward to install.

Tension wires help maintain stability.

Height and Mesh Size:

Heights can vary based on requirements, from a few feet to several feet high.

Mesh sizes typically range from 2x2 inches to 4x4 inches.
