Note: The larger the number, the smaller the wire, for example, 12 gauge gi wire is thinner than 9 gauge. In general, lower gauge or thicker wire is best used for stronger projects. At the same time, higher gauge gi wire is suitable for garden and pet fencing.
How to Choose the Gauges of Galvanized Wire?
It is important to choose the correct size of GI wire. When you are ready to choose it you should consider both strength and usage.
1. According to the Strength
What is the strength of the galvanized wire you need? Generally, the wire gauge determines its overall strength or breaking weight. For example, 12 gauge low carbon galvanized wire has a breaking weight of about 500 lbs. While a 14 gauge GI wire has a breaking weight of about 800 lbs. You should be clear on how strong your project needs to be to choose its gauge better.
2. Depending on the Application
If you are going to use GI Wire for fencing, we have some suggestions for you. When you’re fencing large, heavy animals, you might consider using sturdy 12 gauge or stronger 9 gauge wire. A thinner 16 gauge GI wire is ideal for garden fence. Of course, the specifics should be determined by your actual use. If you have any questions, you can consult with us.
Galvanized Wire Properties
Galvanized wire for sale has very many good qualities and characteristics. Next, Wanzhi Steel will take you to know more about it.
1. Flat and Smooth Surface

will be used for the garden fence will look particularly beautiful.
2. High Resistance to Damage
The bare steel wire can easily be scratched or otherwise damaged, which weakens the wire’s strength. However, the
zinc layer of the gi wire provides hard protection.
3. Good Toughness and Flexibility
Galvanized wire for sale is a kind of iron wire made by drawing using low-carbon steel. Therefore, its toughness is excellent. Formed galvanized wire products can be bent and folded. It is also very good to use this material to make springs.
4. Fire Resistant
GI iron wire is also common in industrial applications where there is a risk of fire. It is an indisputable fact that it remains strong in most fires.
5. Low Cost
It is often a more affordable option than other types of wire products, such as PVC-Coated Wire. GI wire offers price advantages along with strong, long-lasting, and durable properties. 【Click Ror Free Quote】
6. Long life span
This is one of the reasons why many people are willing to buy it. It can last up to 20 years in harsh or high-humidity environments. It can last up to 50 years or longer in normal environments.
Galvanized Iron Wire Uses
Galvanized iron wire is usually used as Binding Wire, fencing wire, etc. Due to its durability and bright surface, it is also used for supporting climbing plants, making crafts, etc. The wide applications also make the galvanized wire a promising investment project.
1. Fencing & Screen

What Is Galvanized Wire?
Galvanized steel wire is steel wire coated with a zinc layer, which can protect the steel wire from rust and corrosion. Zinc can be applied using a method in which the wire is dipped into a molten bath of zinc or it can be electroplated on the surface. Due to its durability and smooth finish, it is suitable for many applications.
Types of Galvanized Steel Wire
According to the galvanizing process, GI wires are divided into HDP Wire and cold galvanized wire ( Electro-Galvanized Steel Wire ).
1. Hot Dipped Galvanized Wire
It is processed through a hot-dipped zinc bathing process. That is the wire is immersed in hot zinc molten so that the surface is fully covered with a zinc-coating layer. The hot-dip GI wire has excellent corrosion resistance, flexibility, and softness.
Manufacturing process: Steel rod coil — pre-treatment — wire drawing — rust removing — acid washing — thermal zinc coating — annealing — (wire re-drawing) –wire coiling — quality control — packaging.
2. Electro Galvanized Wire
The difference between hot-dipped and electro-galvanized wire is the galvanizing process. The latter uses the principle of electrolysis to paint a thin layer of zinc to the surface of steel wire. It makes the wire surface uniform and shiny. 【Click Ror Free Quote】
Production process: Steel rod coil — pre-treatment — wire drawing ( wire redrawing) — rust removing — acid washing — cold galvanizing — wire coiling –quality control — packaging.
Galvanized Wire Price
When looking for galvanized wire for sale, it is inevitable to ask the price of GI wire. You can find the market price ranges from 400-1,500 USD. Actually, the galvanized wire price will be different due to many factors, such as the diameter, the thickness of zinc-coating, galvanizing methods, suppliers, policy, etc.
Commonly, thick galvanized wire and thin wire are of different prices. And the electro-galvanized wires will be cheaper than the hot-dip galvanized wires. With the cancellation of rebate tax and increasing shipping costs, the GI wire cost also rises greatly.
