Chain Link Fence is a type of woven fence usually made from galvanized or PVC coated steel wire. The wires run vertically and are bent into a zig-zag pattern so that each "zig" hooks with the wire immediately on one side and each "zag" with the wire immediately on the other. This forms the characteristic diamond pattern seen in this type of fence.

FAQ
1. What is Chain Link Fence?Chain Link Fence (also commonly known as wire or mesh) is formed by weaving a series of spirals together to make a diamond pattern that is available is a variety of sizes and gauges. The most common is a 2" Pattern (for pool fences a diamond size of less than 2" is required) with #9 gauge wire. The 2" Pattern refers to the mesh size which is the distance between two parallel wires in the mesh.
2. What does the gauge of the wire refer to?The individual spiral wires that are woven together to form the fencing are comprised of steel wire, gauge is the diameter of that wire. The higher the gauge number the smaller (thinner) the wire diameter. The most common gauges are 6 gauge (.192"), 9 gauge (.148"), 11 gauge (.120") and 11-1/2 gauge (.113"). 9 Gauge is the most common wire sized used for both residential and commercial applications. 11 and 11-1/2 gauge are typically used for
Temporary Fencing, while the 6 gauge is used in high security applications.
3. What does "selvage" refer to?How the top and bottom (where the woven strands of wire are bent together) of the chain link fabric is finished is referred to as the selvage. The common selvage types are "Knuckle" and "Barbed" (or twisted). Knuckle is more round and thus safer, there are no sharp points to get caught on clothing or people. Barbed or twisted have sharp ends and are usually used in high security applications.
4. What type of coatings are available for chain link materials?There are three major types of coatings available- Galvanized, Spectra and Permafused ll. Galvanizing is a zinc coating applied over bare steel, this provides one of the highest and most economical solutions for the prevention of rust and corrosion. All our galvanized components are hot dipped, which is a better bond that plating. Spectra and Permafused ll are commonly referred to as 'Vinyl Coated." Galvanized materials are coated with colored poly-coatings for additional protection and more attractive appearance. Spectra is most commonly used and is the least expensive vinyl coating. It is a polyester powder coating. Permafused ll is a more expensive and thicker polyolefin coating that used mostly for commercial applications. Both Vinyl Coatings are available in Green, Black and Brown colors.
