Understanding the Chain link fence
Diamond braided mesh fencing (also known as diamond netting, hooked wire mesh, galvanized diamond braided mesh, or PVC-coated diamond mesh) is manufactured by interlaced weaving machines processing various metal wires, available in flanged edge or twisted wire lock edge configurations, utilizing materials including PVC-coated wire, stainless steel wire, low-carbon steel wire (SAE 1008), galvanized wire (ASTM A641), and iron wire.
The characteristics of Chain link fence
Chain link fence, fabricated through diamond braided weaving, features uniform mesh openings, flat surfaces, and visually clean lines with exceptional width-to-wire-diameter ratios (typically 3-6mm), delivering corrosion resistance, extended service life, and high durability. Its elastic structure absorbs impact energy, while pre-coated components (PVC/powder-coated/painted) enable welding-free on-site assembly. Ideal for sports facilities like basketball/volleyball/tennis courts and high-impact zones, it also serves animal enclosures (poultry/zoo), machinery guards, highway barriers, and road greenbelt protection. When configured as rock-filled gabion containers, it stabilizes coastal defenses, slopes, bridges, and reservoirs, providing superior flood control for civil engineering projects.
The characteristics of Chain link fence
Chain link fence delivers uniform mesh openings with consistently flat surfaces and architectural-grade aesthetics, complemented by wide roll widths (typically 2.1-4.0m) and heavy-gauge wire (3-6mm diameter) for exceptional corrosion resistance and decades-long service life. Its simplified braided construction ensures structural durability, while modular design enables logistics-efficient transport and tool-free installation. PVC-coated variants offer multi-color options (RAL-certified) combining environmental aesthetics with ASTM D6492-compliant anti-corrosion performance, achieving seamless architectural integration.
Uses of Chain Link Fence:
- Animal enclosures:
- Poultry farming (chickens, ducks, geese) and rabbit pens.
- Zoo perimeter barriers for animal containment.
- Industrial and infrastructural applications:
- Machinery safety guards.
- Highway guardrails.
- Sports field containment fencing.
- Roadside greenbelt protection nets.
- Civil engineering and flood control:
- When assembled into gabion boxes (filled with rocks or rubble), it serves as reinforcement for seawalls, slopes, bridges, reservoirs, and other civil engineering projects.
- Ideal for flood prevention and riverbank stabilization.
- Manufacturing and logistics:
- Craft manufacturing (e.g., decorative items).
- Conveyor nets for industrial machinery.
- Utility and storage:
- Protective reinforcement for warehouses, cold storage facilities, and tool rooms.
- Marine fishing barriers.
- Safety and security:
- Construction site fencing.
- Residential security barriers.
