Gauge (Ga.) is often used to specify the wire diameter. Originally, gauge referred to the number of wire draws used in the process. The first draw was called No. 1, the second No. 2, the third No. 3, and so on until the last draw, i.e. the thinnest wire. This is why thicker wire has a lower gauge than finer wire, for example, 9 gauge is thicker than 14 gauge because it is drawn less often than 14 gauge. Later, gauge was also used to refer to the thickness of a metal sheet. Next, Wanzhi Steel will take you to learn more.

Origin of Gauge

The use of “Gauge” to denote thickness dates back to the beginning of the industrial revolution in the United States. At that time, people who produce wire needed a way to quantify the product they were selling. The simplest method, of course, was the weight method. But if a buyer simply offered to buy 15 pounds of steel wire without specifying the diameter of the wire, it could cause a lot of trouble. So, the wire makers would quote the diameter based on the number of wire pulls they had performed, and that is how gauge originated.

Comparison Table of Different Units

When non-ferrous sheet metal and steel are of a certain Ga. number, the thicknesses are different. For example, 21 Ga. corresponds to a standard steel thickness of 0.0329inches (0.84mm); it corresponds to a galvanized steel thickness of 0.0366 inches (0.93mm), and it corresponds to an aluminum thickness of 0.028 inches (0.71mm). The following is the unit comparison table for your reference.

Fences are available in a variety of materials, the most common of which are vinyl coated and galvanized. Galvanized chain link fence features a coating on its surface that is silvery in color, which improves the durability of the fence. Vinyl coated chain link fencing is also made of metal, however, it is coated with vinyl instead of zinc. When you are ready to buy, you may be torn between the two of them. Next, Wanzhi Steel takes you through a review of what the differences are between these two different materials of fencing.

What Is Galvanizing?

Galvanizing is a surface treatment technique in which iron or steel is coated with a layer of zinc for aesthetic and rust prevention purposes. Zinc is a highly corrosion-resistant metal that insulates iron from oxygen and water so that it cannot undergo the chemical reactions required to rust. The main methods of galvanizing are hot dip galvanizing (HDG) and electro galvanizing (EG).

What Is Galvanized Chain Link Fence?

Galvanized chain link fence is generally processed from electro-galvanized wire or hot-dip galvanized wire. The chain link fence can be coated before or after weaving. After galvanizing, the fence will be more durable and can last 20 years or more. The galvanized chain link fence produced by Wanzhi Steel can be used for stadium fencing, animal fencing, road green belt protection fencing, gabion fencing, etc.

Advantages

1. Cost-effective. Galvanized fence is a more economical choice compared to PVC coated fence.
2. Long life span. It can last for decades or more, and you don’t need to replace it as often.
3. Versatile. Galvanized fence is the first for most people. It is the more classic hook-and-loop fence. Whether it is used in a residential area or an industrial area, it is suitable.

Disadvantages

1. Slightly less durable. It wears out a little faster when exposed to harsh environmental conditions.
2. The appearance is rather homogeneous. The galvanized fence only has a silver appearance. If you are looking for a higher aesthetic, then galvanized chain link fence may not be the best choice.

What Is Vinyl Coating?

Vinyl coating is a type of coating consisting of synthetic resin or plastic. It is a thin protective layer of a substance that is deposited or applied to the surface of an object. It is primarily intended to improve its performance and to create a protective barrier against surface deterioration due to the reaction of the object to its environment.

What Is Vinyl Coated Chain Link Fence?

Vinyl coated chain link fence is highly resistant to corrosion and durability. Fences made of this material will rust or break down more slowly. In addition, this type of chain link fence is available in different colors that can add color and character to the fence.

Advantages

1. Durable. The metal wire is encased in a protective layer of vinyl that does not rust or break away easily.
2. More attractive. Vinyl coated fence is available in a variety of colors, such as green, red, yellow, white, black, etc. It can be applied to different occasions and make it look more attractive.
3. Customizable. You can customize different styles of vinyl hook fences for different occasions.

Disadvantages

1. Expensive. Vinyl-coated fences are generally more expensive than galvanized fences. If you don’t have much of a budget, vinyl coated is not the best choice.
2. Coating breakage. Although vinyl coating is strong, it can break under certain circumstances, especially when scratched by sharp objects. Once the coating is damaged, it speeds up the rate at which it ages.

Chicken wire is a roll of flexible, hexagonally patterned, lightweight mesh that’s typically made from steel wire. It’s also called hex wire or poultry netting, and it’s used to fence in chickens or other small livestock. Chicken wire is usually made of galvanized steel. After galvanizing, the wire can provide corrosion and rust protection, which makes it very resistant to various external elements. So, do you know what the appearance of chicken wire looks like? Here are some pictures for your reference.

How Strong Is Chicken Wire?

Chicken wire can enclose small animals. If you keep animals such as chickens, ducks, or rabbits, then you have absolutely nothing to worry about, chicken wire is perfectly fine for your first choice. However, its strength prevents it from stopping larger animals, such as deer or wild boars. In addition, animals like foxes are also capable of tearing or chewing through the wire after perseverance, thus getting into the wire mesh. For better protection of poultry, you can choose metal wire with a thicker wire diameter so that predators will find it difficult to destroy it.

Is Chicken Wire Mesh Safe?

Everyone probably considers safety before buying chicken wire. Chicken wire is relatively thin and there is always the possibility of breakage. Once the wire becomes loose, the sharp tip can cause harm to the poultry. Therefore, Wise Steel recommends that you check your chicken coop or fence regularly and maintain it promptly.

How Long Will It Last?

Some types of galvanized chicken wire will last up to 20 years in the right environment. If you want your chicken wire to last longer, you can coat it with a PVC coating. PVC coating provides stronger protection for the wire, making it last for many years without rusting, thus extending the life of the wire.

Who Sells Chicken Wire?

Wanzhi Steel is an extremely reputable wire mesh manufacturer in China. We sell chicken wire mesh in rolls to be used for various purposes. You can buy high quality chicken wire with different wire diameters, opening sizes, and coatings from Wanzhi Steel. Here are two types of wire we often sell, galvanized chicken wire and PVC coated chicken wire.

Galvanized

Iron wire is usually coated with zinc for corrosion and rust prevention purposes. When chicken wire is protected with a zinc coating, it can be made more durable. This type of metal wire is generally not very expensive and is the primary choice for many families raising poultry.

PVC Coated

For aesthetic purposes as well as not having to be replaced for years, it is good to coat galvanized metal wire with PVC. However, this type of wire will be more expensive than the wire that is only galvanized. Wanzhi Steel sells PVC coated chicken wire in a variety of colors to choose from, such as green, black, yellow, etc. The bright colors can make your fence more attractive.

Do Rebar Tying Wires Rust?

One question that many people are concerned about is whether tie wires will rust. The answer is yes, it does. Although the galvanized wire has the effect of corrosion and rust prevention. However, after a long period of use, the surface of the tie wire will inevitably be worn out. At this time, the air reacts with the wire chemically and rust appears. However, rebar tying wire does not rust in a short period. It has a long service life, up to several decades. And it is very strong and not easily damaged.
