Chain Mesh Fencing

Chain mesh fencing, also known as chain link fencing, is a type of common woven fence widely used for its versatility, strength, and cost-effectiveness. Made from galvanised or PVC-coated steel the wires run vertically and are bent into a zig-zag pattern, forming a diamond-shaped mesh that is available in a range of diamond aperture sizes to suit many applications.

Chain mesh fencing offers numerous benefits, including:

• Affordability: It is one of the most cost-effective fencing options available.
• Durability: Made from high-quality steel, it resists rust and corrosion.
• Versatility: Chain mesh fencing is suitable for use in residential, commercial and industrial settings.
• Easy Installation: Quick to install and can be customised to fit different terrains.
• Low Maintenance: Requires minimal upkeep, saving time, money and hassle.
• Visibility: Provides clear, uninterrupted visibility through the fence mesh, which can be important for certain applications.

Chain link fencing is highly durable as the galvanised or PVC coating protects the steel wire from rust and corrosion, ensuring a long lifespan even in harsh environments. When properly installed and maintained, a chain link fence should last for decades.

Yes, although not as impenetrable as 358 Security Mesh, chain mesh fencing is an excellent choice for basic security fencing of properties, schools, sports facilities, and industrial sites. Its robust construction makes it difficult to breach, and it can be easily enhanced with additional security features such as barbed wire, razor wire, or privacy slats. Additionally, it provides exceptional perimeter visibility for CCTV.

Chain mesh fencing is designed to withstand a variety of weather conditions. The galvanised or PVC-coated steel wire is resistant to rust and corrosion, making it suitable for wet, dry and coastal climates. Additionally, its flexible, open weave structure allows it to endure strong winds without sustaining damage.

Chain wire fencing is extremely versatile and can be used in a variety of settings, including:

• Residential properties: For boundary demarcation and pet containment.
• Commercial areas: To secure business premises and parking lots.
• Industrial sites: For perimeter security and restricted areas.
• Sports facilities: Such as tennis courts, baseball fields, and stadiums.
• Public spaces: Including parks, playgrounds, and schools.
• Temporary fencing: For construction sites and events.

Doogood maintains a huge range of chain mesh wire in Melbourne at our warehouse with rolls of 25, 32, 40, 45 & 50 diamond sizes available.

The most common height for a standard chain-link fence is 1800mm with 50 diamond aperture. When further security is needed, however, it is normal for the height to reach 2700mm, and often a security chain-link fenceis topped with three strands of barbed wire, which adds 500 mm to the height of the fence.

For tennis court fences and sporting enclosures, the typical chain-link fence height is between 3000mm and 3600mm. Most Australian tennis courts call for a 45 diamond mesh, and golf ball protection screens generally require a 32 diamond.

We are also a fully equipped steel fabrication plant so if you need a custom chain mesh fence we offer speedy turnaround on custom heights/sizes.

Selvedge is the term used for the chain-mesh fence's edging, which keeps the fence wire in place. For chain-link fences, selvedges come in three different types:

1. Knuckle/knuckle - the edge wire is folded back on itself and typically used in situations where a fence might come into contact with children or animals.

2. Knuckle/barb - one edge is knuckle folded, and the other has the wire in a barb twist to make climbing over difficult.

3. Barb/barb - both selvedges are barbed, used for discouraging crawling under or climbing over the fence.
