Chain link fence also referred to as chain-wire fence, cyclone
fence, hurricane fence, or diamond mesh fence, is one of the most
popular choices of fence for both light residential to heavy
commercial fence applications. It is woven by a way that 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 fence.
Chain link fence is most commonly available galvanized which is
silver in color. Chain link fence fabric is typically produced in
50' rolls’ length(15.24m), and the most popular type is 6, 9, 11
gauge wire with 2x2 inches(50x50mm) mesh size, and it is ideal for
industrial and commercial fence applications. The fabric is
galvanized with a 1.2 oz. (366 grams) the coating meets ASTM A
392-03 Class I and we also offer some sizes with a 2.0 oz. (610
grams) zinc coating meets ASTM A 392 Type I (Class II).
