Chain link fence Types, Uses, Price
Chain link fence, also known as diamond fence, diagonal fence, hook wire fence, active mesh, etc., is a mesh product woven from metal wires (such as iron wire, Stainless Steel Wire, etc.). It has the advantages of strong structure, durability, beauty, economy, and practicality, and is widely used in many fields. It has three types of edge locks: burlap, folded edge shrink handle, and twisted edge lock handle. Wanzhi Steel stocks a large number of regular-sized chain link fences with options such as galvanized and PVC-coated. Customization is also accepted. You are welcome to contact us for more information.

Chain link fence Weight Calculation Formula
1. Galvanized chain-link mesh
Weight per square meter (kg) = wire diameter × wire diameter × 1.335 ÷ aperture.
2. PVC/Vinyl coated chainlink net
Weight per square meter (kg) = wire diameter × wire diameter × 1.335 × 1.2 ÷ aperture.

length and height
Commonly used mesh hole size features
1) 1″ or 25mm and below: small holes, high-density mesh, strong anti-climbing, tighter protection.
2) 1.5″–2″ or 38mm–50mm: medium holes, balanced permeability and protection, economical and practical.
3) 3″ or 75mm and above: large holes, excellent permeability, low cost, but weaker protection.
See first-hand the video of chain link net production in our factory.
What are the benefits of a chain link fence?
1. Structurally robust: The mesh structure of · hooked wire mesh is strong, not easy to deform, and can withstand large tensile force and impact.
2. Aesthetically pleasing: Its diamond or rhomboid mesh design makes the whole mesh look beautiful and decorative.
3. Economical and practical: Chain link fencing is relatively inexpensive and easy to install and maintain, making it highly cost-effective.
Where is the chain link fence used?
Uses of different mesh holes
1) 1″ or 25mm and below: prisons, military facilities, high-security areas, to prevent rats, snakes, birds, rabbits, chickens, ducks, geese, poultry, weasels, and foxes from entering or escaping. Basketball court and tennis court fences.
2) 1.5″–2″ or 38mm–50mm: regular isolation in communities, schools, parking lots, etc. Highway isolation fences, construction sites, activity venue fences, dog farms, ranches (such as sheep herding) medium-sized animal fences.
3) 3″ or 75mm and above: safe isolation of farms, orchards, and industrial land. Enclosure of large livestock such as cattle and horses, use of dust nets with flood control and earthwork projects, and rockfall nets.

Uses of different surface treatments
1. Galvanized chain link mesh: widely used outdoors, such as perimeter protection in residential, commercial, industrial, and public places.
2. PVC (polyvinyl chloride)/vinyl/PE coated chain link mesh: suitable for places that need to be exposed to harsh environments for a long time, such as seaside, industrial areas, etc. At the same time, its aesthetics also make it a good choice for beautifying the environment.
Uses in different fields
1. Construction: Hook construction site fences, temporary isolation walls, decorative nets, or sunshade nets for exterior walls.
2. Agriculture: Fences of orchards and farms, climbing brackets, or support nets for crops.
3. Sports: Fences of stadiums, basketball courts, and football fields.
4. Transportation: Isolation road, railway, and other fences, hillside protection netting, slope paving, and stable.
5. Mining/Chemical/Machinery industry: Screen materials and filter impurities.
6. Other uses: Making everyday items such as cage baskets, enclosures for pet cages.

How many types of chain link fence?
1. Classified By Name
1) Chain Link Fence
This is the most basic name and also the most common.
2) Diamond mesh
It is named because its mesh shape is mostly diamond-shaped. Wanzhi has Galvanized Diamond Mesh for sale.
3) Diagonal mesh
The shape of the mesh is close to a rhomboid, similar to but slightly different from diamond mesh.
4) Ring-linked net and ring-chain net
Emphasize the connection between the wires and the overall structure of the net
5) Hooked Wire Mesh, Anchor Wire Mesh
These designations may relate more to the application or function of hooked wire mesh in a specific area.
6) Wire mesh fence, Mesh for Farming Fence, live wire mesh
These designations then directly point out the specific use or characteristics of the hooked wire mesh.

