chain-link fence is also referred to as wire netting, chain-wire
fence, cyclone fence or hurricane fence.it is a type of woven fence
usually made from galvanized or LLDPE-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 offense.
Common heights include 3 ft, 3 ft 6 in, 4 ft, 5 ft, 6 ft, 7 ft, 8
ft, 10 ft, and 12 ft, though almost any height is possible. Common
mesh gauges are 9, 11, and 11.5. For tennis courts and ballparks
the most popular height is 10 ft.
The popularity of the chain-link fence is due to its relatively low
cost and ease of installation. A further advantage is that due to
the open weave, chain-link fences are transparent, and do not
obscure sunlight from either side of the fence. If a semi-opaque
fence is desired, this can be achieved by the insertion of slats
into the mesh.