2. Classification By Material
1) PVC coated wire
It is woven with wire made of PVC (polyvinyl chloride) coated and has the characteristics of corrosion resistance and weather resistance.
2) Stainless steel wire
It is woven with stainless steel wire and has excellent corrosion resistance without surface treatment. Common materials include 201, 302, 304, 304L, 316, etc.
3) High-quality low-carbon steel wire (iron wire)
woven with high-quality low-carbon steel wire (iron wire), the price is relatively low, but the strength is higher.
4) Galvanized wire
including cold-dip galvanizing and hot-dip galvanizing. The galvanizing treatment improves the corrosion resistance of the steel wire.
5) Aluminum alloy wire
woven with aluminum alloy wire, it has the characteristics of lightweight, high strength, and corrosion resistance.[/one_half_last]
Mesh size
3. Classified By Surface Treatment
1) Electro-galvanized
A layer of zinc is plated on the surface of the steel wire through the electroplating process, so that improve the corrosion resistance.
2) Hot-dip galvanized
The steel wire is immersed in molten zinc liquid, and a zinc-iron alloy layer is formed through a hot-dip plating process, which has stronger corrosion resistance.
3) Plastic coated (PVC, Vinyl, PE plastic coated)
A layer of plastic material such as PVC or PE is coated on the surface of the steel wire to form a protective layer to improve corrosion resistance and aesthetics.
4) Plastic dipped
The chain link fence is immersed in plastic powder, which is heated to melt and adhere to the surface of the mesh to form a uniform coating.
5) Plastic sprayed
The plastic powder is sprayed onto the surface of the mesh through a spraying process and then cured to form a coating.

How long will a galvanized chain link fence last?
Galvanized chain link fences are made from galvanized steel and have the same lifespan as galvanized steel, often up to 50 years or more.
Galvanizing is the process of coating steel with a layer of zinc, which provides longer-lasting protection against rust and corrosion than paint. For even greater corrosion resistance, consider PVC chain link fencing, which combines the benefits of galvanized steel with aesthetics and offers UV resistance, abrasion resistance, and a variety of colors.
The following table predicts the lifespan of galvanized steel based on a 30-month corrosion study conducted in 2004 for environmental factors such as humidity, moisture, and air pollutants.

What factors will accelerate the corrosion of galvanized fence?
Research data shows that humidity, temperature, and pH in the air or soil are all factors that accelerate the corrosion of galvanized steel and even metal products. For example:
1. When the humidity exceeds 60%.
2. When used for a long time in seawater or humid water-immersed environments.
3. When used near volcanoes, hot springs, and natural gas pipelines.
4. When used in a strongly alkaline environment containing chlorides or sulfates.
5. When used in moss and lichen environments.
6. Electrochemical corrosion occurs when in contact with metals such as copper, iron, or steel.

How do you keep a galvanized chain link fence from rusting?
1. Avoid any of the above 6 situations to extend the service life of the galvanized fence.
2. Clean regularly, such as dust, leaves, plastic bags, paper, and other garbage trapped in the mesh.
3. Use mild detergent to clean, avoid using corrosive detergents, do not use metal brushes, and avoid being scratched by sharp objects.
4. Apply anti-rust paint regularly and avoid soaking in water for a long time.
5. Avoid long-term high temperature and high humidity in the use environment.
Chain Link Fence Best Price Ranking
From the table below, a barbed wire fence is the cheapest, but it is suitable for blocking the isolation of relatively large objects or animals, for the size of some objects, a barbed wire fence is far from enough.
In contrast, a metal chain link fence is relatively the most cost-effective, it can isolate multiple species of objects at the same time, usually, its mesh, wire diameter, and height can be customized, so the solidity, economy, and applicability are relatively high, it is the preferred choice for everyone to take materials.
| Fence material | Price |
| Barbed Wire | Cheapest |
| Electric/Invisible | Cheaper |
| Metal Chain link | Cheap to Expensive |
| Wood & Privacy | Moderate |
| Vinyl | Moderate |
| Aluminum | More Expensive |
| Wrought Iron | More Expensive |
| Composite | More Expensive |
